New Year, New Beginnings

Those who know me know that New Year is usually a depressing time for me.  Another year older, and the start of another year where anything can happen (usually bad).

 

Well, I can honestly say 2015 will be remembered as being the year things started to look up for me. It's been a great year, and it's so nice that it's ended on a high.  I'll always go in to each new year as a pessimist (that's just me, expecting the worst), but at least (at last) I've gone in to 2016 happy, with my wonderful family and some wonderful memories from 2015.

 

For me, the big event of the year was us moving to a much larger house.  It's surprising how much happier we all are with the extra room.  Of course, that's not the only good thing to happen in 2015.  I've been able to manage my work/life balance a little better, and all in all I'm feeling a lot better and happier in myself.  Still some way to go, but at least I'm on the right track.

 

Anyway, have a fantastic and happy new year everyone and I hope 2016 is 'your' year.

Stuart's Panoramic World 15 - Evesham, December 2015

 

Blimey.  My 360° panoramas are like buses - None for ages, and then two come along together!  This one is an aerial view of Evesham, showing the river Avon, the town centre, Bell Tower (with lots of scaffolding), Waterside and Bengeworth. 

 

Use your mouse (or cursor keys) to look.  Your mouse wheel allows you to zoom in and out.

Stuart's Panoramic World 14 - Elmley Castle, 2015

 

It's been awhile since my last 360 panorama.  Having had the chance to play with a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced Drone, I've been doing some aerial views.  This one was taken yesterday at Elmley Castle, a small village near to Evesham and at the base of Bredon Hill.

Retro Game Boys Episode 4 - Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64)

After a slight break (blasted real life getting in the way), the boys return.  This time they look at Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64, and also look at a couple of retro computer books currently available to buy.

 

Pointless Post

Its a quiet night, so I thought I'd do some maths.

Sophie and Kayleigh are exactly 2298 days old today.
 Kieran is exactly 3939 days old today.
 I am exactly 14187 days old.

When I was the girls age (as they are now at this very minute), the date was Friday 29th April 1983. When I was Kieran's age, the date was Monday 26th October 1987 (the time of the great storm of 87).

Yep, some useless information for a Monday evening. Nothing like a bit of maths to make me feel older than I already do.

Retro Game Boys Episode 3 - Pac-Mania (Commodore Amiga)

Another day, another episode. This time, the Retro Game Boys play Pac-Mania on the Commodore Amiga 1200 and have some rather young, super-excited special guests join in on the fun too. Wacka Wacka Wacka Wacka.
