New Climbing Wall in Cardiff

I have not been climbing for sometime. I think the last time was about a year ago and then before that it was about two years. But with the opening of a new climbing wall in Cardiff I have decided that I am going to try and go more often and get back to being fit. When I  was younger I used to go at least twice a week and then all weekend on a trip to either North Wales or one of the local crags. The centre is really well positioned for me to get too and so I am looking forward to it although I know how much hard work it is going to take before I am anywhere near what I used to be.

Beijing Olympics 2008

We have almost do it our latest interior design project(our office) is almost complete. We have created a new area for meeting our clients which came in handy to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. I have never watched an opening ceremony before but this time round I thought I should and I was not disappointed. We watched it through the BBC i Player and although the quality is not great it was good enough to get a sense of how amazing it looked. Check out Boston.com for some amazing shots of the event
