Ady and I went on the walk that mum and dad did on Tuesday. We made it all the way to Las Casillas and had lunch in a shady spot just after the abandoned village. The views were amazing all the way up, but it was extremely hot. After lunch we carried on a short…
We got in the car and drove back along the road to San Andres where we turned inland and wound our way up the Anaga mountains to the Miradore Pico des Ingles. The views from there were fantastic especially given that we had yet another gloriously clear and sunny day. We carried on over the…
Mum and Dad walked almost to Lomo de las Casillas. Ady and I had a lazy day on the sun loungers. We went for a short walk down to the shore and the cemetery after lunch. Mum and Dad got back just after 5pm and we had a barbeque.
We dropped off Mum near the Hiper Dino in Santa Cruz. She got some shopping then took the bus to San Andres and after a short break on to Igueste. Dad, Ady and I made it to the lower cable car station of Mount Teide in perfect time for our booked slot at 11am. The…

Following Raymond’s death last year we said that we should arrange a visit to the Science Museum in London to go and see 2LO – the BBC’s first transmitter, which Ray had been instrumental in helping save from the scrap heap. We decided on the weekend of 18th February to fall after my 40th Birthday…

# mythtv-backend is a pain for tuning, updating channels and sorting channels nicely. # However, it is better than tvheadend for pausing live TV and recording. # mythtv does not advertise services as TV or radio, therefore Kodi lists all channels as TV. # A workaround is to set up separate sources for radio and…
