Do campers dream of hygienic sheep?

As someone who is relatively new to the camper van life…

I bought a VW California during the COVID lockdown when the world was forever changed and we were all reminded how fragile and short our time on this planet is, but enough of the philosophical introspection.

… I am always keen to try out new things that can improve my experience, especially when it comes to getting a good nights sleep.

Fortuitously, I know a guy who knows a guy that makes some of the best bedtime additions on the market. Baavet pride themselves in making their products exclusively in the UK, using wool from British farms and without the use of any harmful chemicals.

I was lucky enough to be given the chance to trial one of their duvets, and a mattress topper, for a few nights to see if they were worthy enough of the limited space available to the California camper.

BenQ EW277HDR Monitor

I do a great majority of my work from home, sat at a table, hunched over a laptop. As do a lot of the people reading this I would bet. We all know what steps we should take to alleviate any health issues, but we don’t always do them.

With this in mind, the lovely people at BenQ recently sent me one of their new monitors to review, and one with some rather special Eye Care features built-in.

The true GAP between sales and a bargain

Difference in quality

Despite the world falling apart around our feet, I’m sure that some of you would have taken advantage of the sales over the new year period. And why not… It’s an excellent time to strategically get hold of those things you wanted at a more reasonable price.

I too picked up a bargain, or at least I thought I did, when I was sent an email by GAP suggesting I peruse their online sale. I had fairly recently bought a pair of 1969 boot cut jeans and was overjoyed with them (as much as one can be by a pair of jeans).

Should I advise my clients to become bullies?

Firstly, let me welcome you to the roaring inferno that is the world in which we now live. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way it’s time I insulted you… That’s how it works, right? Success and popularity comes from being a bully now, I’m sure that’s what I’ve heard… So, FUCK YOU! Why don’t you piss off to wherever you came from (probably Google, or a link I posted on Twitter)!

What can one really say about the events that have been happening around us this past year? I for one am exhausted, confused and quite simply fed up with the whole bloody thing. Not so exhausted that I couldn’t spare the time to write a few words in the desperate hope that they might be read and shared to feed my ever-present ego mind you… I digress. Consider this an outpouring of thoughts. It might not make much sense, or at times even seem that coherent but this is happening so go with it.

To the stars through friendship⭐️

Buzz Aldrin in conversation with Brian Cox

On Sunday 28 February I was fortunate enough to be in a packed theatre at the Science Museum to see Buzz Aldrin in conversation with Brian Cox. It had been a day full of space related activities, not only had my son and I marveled at the permanent exhibits of rocket engines and lunar vehicles’s but we had visited the spectacular Cosmonauts exhibition in the morning. But it was now time for lift-off…
