My steak was nice but Angela's duck breast turned out to be more like a rugby ball. Having said that they do put on a good spread for the money, even throwing in loads of party extras like cameras, balloons, poppers (of the party type and not the sniffing variety) and hats!

Bundaberg Root Beer

Details
Created: 21 December 2005

Haven't had Sasaprilla since I was a kid. I get bottles of this from Waitrose in Westbourne. A very grown up adult's soft drink. Not overly sweet so it is just right.

Made by Bundaberg in Australia.

Magic Roundabouts that pump water

Details
Created: 10 December 2005
Whilst listening to Jonathon Ross's Radio 2 show on Saturday, they talked about a project that installs roundabouts for children to play on in Africa. The magic part of it is that it also acts as a pump that is extracting water from wells below. Very ingenious use of low technology and human effort.

You can see more about the project's work in Africa here: Roundabout, The Playpump.

You can also donate, but there is no need to dig any extra into your pocket as if you want a bottle of water, you can simply purchase the ONE brand. All profits go to fund the project. Click for more information on ONE Water.

Unfortunately it does work on my Mac OS X laptop as it is only for Windows at the moment, so I can still use it at home.


With Google Earth you get the capability to photgraphically navigate the earth and zoom right in. Although some places have higher resolutions than others, especially when you are trying to look at bombholes in Iraq!

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
