Ikea/Tai Chi

So I decided, on a spur of the moment, to check out the Ikea in Cardiff. I managed to get some good useful stuff there (basting brush, chef's knife, tupper-ware, and a super comfy office chair).

You can't imagine how comfy it is :)....soooo comfy!

But I didn't just get it for comfort, I am actually very impressed at the lower back support this chair provides, it's really amazing quality for the price (yes I am giving a bit of a consumer review, but I really like this chair).

As some of you may or may not know, I am an ergonomic buff. I have the nice chair, but I'm still on the search for a good keyboard/mouse and matching wrist rests.

Anyway, possibly because I was dilly dallying in Ikea or for other reasons... I ended up being late for my first Tai Chi session at the school sports centre. Nonetheless, it did feel great to get back into Tai Chi; I had really forgotten how good I felt even after just a little bit of practice. The Tai Chi that is being taught at the school however is a different style than I was initially taught. I started learning modified Chen style (long form), and the Tai Chi at the school is traditional Yang style (short form). But there are a lot of similarities and I'm sure to pick it up quickly.

All in all it was an interesting day yesterday and I capped it all off by assembling an Ikea chair before I went to bed.

Cheers

Blog, long overdue

Hello Everyone,

I know that this blog is long overdue, so I guess I will start by trying to catch up. I had a great trip a couple weeks ago to Caerphilly Castle. It was an amazing castle to explore, and the weather was amazing as well. The design is very cool because it's pretty much a castle within a castle and thats what makes it so big. It's also essentially the center of the town and it seems to dwarf the town. When walking around it and in it you tend to forget that there's a Walmart down the road.

However, I could talk about the castle all I want, but it's probably better if I just show you the pictures.

ENJOY!
