Adventures selling art to the public, on the street, on a chilly December day.
More about plans for 2010, the big move to another part of the country, more art, and still more art.
New sites released:
Buy our art at sawber.com
Get all the Absinthe you could ever want at absinthe-shop.com.

That’s it for now – and I’m sorry for the less than perfect sound quality – all new equipment and clearly I’ve not managed to work out how to get the best out of it yet!

SPAIN
Could our plans be changing? With more and more thought about what is important and what are the core reasons for wanting the move to Spain, we could end up getting there sooner. Find out if we are there yet: AreNeilAndJenInSpainYet.com!

PET PORTRAITS
Bringing more and more art back into day to day life. Recent experiments with pencils have led to Pet Portraits possibly becoming a semi commercial project.

MP expenses fracas
The MPs expenses fracas strengthens my resolve to avoid reading newspapers. Freedom of the press is fine until the media begins to deliberately attack and undermine individuals, in place of simply reporting the news. Once again we see the ogre of political motivation behind what should be simply the presentation of information

Persistent Spirit update
Waiting for the final installment of Table Rappers Persistent Spirit? Here’s a quick catch-up and some explanation as to why you are having to wait far longer than I ever anticipated.

A new video project
Could you be seeing me as well as listening in the near future? Possibly as I develop a new video show all around my creative passion for sketching and drawing. Something new, something different, and something I love doing. More info in this episode, and more still as the project develops over the coming weeks.

What’s in this episode:

No espresso for you
It looks suspiciously like my Zoom H4 is no longer functioning, so you’ll have to go and listen to your own coffee machine.

Living in Spain
Last week’s vacation confirmed where our hearts and ambitions truly lie, in Dénia on the Costa Blanca, South Eastern Spain. Plans are afoot to get us there in the next few years, so watch this space for more updates as we (hopefully) get closer to our dream.

Fitness and bike gadgets
The old bike is off to someone else and the new bike is up and pedalling! The geeky side of cycling returns with a heart rate monitor and pace/cadence monitor to optimise the time I spend trying to get fit, and also to keep me in the safe zone. I discovered I was less than safe when pushing myself on solo rides.
Garmin Speed/Cadence Sensor For the Forerunner/Edge
Garmin Forerunner 50 Sports Watch with Wireless Sync & Personal Heart Rate Monitor

Nostalgia on the iPhone
Alongside modern applications such as GPS route tracker RunKeeper, I have been travelling back in time to the good old Amiga days playing the very faithful Pinball Dreams (iTunes Store link). With the appearance of classic – and huge – Mac puzzle and adventure game Myst (iTunes Store link), could we have a whole new dimension to the iPhone applications for us old geezers?

This time I’m talking in more detail about one of the factors driving us to want to live outside the UK – it’s the general, underlying attitude of the population. Do you agree? Let me know.

Find out about vertically challenging IRIS scanners at Heathrow airport, more attitude from Scottish Power sales reps – did you know you are retarded if you don’t want to switch energy supplier? – and the start of an epic journey of waxed facial hair and traditional shaving.
