I'm trying to learn Spanish. One of the many things I'm using loads of things to help me including coffee-break-spanish which are great free podcasts you can download and Spanishdict which has free video lessons.
Both have step-by-step instructions for speaking and understanding Spanish.

Image current temperature, daily low/high I thought I would try something a bit different and trial a bit of sofware called Weather Display. It's not the most straight forward piece of software you will ever use but don't be put off.

You don't need one of those weather stations to grab data, you can use data from a local airport metar. You can check out what I have managed to put together here

Image Mapping the resort An ideal way to get interactive with a map which pin-points places of interest on the Islands of Menorca and Lanzarote.

Image Click on any of the markers or links on the page above the map to reveal a place of interest or location of hotel or apartment. There are controls available to zoom in and convert from map to satelite view.

Picture Gallery A selection of pictures from place and days out.

Image Here's a collection of pictures I've taken from days out just general stuff. I also keep alot of holiday pictures there. I know when I'm looking to book a holday one of the first things I do is try and find some pictures of the resort. This where I give a little payback and share for other people.

It's October the 29th and this is the first day of my efforts to stop smoking. Track my progress over the next three months on the graph which I'll update daily. I'm using a drug called Champix which you can get through the NHS stop smoking service. You keep smoking while you take the drug, the idea is that it reduces the craving. With luck you will see the number of cigarettes I smoke reduce from about day five. Stopped smoking on day 30. So far so good :/

I've seen a front page slideshow I like. Its a module for Joomla developed by GavickPro so it needs a little setting up. There's a few images I have to prepare to make the slideshow. First thoughts are that it looks good and I would like to use it on the front page. The problem at the moment is that it loads a bit slow with a black background. There's a demo of the slideshow work in progress on the testing page. Just follow the menu link to the left.

I'm not long back from my second visit this year to Lanzarote. I grabbed a decent sized two bed villa with pool this time on the edge of Playa Blanca, an area called Faro Park. While I was there I managed to take a few video clips of some of the main tourist attractions / areas. I've had a 'Lanzarote Videos' page marked as under construction for some time so this gives me some material.
