It’s a great pub with tasty and interesting food, served by cheerful staff. If you are ever in Anglesey, it is well worth a visit.
The beach at Rhoscolyn is also worth a visit, especially for entertaining the kids. Next time, we must remember to bring some.
I got a copy of the new mac os yesterday from the nice people at GBM in Manchester. Of course I installed it as soon as I got home. I am a marketers dream, I really am. I had no problems after the install, everything seemed to work fine. All my favourite web authoring applications (TextMate, CSS Edit and Transmit) updated straight away. The only problem I had was the install knocked out my Keychain items. I tried to revert them to older versions using Backup, but to no avail.
I especially like the Spaces application as it really helps me keep a handle on the 100 windows I invariably leave open. The look and feel is an improvement too. Everything is very ITunes-ish, perhaps in a move to advertise the computer to the iPod masses. Or perhaps just to standardise the product line. There is a whole lot of gradients and shine, but it seems a little more muted than the excess use of Fisher Price – like icons of the earlier versions of X.
I guess I’d give it 4/5. A nice update, but not a completely stunning new operating system. Is £85 too much? Not sure, look at how much Vista is. And there’s a strange update. I prefer XP.

My Granny heard from a friend that if you put sultanas in your cheeks (just one in each facial cheek mind), you wake up with a refreshed, liquid filled mouth. She has taken to this and inserts one in each facial cheek every night. I have a couple of doubts about this process. Firstly, the natural sugar in dried fruit will surely be bad for your teeth. Secondly, the chemicals on the sultanas won’t be good for your mouth. This week however, I had a cold and I thought I’d give it a go as a means of avoiding the dry mouth problem that is made worse by a cold. As a one-off I felt it was no risk to my oral hygiene. Unfortunately it didn’t work. I woke up with a dry mouth with no sultanas inside. I’d eaten them. Tonight I am going to do the same with a malteser.
