sound of pan pipes with a specific tune announcing that he will sharpen your knives, scissors, axes or whatever. Used to be a man on a bike with a portable grindstone connected to the bike, then they got scooters and changed now to driving a van. At least we still get to hear the special sound of it.

Lovely evening for a night swim from the Platja Gran at Platja d'Aro. Nice bit of moonlight and great feeling looking up at the stars while floating in the sea. So I sat on the beach afterwards to record a boo.

OSX Mavericks is coming and so is iOS 7. What are we going to get besides a load of hot air from all of the Mac websites and podcasts. They are all trying to guess what is coming and how it is all going to work.

Can we use technology to make our lives better?

I have been into photography and for rather a long time starting off with a film camera that would have been the point-and-shoot and moving onto the film DSLR with an Olympus. Now I'm using a Canon 600D and I use it mainly for shooting video although I did take a lot of photographs on my trip to Estonia.

I do sell some of my photos through the Fotolia website and I upload photographs to the Flickr account as well as to other social networks.

With this Canon camera that I have now I can do quite a lot of things with it, but I found out the other day that there was a lot of controls within the camera that I hadn't actually bothered to find out about. These cameras are very congregated and worth spending the time exploring all of the menus and settings that are available. I have promised myself some quality time with this camera pushing the envelope of what I can do with it

The Mother-in-law fell over and broke her wrist and my wife had to go off to the hospital and didn't get back till late, very late as in early in the morning. So this morning I was walking the dog and creating the Audioboo.

Everyyear in St Feliu de Guixols in Catalonia there is a Festa Major. It is the event of the year for partying and apart from the Correfoc there is also the end of Festa Major fireworks display.

We were sitting in the best cafe in the small town of Haapsalu in Estonia and it seems that I do most of the chatting and talk rubbish most of the time. Of course there is a party after a wedding it's called a reception!

Jaques gives his views on how they could be a good place for doing windsurfing and how you would like to see what it looks like during or after a storm.

I should have put up these Audioboo's in a better chronological order, but to be honest I had forgotten that I had recorded this one.

this is a Audioboo with me walking the dog late at night and as per usual the neighbour's dog is following along too. Talking about things at the camping site and some of the cheeky people and some of the nice people that I meet as part of the job. We caught a cheeky person that was coming into use the Site facilities for free. Then one of the long-term campsite customers was demonstrating his ability to tell porkies and bend the campsite rules with regard to getting his car into the campsite for parking.

I talk about some of the customers that are here and the fact that I kind of miss them a little when they go home because they are so friendly. Then there is another pair of couples from Holland and one of them has ended in hospital in Barcelona which is not a great way to spend some of your holiday in Catalonia. However pretty the nurses are!
