Once More It's A Winter Wonderland

Blimey, where has the time gone? Well, pull up a chair and I'll tell you. I've not stopped, it's been one thing after another - I've launched 5 or 6 new websites over the last month for starters. I won't mention their names here as they're a bit dull to be honest.

Three of them were experiments with a technique called arbitrage - a technique that few like, but a select number profit on when they do it right. I have to admit, it was a bit of a dead avenue for me, but I can see the potential and may pick them up again in the near future - it's not an enjoyable way of working for me so I'm concentrating on the area that's working for me at the moment, Bingo.

Which is why I've also launched two more Bingo related sites, both of which replicate some of the things that have been working well recently on the main Bingo site. At the moment that's where the money is I need to concentrate on that for a bit now.

I think I've spent too long planting web seeds and seeing what'll grow, I've learnt so much the last few months that now I can see a way forward with a bit of time and money. It's time for me to kick my massive web sprawl into a more focused mass, feed the winners and pluck the losers for the compost heap.

On top of all this, we've got an offer on the house and will have to be on our way at the end of January. We still don't know where, depending on news in the next day or two, it may be local, it may not. It's all up in the air!

But that's enough boring stuff, you're not here for my prattle, at least not if you're sane. Your here for something nice to look at, and I'm pleased to offer up a selection from our recent trip to the 2006 Winter Wonderland.

The weather's been a bit bizarre, lots of storms, hale, great light and instant changes - but the afternoon at the weekend we went it was a nice crisp, sunny late winter afternoon. We took Elis up on the big wheel which he loved, and I shot some more bits and bobs around the place.

The big wheel and a lampost... At Cardiff's Winter Wonderland

Lookin up at the big wheel at Cardiff's Winter Wonderland

The skaters in shadow as we enjoy the last of the sun on the big wheel

Looking out over town and the little haven of Christmas jollity that is the Winter Wonderland

The dragon on top of the City Hall, viewed from the top of the wheel

Dusk falls and the funfair lights up

The magical carousel and horses in the dusk

The ice gets a slippery top surface polish

And odn't get me going on Christmas. I've been so wrapped up with stuff I haven't done a thing. And to be honest, there are going to be a few disappointed relatives as I don't have any spare cash for stuff like presents, everything is tied up in the business and day-to-day at the minute. More fun and games.
