Bluetooth speakers are a great advancement from the wired ones as they are convenient and easy to place anywhere. However, the main problem is that there are so many to choose from so it is rare that these speakers grab my attention. These little Sydneys from Urbanista were some that actually did. They are small enough to dot around my kitchen and have a nice tactile feel about them with their fabric covering. They have a good run charge of 5 hours after a 1.5-hour charge and they are water resistant so great to take out and about.

I bought these headphones a while ago now and I’m really impressed. Good sound, good fit, good battery life and nice to be free of cords. No hassle to pair the headphones with the phone, no hassle with wires, no hassle at all. Highly recommended!

Jack Wolfskin have a great reputation of delivering great products and well worth their price. I have to say that this is the case for the Thermic One Jacket.

With all technology there is a transition phase. For example, VHS was a standard for videos in the 80s and 90s, but as the 00s came over the horizon, so did digitization and DVD’s. People didn’t just stop using VHS and move straight over to DVD. There was a phasing out period. Hence for a long time you could buy combi devices that allowed you to play both.

The worst thing for me about camping is struggling to sleep with uncomfortable beds.  I have tried many different types of foam beds and air beds, all of which are a poor substitute to a real bed. 

We had a Swingball set when I was a kid. It was a simple set-up – you stuck the pole in the ground and whacked the ball as hard as you could (or, with a bit more precision, if you were actually trying to play). The rackets that came with that game were pretty much the same as this set has now, but this upgrade has a few key differences that we were lacking back then. The obvious one is, of course, the wobble base.
