affiliate store kickback

I got paid by amazon and google recently and at the weekend I bought myself some things with the cash. The google cheque, being in US dollars will be a faff to cash and the exchange rate is rubbish at the minute. Still, all in all, I have covered the hosting costs of last year, so there is something to the google ads and the amazon links. I decided to ignore that sunk cost and instead bought myself something I have wanted for a long, long time, an ice axe.
All this is in preparation for a Scottish Winter mountaineering trip next week, see scary picture of me all kitted out for the highlands. More in subsequent posts.
