Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

Busy Times, and the end of the Trip
I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last post. Much has happened since then, and I have been largely non-stop since my return from America. September was a busy month, with a lot going on. I should probably recap the end of my holiday first, before I forget everything. America, continued Originally, we…

The American Dream…of sorts
American Dream Things have been pretty busy, and the time is flying by. I had meant to write a lot more, but by the time I got back to the house and ate, I was too tired to think about anything else. I’m remembering something…something awesome. Sitting in the back of a pickup truck, wearing…
