If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Walls, Fletchers, and Games

    The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

  • 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…

  • 2012 in review – by WordPress

    The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. I will have to do some sort of end of year entry, even though it is a bit late. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,900 views in 2012. If every…
