On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour
I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)
*The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain.

I’ve cracked the no-knead bagel approach which is fairly hands off, adapting a recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. The only slightly fiddly bit is the…

The Rain in Spain (Barcelona Edition)
Want to see some photos of food? I’ve got plenty. I can confirm, in fact, that the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains in and around Barcelona. People have drowned in less. Barcelona is not really designed to cope with this amount of rain. There are a serious amount of impermeable surfaces and…

Shed Loads of Work
It starts with a mess. The workshop shed has been up since late August/early September last year. After the monumental effort preparing for and building said shed, I didn’t have a lot of energy left to do much else. Time went by, and other more pressing concerns arose (including a leaking pipe leading to some…
