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…

  • 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…

  • The Einsteinian Method

    I keep stumbling across partially written entries, or ideas for posts, only to realise them at a later date when I’ve got some free time. Today is no different, and here is something I jotted down a month or so back. Weeding in Granda’s driveway allowed me to clear my mind completely, and begin to…

  • Stranger

    Again, I’ve been falling behind. I will say that I’ll have a proper post up at the weekend, as right now there’s too much going on to write really – my mind is focused on arthritis! If you didn’t already know, I’m on placement up in Altnagelvin hospital in Derry (I’m using it for convenience,…
