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

  • 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…

I suppose that should read “university” – I really don’t get why people decide they won’t call university school any more. It just is, end…

  • Booted due to inactivity…

    Not yet thankfully…not from my own blog. Though I have to apologize, because things have been hectic as usual and I haven’t been able to post. When I arrived home from America I was rushed straight back into work, getting the house tidied up and doing odd jobs, to get ready for our American guest…

  • Guess who’s back

    I’ve been behind on posting recently, to my detriment, because so much more has happened since I was last on here. Everything is go in my house at the moment, as we are getting ready to host an American as part of Operation Friendship, and in addition to that we’re hosting the welcome party on…
