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.

Bound for Basel (from Zoo to Cordon Bleu)
We spent the past weekend exploring Basel, the cultural capital of Switzerland. Please note, this post contains no AI generated content. (It feels simpler to have a reverse disclaimer these days…) Uniting brutalist concrete wonders with old world wooden architecture, Basel sits astride the Rhine as a corporate powerhouse. Novartis and Roche are headquartered there.…

Desk Job
Exactly how long can you write about four hooks for? Well reader, you are about to find out. Stick around for a wild ride! First I’d like to ease prospective readers in. Here’s a picture of my exquiste lunch on Monday. It’s a buffalo chicken hot sandwich from Rhubarb & Mustard in Plymouth. For those…
