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…

Fun with 35mm, and Shedding Light on Exposure
The plucky little West German is at it again. I have un-earthed my compact 35mm camera in recent weeks and been re-learning my way around film. My second outing with my Minox 35 GT was more successful than the first. I thought I’d try out a Kodak colour film this time with 24 exposures instead…

Platelets, Pathology, Photos, and EgyPtology
Happy New Year! Here’s hoping for a quiet one. Saturday was a busy day. Mouna 2. Climbing. Platelets. I even managed to squeeze some pathology in during the donation. 70 to 90 minutes is a long time to sit in one place, so figuring out how to navigate slides and type with only my left…
