  • 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. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

  • Leak(s)

    A week of DIY, with a few plot holes. A little thing can generate a lot of work. An odd stain appeared at a very specific part of our kitchen ceiling. Using skills learned from the management of cellulitis (soft tissue infections in the skin), I drew around the components to check if it was…

  • Didn’t it snow!

    Here’s a little taste of our time in Paris. The weather outside was frightful. And there wasn’t a fire in sight-ful. Since we’re stuck out-side, oh. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. We spent last week in and around Disneyland Paris and were treated with a rather magical experience on Thursday when…
