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…

A celebration to lighten the darkest of days, coming shortly after the longest night, and one to bring families and friends together. And part…

Christmas Cooking
Time for some Christmas cooking! It’s that time of the year when I decide to camp out in the kitchen. I love the cooking and baking that the festive season brings, and one of my holiday specials is amaretti. In particular a softer version than the commercial classics. They are easily made and don’t require…

Taking Control
The run up to Christmas has brought with it a bunch of gaming sales, including on the PlayStation store. Control Back in 2019, Remedy released a very interesting game. I didn’t have hardware to play it at the time and it flew under my radar. It seems as though it would be an easy win…
