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

  • 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…

We’re outside of Lyme Regis in a rather quaint campsite overlooking some beautiful countryside. Bucking the trend for campsites, we also have 4G reception. The Polestar 2 capacity has been…

  • Metal Shed Solid

    Shed, what’s happening? Shed? Shed?! Sheeeeddddd!!! The base is complete! It was in the last issue, and it remains complete. Things have finally moved on with the rest of the build. I started laying out the base panels for a dry run to make sure they were well positioned. On reflection I would have extended…

  • Shed Loads of Progress?

    Shed-gate? Water-shed? It’s not really a scandal, but it is taking a while. Why not have a coffee while you wait? Since getting the bean-to-cup machine I’ve been giving latte art more of a go. The old coffee machine took quite an age to steam milk given its tiny boiler, but it’s a breeze with…
