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…

Burgers, Camping, and Camp Survival Horror?
Camping? In the UK? Is that wise? This one will be shorter by necessity as I’m writing on a phone rather than a proper computer. 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…
