Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Madeira (Escaping the Rain)
Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

Once More with Gusto (and Games)

On the n’th day of Christmas (Happy New Year)
Which day is it? Depends on who you ask… Yes, we have just passed Twixmas and entered 2026. This is a particularly weird time of the year. There is so much build up and excitement leading to Christmas day that the slump following it is almost unavoidable. It is a time for sitting around the…

A New Dishwasher (and a few games along the way)
We’re gearing up for Christmas, a process that is in no way enhanced by having to deal with a broken dishwasher. The problem with having a lot of stuff on is the lack of time to write about it. I have managed to squeeze in some games though. Neon White Part of the beauty of…
