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…
Ordinary Decent Gamer was born out of a desire to write about games, but it has become so much more. Food, travel, DIY and more.

Cupra and Code Veronica (is that anything?)
In response to the title, probably not… A slight aside before getting into the meat of this post. We ran into the first battle for chargers over the weekend. At Gloucester services most of the chargers were occupied which led to a queue forming. There were some spaces on Tesla Superchargers, but not everyone has…

(Even more) Electrification
We’ll soon be moving away from fossil fuels entirely as a family (on a household level)… The Next Car The Polestar 2 experiment has been a success. A few months in and over 2,500 miles (even without commutes), it has been an excellent automobile. Yes I’ve had niggles with the key and the app, and…

Project: Hedgehog (or Hedgehogs and Projects)
Rain. Rain. And more rain. Although that’s not all that visited recently… For the first time in living memory, our garden played host to a little spiky mammal who wandered into view across the patio. The area is rather exposed and patrolled by multiple cats which is probably why we haven’t seen any hedgehogs here…
