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.

You probably realise by now that I’m a big advocate of both active travel and public transport. Getting cars off the road makes things better for…

Jurassic in the Park, and Jury-Rigging Monitors
We had an ambitious plan for the late May bank holiday. To keep a three year old up to midnight watching Jurassic Park in an open air screening at the Eden Project. Madness, you might say. You’d be right…mostly. Jurassic in the Park? The evening started with a two course dinner in the Mediterranean biome.…

Resident Evil, and Resident Chef
Back to Ordinary Decent Gaming roots. As you may have figured out by now, Ordinary Decent Gamer isn’t always about gaming. In fact, it might feature less than almost every other topic. Food seems to sneak in more often than not. Drinks. Even electric cars. Life seems to get in the way of sitting down…
