PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)
Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

A Few Good Days
Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple
While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

Any Port(ugal) in a Storm
As an antidote to the dire weather the South West has been experiencing over the last weeks and months, we took a trip out to Albufeira in the Algarve for four nights. I have never been interested in package holidays. In fact, I have actively resisted them. We did a Haven holiday to Brittany when…

Time Out
And now begins five weeks free from work. Whatever will we do? We have embarked upon a five week stretch of work-free bliss. There are a bunch of little trips planned and some time around the house to get stuff done. Newforge Workshop Since migrating my business to the mainland, I haven’t had much time…

Bean to Cup?
More like Bank to Box to Bean to Cup. Scratch that. Birth to Business to Bank to Box to Bean to Cup, if we’re being accurate about it. Yes, this is my first foray into the world of Bean to Cup coffee machines after exploring Aeropress, a manual espresso machine (Saeco Poemia), the V60, mokka,…
