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.

  • 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.

  • Cornering Cornwall (Corny?)

    We spent a couple of weeks in deepest, darkest Cornwall before peak tourist season. It wasn’t sunny… Some Serious Islands The Isles of Scilly lie off the coast of Cornwall and are accessible by ferry, plane, and helicopter.
