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…

Sun? In England? You must be mistaken
Yes, Plymouth has seen about 24 hours of sun, uninterrupted by rain. This is a complete departure from recent weeks and months, and triggered a specific reaction seen within a proportion of the population…gardening. This year I’m behind (am I behind if I’m behind every year?) in the garden department. I’ve cleared out one raised…

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…
