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. 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…

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. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

Do Android Sheep Dream of Electric Cars?

Arid January
Adding a desert vibe makes it seem a little more exotic. In an effort to give our livers a break, we’ve joined the Dry January bandwagon. Well, we haven’t entirely joined. It’s a mostly dry month, but we’re attending a Burns Night celebration on the 26th of January so there will necessarily be a little…

Island Hopping (Asia 2023 Part 4)
It has been a while, but it’s time to get back to Japan. The car opened up a lot of opportunities for exploration of the main island of Okinawa, but there was no need for motorised transport on the smallest islands we visited. Ferrying out to Aka island on a high speed boat was a…
