If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

Passing ageing villas with crumbling walls, steeped in character. Occasionally a concrete block juts out of the city scape, testament to the years of Communism. This…

  • Roaming in Romania

    Once again I’m on the road, but this time, headed to Bucharest for the week. I am trying to make the most of the latter part of my training and get exposure to as much pathology as possible. Part of that is travelling to do some courses which are not offered in the UK, and…

  • Garden of Corn and Wine

    The glorious sun continues, as does Devon’s hosepipe ban. There have been a lot of watering cans on the go… Gardening Finally, we’ve had a great stretch of warm weather that the plants have embraced wholeheartedly. The weedy specimens in the raised beds from a few weeks ago have become established, if not fully fledged,…
