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…

Heat Pump, Take Three
Radiators filled. System pressurised. And action! It was almost destined not to happen, but after months of pain, disruption, and switching companies, the air source heat pump (ASHP for those in the know, or if you want to be pretentious) installation is finally happening. Octopus Energy is the force behind it, and they have been…

Swiss Cheese in the English Alps
A long drive in torrential rain (a theme of late) brought us to a bungalow just outside Grasmere in the Lake District. There was a little walking, and a lot of eating. Here are just a few of the fun filled activities we got up to. Raclette, you say? Raclette is an Alpine semi-hard cheese…
