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…

We un-paved paradise, and put up a playground… The area at the back of our garden had been used as a dump for generations of folks. Broken bottles. Wheelbarrows. Insulation. Broken bricks. Mobile phones. You name…

Part of entertaining is necessarily cooking (traditionally speaking, of course) and since I was making my oft requested Korean fried chicken, I wanted to do something a little different for…

Liverpool…Not just a Pond Full of Viscera
On the road (rails) again. I’ve been travelling again, but this time within the confines of the country and within unreliable public transportation distance, at the home of the Beatles. This is my second trip to Liverpool and first for business. I was at the joint meeting of the British Division of the International Association…

Pa-pa-pa-papanasi (More Romania)
It was a hectic week with long hours and many miles travelled, but Bucharest was well worth travelling to. Strolling down tree-shaded side streets, the air redolent with honeysuckle. 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…
