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…

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…

Busy Times in Horsham High
I have been flat out entertaining and getting the house ready for the impending heat pump installation, hence the delay in this one. Cheese…and cake? 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…
