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…

The weedy specimens in the raised beds from a few weeks ago have become established, if not fully fledged,…

We have now cancelled the British Gas installation after they failed to price match Octopus Energy’s quote and because we didn’t trust them to deliver after letting us down on several occasions. The shape of the installation…

Pumped Out – Further Delays
The title not only refers to this delayed post but another setback in the British Gas air source heat pump saga. The workshop was cleared out. The walls stripped. The shed re-organised. The tent pitched and ready accomodate a good proportion of the contents of the house. What could go wrong? It was too good…
