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…

Sheffield 2 (Electric-Shef-aloo?)
The sequel to Sheffield sees me walking just about everywhere you can walk. City. Woodland. Countryside. Hills. Villages. Amazingly, this is all possible from this unique city. An Expected Journey Given the proximity to some of the best walking and climbing country in the UK, I thought it would be a shame not to get…

Sheffield
I find myself about 300 miles from Ordinary Decent HQ for work. Welcome to Sheffield. Living out of a Premier Inn on “Ultimate WiFi” (maxing out at a whopping 3 Mbps), I’m in Sheffield for two weeks seeing post mortem CT scanning (PM-CT) in action. The journey was fraught and involved three trains on a…
