If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • On the Road Again

    The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

  • Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour

    I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

  • FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)

    *The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

I’ve had to fit plasterboard, patch plaster, strip wallpaper, test wiring, paint, cut and prepare wood for shelving. I considered…

  • Evil Under the Sea Tractor

    The past week hasn’t involved as many projects, but we did get a trip out to Bigbury-on-Sea with the requisite walk over to Burgh Island. The post title is a little esoteric, but read on if you wish to be enlightened. We’ve made it to September and the days of 30 degree heat are over…

  • DI-Why? Because I want to

    I’ve been back in the groove recently, and have a grim sort of determination to get this office together. It will be done in Plymouth as it is online… Like almost every job I undertake, this one spiralled out of control. What began with me tearing out the bookcases in the spare room resulted in…
