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.

Return to the Office
I’ve been back working in the office after a little break. Things are starting to come together, although there’s a bit of work left to do. This project is the gift that keeps on giving. 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…
