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…

A Millenial Says What?
Disclaimer: these are fictional statements and any resemblance to overheard conversation on public transport is unintentional. No, really. Or, the “it’s so stereotypical it’s painful” bus conversations in liberal America. Millenial is often trotted out as a derogatory label, which I resent, being part of the contrived generation myself. However, some individuals are so painfully…

Treehouse to Bullet Train
The unseasonably warm weather continues, and the office USB fans are struggling to keep the temperature to a manageable level. It’s time for some projects in the shade. When we bought our house, it wasn’t the only dwelling on the land. We inherited a treehouse built for the previous owner’s grandchildren. Given our distinct lack…
