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…

And to top it off, the tablet keyboard started playing up and typing eeeeeeeee, which is fine if you’re trying to convey excitement…

The Exam (no spoilers)
Like conquistador Francisco Pizarro in the Royal Hunt of the Sun, I witnessed a failed resurrection. What do you do when your beliefs are shattered? You go shopping for new ones! A new week brings a new washing machine, complete with a jaunty tune marking the end of a cycle. The Beko is dead. Long…

Rage Against the (Washing) Machine
First came the death on Good Friday, followed by resurrection on Easter Sunday. This time though, the death was of our previously trusty washing machine and the (almost) resurrection took place on the day that will be forever known as Almost Easter Wednesday. After a great start to the Easter weekend with a session of…
