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…

Escape to Sicily (Parte Prima)
I did specify that my next post would be written with an Aperol spritz in hand, but we’ll have to settle for a glass of Vena Aetna rose wine instead. Yes, I’m writing from the balcony of our hotel in sunny Taormina, Sicily, overlooking the azure blue sea and scenic cliff top resorts. It has…

What’s Sicilian for excuse?
This will be an extremely short one. I’ve prepared another lengthier post about our Sicilian excursion, but there’s no WiFi in our hotel room and my mobile internet is patchy as best. And to top it off, the tablet keyboard started playing up and typing eeeeeeeee, which is fine if you’re trying to convey excitement…
