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

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. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

After a great start to the Easter weekend with a session of…

Déjà vu and The Exam
This is a little bit of a non-update. Not a whole lot has happened over the last week, and The Exam is creeping ever closer. In Good Spirits The spirit collection is ever growing, although I never made an effort to organise it in any way. A few nice bottles were prominently displayed, and some…

Are you Board yet?
A week of yet more exam preparation while embracing the whiteboard life. Time to get organised! VanMoof-ing Nowhere? That subtitle is a little bit of an exaggeration, although it serves to illustrate the continuing issues with my VanMoof S3. It has completely changed the way I get to work for the better, and saved me…

A Wild Cat Chase
…and other quests. This is just a quick update for the week. If you’re a Haruki Murakami fan, you’ll appreciate the title. Our wild cat chase was fruitless as the name suggests, but we haven’t given up. The weather has been beautiful. No, that’s not a mistake. It is March in Plymouth, and we’ve had…
