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

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.

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…

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…
