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…

Everything kicked off with production of the 2020 Newforge Studios Halloween film, “Horsham Horror”, starring Sarah and myself. Horsham Horror – The Making Of Most…

Apex Coping (and Legends)
Coping with Success After weeks of searching, I finally found them. If you’ve been following my recent exploits, you’ll be well acquainted with Coping-gate; the universe was out to get me and prevent the conclusion of my wall project. There has been a breakthrough. Not through the wall, but rather the availability of the coping…

Harvest and Homeworking
I have been off for the last few days on house arrest (study leave), spending hours staring at question after question from every possible source. My FRCPath Part 1 examination is on Wednesday and the cramming is full swing. Ordinarily cramming is not my style, but it’s hard to avoid when preparing for an examination…
