PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)
Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

A Few Good Days
Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple
While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

Baking, Gardening, Gaming
Life in lockdown continues. It was an excellent time to start cycling as the roads were much quieter, but as more people return to work a sense of normality is returning to the roads. It’s a good excuse to get outside for some regular exercise. Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus is complete,…

G&G (Gardening and Gaming)
Busy times in isolation. I have been outside for most of the last few weeks preparing the garden for the summer ahead. The weather has been great recently and the jobs never stop. I planted the raised beds using square foot gardening, a simple approach particularly for the simple-minded gardeners out there (like me!). It…
