On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

Gardening and a (It’ll be) Grand Tour
I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)
*The undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain. What better way to celebrate the season than with a horror film! Hokum stars Adam Scott as a self-loathing asshole of a…

I have reasons! First, it’s a project I can work on without having to leave the house. Second, I was able to acquire a…

A Simpler Time (Sort of)

Bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants, gyms, cinemas, cafés, concerts, events, conferences closed or cancelled. In what would be a hugely important year for Plymouth, the 400th year anniversary of the sailing…

Things Change: Coronavirus the Pandemic
*Takes off novelty ears and puts on pathology hat* Things change rather quickly, it seems. I wrote my last post eleven days ago. I’ve never seen a situation evolve as quickly as this. Almost 140,000 novel coronavirus cases and over 5,000 deaths globally. It’s a officially a pandemic. (though we pretty much knew that already,…

Destination Disney (and musings on coronavirus)
Traveling is becoming more fraught in the peri-pandemic days of coronavirus. Italy has seen the most impact of COVID-19 (the clinical syndrome caused by the novel coronavirus) in Europe to date, though cases have reached the UK and Republic of Ireland. More people were at the airport than I had expected, and it was business…
