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

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes.

A Sicilian pinot grigio, served from a plastic cup. The faux leather lap of luxury. The last month has been a blur, and an emotional…

  • Ordinary Decent…Ads?

    First off, it’s time to clear something up. I do not earn anything from advertisements on this site. I wasn’t even aware of ads showing up on the site until a friend pointed them out. While I’m logged in as an administrator of the blog, I’m spared from the advertisements. I have no idea what…

  • Ordinary Decent Gardener

    Ordinary Decent Gardener This was not a weekend for gaming. I haven’t exactly been slacking recently in that department having completed Titanfall 2 while studying for my histopathology OSPE. This time I had my eyes set on a different prize. I started digging a bed in Sarah’s parents’ garden a few weeks ago, not fully…
