  • 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*)

Yes, we’ve reaching the big day, and though it won’t be the most momentous occasion this year (I’m looking at you, wedding!) I can’t help but love it. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Friends, family, food, drink.…

  • Christmas Eve(s)

    I love cryptic titles. Why the potential for a plural, you might ask? This year, much like last year, I’m having a few different Christmas celebrations. We’re having a Northern Irish family Christmas celebration this weekend, and I’m celebrating standard Christmas with Sarah’s family. The last few months have flown by. August was dominated by…
