Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

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…

Breaking my own Copyright: Mother’s Day at Lismaine Cottage
This a a shameless re-post of a blog I wrote for Lismaine Cottage, my parents bed and breakfast establishment, on Mothering Sunday. The reason I want to share it is not just that it gives me something easy to post, but the cake was so damn good. This cake was certainly not a lie. Enjoy!…

The Satellite Saga: Phase 1
I’m off to England to reside for the minimum amount of time to allow us to give notice to marry. Apparently the registry office resides in the dark ages, and being a citizen of the United Kingdom isn’t quite enough to get married there. I’ve just finished a set of nights, and another project. The…
