Under Pressure
Polestar 2 tyre challenges My understanding of cars is pretty limited. I have done bits and pieces with electrics before including fitting stereo and reversing camera on my Skoda Fabia, but problem solving is normally best left to someone else in my experience. It’s not that I can’t do it, but it’s another thing to…

Cooking with Clair (Obscur Reference)
Or should that be “esoteric” reference. I’ll let you be the judge. After a raft of insane battles, we have reached the epilogue of Clair Obscur. This has been one of my favourite games of recent times, and I’m not generally into Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat. That is a testament to just how compelling the…

New Year, New(ish) Games

Illness and poor weather conditions have stopped me from diving in the

A few short weeks ago I was looking out at a rain-drenched hodge-podge. Things have changed a tad. It has been weeks in the making and there’s still some landscaping work to do on the patio, but the frame is finally ready to use. The woodchips are laid to a depth of about 20cm providing

Building Frames, Breaking Earth, and Barbecue
The last couple of weeks have been dominated by the delivery of our Growplay climbing frame. Building it was easy. Sorting the play area is another matter… My plan to have all the ground work done before building the frame didn’t quite happen. The frame components arrived last Friday, but the sleepers and stones were

Garden Clearing and Good Food
The weather has been…interesting, as of late. Getting stuff done outside has been a challenge but thankfully the weekend brought sunshine. The latest project involves building a big play area which will replace most of the old patio. If you remember from last year, I lifted a lot of the slabs to build the base
