Isle Trotting
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. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

We did it…and more. The NICHS Step Up Cycle
On Wednesday evening, Dad told me about the 70 km Step Up Cycle for NI Chest Heart and Stroke, and that he was thinking about competing. Nice idea, I thought, but then he asked me if I would be interested in doing it. Not a chance. I would love to be able to, but cycling…

Back in Black (Lycra)
The Ordinary Decent Gamer is back! It has been a while, but I’m back in business with a brief update. I’ve settled into the daily doctorial grind, and with it comes the dreaded commute. Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the dark mornings isn’t something that interests me. Good thing I skipped cars altogether…

Siem Reap: Temple Hopping and Haggling
Our last full day in Siem Reap was an action packed one. Sister Srey cafe had become our breakfast place of choice – I went for the stuffed french toast with cream cheese and tomato chutney, and pineapple and mango over ice. The food was excellent as usual, and the staff were marvelling over Alan…
