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

Kept you waiting, huh?
Exams are over and the Ordinary Decent Gamer is back in business. And what do you do to celebrate the end of a terrible month? You make pasta! Wait, no. That comes later. First, you leave the country as soon as you can and go as far away as you can afford to at that…
