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.

Cambodia Bound…Again
After an early start and a drive to Dublin, we ended up at the airport around 4.15 am. Avoid 4.15 am if at all possible – it is much to early to be pleasant. Adrenaline kept us going, and the promise of having our bags checked all the way through to Siem Reap. The first…

Summer Gaming, and Travel
As my fingers glide over the keys of my IBM Model M keyboard, producing that oh-so familiar clack-clack thanks to the buckling spring, I can’t help but feel at home with my humble writing setup. My desktop computer has finally made it to Belfast, along with my old BenQ monitor. The kitchen table has become…
