  • 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…

Hello there, my name is Deoxymoron (are pseudonyms still in? If not, just call me Seamus, everyone else does, except my…

  • A New Chapter

    Hello. How ’bout that last post? You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when I met Seamus in the lab and heard his Metal Gear Solid exclamation message tone, I knew he was one…
