PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)
Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

A Few Good Days
Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple

Travelled to four countries (Scotland, Netherlands, Belgium, USA). Taken six flights. Five rail trips. Countless bus journeys. Traversed two states by long distance rail (California to Oregon).…

Changing (Bath)Rooms
This past week included a partial bathroom demolition, all part of the legacy of a the previous owner of our house. When replacing your bathroom flooring is like running an archaeological dig, you know something has gone wrong. You can date the flooring by the layers. Plywood, followed by tile adhesive, followed by tiles. Yup,…

ABBQ
The extra “A” stands for the Aldi Kamado BBBQ. The extra “B”? That’s a typo… (Is that an esoteric reference? Real Simpsons fans think otherwise) Kamado Karl? Like pretty much everything we use in day to day life (paper, printing, gunpowder…) the kamado ceramic BBQ has its origin in ancient China. That stove eventually made…
