If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

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. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

I’ve started back to my final year of medicine gently, with an introduction week followed by a week off for self directed learning. This is far to early to be in the right mindset for…

Toodaloo Temples, and So Long Siem Reap
I’m running a little bit behind on writing! I’m back in Northern Ireland, in the cold and wet. Back to fleeces and jeans, and monsoon-proof raincoats. Back to porridge. No more sushi. No more kimchi. No more laksa. I miss Asia already. These posts are going to be completely out of order, as I’m just…

The Rocky Road to Siem Reap
I’ve stayed in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Seoul, Hong Kong, Phnom Penh, and now I’m in Siem Reap. So much has happened in a relatively short period of time and I’m having a hard time keeping up with it. I had a long bus journey to get here so I had the chance to make…
