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
I’m still plugging away at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (excellent DLC, by the way). Here’s what I’ve been up to otherwise. Garden Update The raised beds are showing various degrees of success. One bed is being slowly replaced by potatoes, and has a good crop of lettuce and radishes. A few of the beetroot and…

FDZ (Food, Drinks, and Zombies*)

The Reality of Business
The reality of running a small business is hard work. The amount of work I am putting into Newforge Rings in my spare time is far in excess of the financial rewards. The small amount of revenue I have generated to date has been used to buy coins, tools, and other consumables. My latest investment…

Newforge Rings and Tendon Springs
There I was after a marathon three and a half hours of ring making, casually washing a chopping board, when my thumb decided to try and kill me. Perhaps a tad dramatic, but it was somewhat terrifying, feeling your thumb snap closed beyond your control. I dropped the board and attempted to straighten it again.…
