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…

Games, Mixers, and Mountain Biking
This week marked the end of my geriatric medicine placement in the Ulster hospital, and after a grim group work session, I couldn’t be happier to see the back of it. I am a pretty tolerant person by most accounts but I have my limits, and there are some people that I cannot deal with…

Memories
Just like that, a whole month passed in no time at all. My brother left for Oregon with his wife and son this morning, and all is quiet again at home. This one’s for you guys! Last night was an opportunity to reminisce and look at old photos albums, comparing the new generation Douglas with the…
