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

  • 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 undead monster, not the drink. Hokum May is traditionally known as the most terrifying of months. Tempting us with near 20 degree heat, followed by a drop in temperature and torrential rain.

  • Hemingwrite and the Humble Mega Drive

    The Hemingwrite is here! (almost) Damn! There are so many things that I want but could never justify, and one of those things is the Hemingwrite I mentioned about in an earlier blog post. It’s a high-tech typewriter, combining a mechanical keyboard with an e-ink screen and not much else. As far as distraction-free writing…

  • The Market Adventure!

    Where is the time going?! I haven’t managed to get writing in a while, so here come the excuses… Business Stuff I have been ramping things up with Newforge Rings in the run up to Christmas, including my first market appearance at the Black Box on November 30th.
