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…

Still talking about London, and I’m in business!
I can’t believe London was over a week ago – time is flying by so quickly this summer. As usual, almost all of my time has been spent writing my thesis. It is starting to come together after many hours, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Back to London! I ended…

A Whirlwind London Adventure
I’m back, and exhausted. It was a busy few days in the capital, though a welcome break from the drudgery of thesis writing. The Pathology Summer School was the central reason for my visit, and was definitely worthwhile. The Summer School was held in the Royal College of Pathologists HQ, overlooking the Mall (the drive…
