Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

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…

It began when the plane landed in Heathrow, and I made my way onto the Underground. The modern, smooth-riding trains don’t have quite the same charm as the rickety-rackety old…

The Zoo (Condensed)
I’m picking up where I left off with the mortuary. An odd start to the day for most people, but I seem to gravitate towards weird situations. It was a beautiful day, sunny and in the mid-twenties – a stark contrast to the chill of the mortuary. The brief summer we get in this country…

First the morgue…then the zoo
This is getting bad. I was writing this post to address my problem with procrastination when it comes to the subject of writing, but I have successfully put it off for another week. I’ll try this again – see below for what I wanted to say last week: I should be writing non-stop over summer,…
