Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

2 Years and still going strong! (Sort of…)
Damn you Curse of Monkey Island! Old adventure games are an easy target, and one I’m using in particular to blame for not having anything written this evening. I did do other things today, including baking brownies and knitting, but no writing at all. It’s a shame, because today is the second anniversary of my…
