    Elden Ring or “How to die with style”

    Elden Ring or “How to die with style”

    It compels me. Not the pursuit of the Elden shards, but the game itself… It is time for Elden Ring. I’m only three months late, but this game taken the world by storm and there’s no shortage of coverage this long after launch. It’s an incredibly expansive and compelling adventure of your own making. Want […]

    Escape to Sicily (Not quite…)

    Escape to Sicily (Not quite…)

    This will be a short one. I’ve run out of time today but will be back over the weekend for the real part two Sicily post. Ah, Sicily. It has only been a week since we were there, and I’m already missing it. To recreate a little of the holiday, I made rigatoni alla Norma […]

    Escape to Sicily (Parte Prima)

    Escape to Sicily (Parte Prima)

    I did specify that my next post would be written with an Aperol spritz in hand, but we’ll have to settle for a glass of Vena Aetna rose wine instead. Yes, I’m writing from the balcony of our hotel in sunny Taormina, Sicily, overlooking the azure blue sea and scenic cliff top resorts. It has […]

    What’s Sicilian for excuse?

    This will be an extremely short one. I’ve prepared another lengthier post about our Sicilian excursion, but there’s no WiFi in our hotel room and my mobile internet is patchy as best. And to top it off, the tablet keyboard started playing up and typing eeeeeeeee, which is fine if you’re trying to convey excitement […]

    The Exam (no spoilers)

    The Exam (no spoilers)

    Like conquistador Francisco Pizarro in the Royal Hunt of the Sun, I witnessed a failed resurrection. What do you do when your beliefs are shattered? You go shopping for new ones! A new week brings a new washing machine, complete with a jaunty tune marking the end of a cycle. The Beko is dead. Long […]

    Rage Against the (Washing) Machine

    Rage Against the (Washing) Machine

    First came the death on Good Friday, followed by resurrection on Easter Sunday. This time though, the death was of our previously trusty washing machine and the (almost) resurrection took place on the day that will be forever known as Almost Easter Wednesday. After a great start to the Easter weekend with a session of […]

    Déjà vu and The Exam

    Déjà vu and The Exam

    This is a little bit of a non-update. Not a whole lot has happened over the last week, and The Exam is creeping ever closer. In Good Spirits The spirit collection is ever growing, although I never made an effort to organise it in any way. A few nice bottles were prominently displayed, and some […]

    Are you Board yet?

    Are you Board yet?

    A week of yet more exam preparation while embracing the whiteboard life. Time to get organised! VanMoof-ing Nowhere? That subtitle is a little bit of an exaggeration, although it serves to illustrate the continuing issues with my VanMoof S3. It has completely changed the way I get to work for the better, and saved me […]

    A Wild Cat Chase

    A Wild Cat Chase

    …and other quests. This is just a quick update for the week. If you’re a Haruki Murakami fan, you’ll appreciate the title. Our wild cat chase was fruitless as the name suggests, but we haven’t given up. The weather has been beautiful. No, that’s not a mistake. It is March in Plymouth, and we’ve had […]
