    Pumped Out – Further Delays

    Pumped Out – Further Delays

    The title not only refers to this delayed post but another setback in the British Gas air source heat pump saga. The workshop was cleared out. The walls stripped. The shed re-organised. The tent pitched and ready accomodate a good proportion of the contents of the house. What could go wrong? It was too good…

    Every Day I’m Travelling

    At least that’s what it feels like at the moment. I just got back from Brussels, had a week at home, then headed out to Paris for a week at Disneyland. A Big Old (New) Tent In preparation for our glorious British summer which always provides wall to wall sunshine, we’ve bought a tent. Not…

    Brussels 2: Electric Sproutaloo

    Brussels 2: Electric Sproutaloo

    My time in Brussels was brief but enjoyable. I managed to hit a few of the tourist spots and try some delicacies before making the long journey home again. The tenses are a little weird in this one as it was pieced together during a variety of Belgian experiences. Beer and an Omelette? Yes, you…

    Brussels Bound (and Movie Madness)

    Brussels Bound (and Movie Madness)

    Although I’m writing part of this on the way, by the time you read this I will be firmly established in the Belgian capital, enjoying the beer, chocolate, and sprouts. And whatever else Belgium has to offer. Eurostarting to get somewhere This is my first train journey into mainland Europe, and my first time abroad…

    Gardening in the Rain

    Gardening in the Rain

    Gotta plant! (Is that considered an esoteric reference these days?) The spring hasn’t quite sprung yet, as we experienced an abortive warm spell followed by cold and wet weather. The slugs are having an absolute bash, but I’m less impressed. Although it has dampened me, it hasn’t dampened my spirits. After getting a little fed…

    Return to Cardiff

    Return to Cardiff

    It has been a few years, but I ended up back in the Welsh capital doing a bit of exploration while my other half sat an arduous exam. At least the food was good! The Easter of 2019 was a fine one indeed. I organised a trip which ended up being a food tour of…

    It all Hinges on This (Concealed Hinge Puns Within)

    It all Hinges on This (Concealed Hinge Puns Within)

    Back to Plymouth, and you know what that means? Back to projects! As much as I enjoyed the single life in Sheffield, after a couple of weeks I was really starting to miss my family and home in general. Living out of a hotel starts to lose its novelty after a while and I was…

    Sheffield 2 (Electric-Shef-aloo?)

    Sheffield 2 (Electric-Shef-aloo?)

    The sequel to Sheffield sees me walking just about everywhere you can walk. City. Woodland. Countryside. Hills. Villages. Amazingly, this is all possible from this unique city. An Expected Journey Given the proximity to some of the best walking and climbing country in the UK, I thought it would be a shame not to get…

    Sheffield

    Sheffield

    I find myself about 300 miles from Ordinary Decent HQ for work. Welcome to Sheffield. Living out of a Premier Inn on “Ultimate WiFi” (maxing out at a whopping 3 Mbps), I’m in Sheffield for two weeks seeing post mortem CT scanning (PM-CT) in action. The journey was fraught and involved three trains on a…

    Striking Gold (and Strike Two)

    Striking Gold (and Strike Two)

    Negotiations over Pay Restoration for Junior Doctors have stalled, and it looks like we’re heading rapidly towards a second strike. Meanwhile I’ve been out and about in Cornwall, and working on the doors. Cornwall Gold and Tolgus Mill This week’s Monday adventure with Evie was down and around Truro, starting at Cornwall Gold. Located just…
