Gearing up for Christmas (a very PS5-y post)
Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town, every single person was shopping, even the grouse. I love Christmas. I do not love crowds. It’s pretty hard to avoid the masses this time of year when town is packed from the end of November through Christmas Eve. It’s part of the reason I…

Thoughts on a Train
A service of light humour will be available in this post. It’s apt to be more reliable than the train… I am feeling inspired. Inspired enough to kill some time on the journey back from London to Plymouth. Three and a half hours is nothing to sniff at and one needs distractions while travelling in…

Gohan ご飯. It’s not just Rice (Asia 2023 Part 3)
Gohan ご飯 refers to cooked rice, but in a broader sense it can mean food or any meal. And broadly speaking, this installment in the series is all about food encountered in Japan and Korea. I have been a fan of Japanese cuisine ever since trying sushi made by my brother many years ago. He…

Two’s Company (When you’re building a shed)
Are you tired of lifting heavy e-bikes out of your house every day and wheeling them round the house? Wish they were taking up less room? Think Asgard! Nope, not quite the home of Odin but still formidable… We’ve been annoyed by moving bikes around our conservatory for the last couple of years. With the…

Driving Miss Evie (Asia 2023 Part 2)
It has been an exhausting transition back from holiday mode to work. It hasn’t been helped by the eight hour time difference and illness brewing in the background. I’m picking up from where I left off last time. We’re in a rental car office in Naha, Okinawa on a beautifully sunny day… After a couple…

The Halloween 2023 Filmmaking Challenge
This year was different from other years. Yes we were travelling again, but the Halloween film for 2023 was in pre-pre-production when we left. It was so pre-production, it wasn’t really even an idea. Newforge Studios Every year (almost) we have put together a short film for Halloween under the Newforge Studios name. This started…

Jiving in Japan, and Cramming in Korea (Asia 2023 Part 1)
Travel time! We hopped on a plane at Heathrow and sped off on our autumnal getaway. Twelve hours and two meals later we landed in Seoul. Well, Incheon to be exact. The airport island. Isaac Toast – A Religious Experience Our trip started with an overnight in Unseo, close to Incheon international airport. We stayed…

Workshops and Hedgehogs
DIY, ice cream, and more! Advanced Workshop Repair It’s not terribly advanced in reality, but more cobbled together from a variety of bits of wood laying around. There was a removable top over the sink in the workshop when we bought the house. It was fine for a temporary measure, but not that secure when…

Games, Gourds, and Gameras?
Here’s a squash. It’s quite big… Cyberpunk 2077: The plot thickens… On loading the Cyberpunk 2077 disc into my PS4, I was faced with an expected update notice. Was this the revolutionary 2.0 version? Nope. The PS4 version made it to 1.6, but that’s where the developers (CD Projekt Red) have bowed out. The PS4…

Autumn and Apples
I’ve been feeling autumnal, and what better way to celebrate than a drink! The Autumn Fruit Harvest If I call it a harvest, maybe it will distract from the fact there is only one apple. The cordon is only a couple of years old at this time so not quite at fruiting maturity. All of…
