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)

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…

Diving from the Comfort of your Chamber
You might be able to figure this one out from the title. I’m nothing if not helpful! Last week I spent part of the afternoon at the bottom of the sea. Well, in a sense. As part of a day long introduction to diving medicine at the DDRC in Plymouth (formely the Diving Disease Research…

Back in Hot(ish) Water
More heat pump stuff. Stay tuned for some truly hot takes, but first, something completely similar to previous posts… Another Project! I have been on the lookout for a suitable desk for Sarah’s sewing machines and craft equipment for a little while now. I was leaning towards buying an oak worktop and making it myself…

Lofty Ideals (Damn, I’ve already used that pun…)
After you’re writing a blog as long as I have been, you’re bound to rip off some of your own content, right? Loftiana Jones: The Attic of Doom It’s the loft sequel you’ve all been waiting for. Not all of you? Hmmm. Some of you? You may not have been holding your breath for this…
