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…

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…

In Hot Water (Cylinder), and Plants
Heat wave? Rain storm? What’s going on?! The weather has been weird recently. It’s either torrential rain and flash flooding, or tree-splitting sun and blue skies. Summer is going out with a bang. We’ve spent the last week hanging out with family and friends As a follow-up to the last conservatory DIY post, I’ve finished…

Food, Drinks, and Fireworks
Time for something completely different. Ish. Different-ish. Different dish? Bobotie and Burgers It has been a while since I’ve covered food but I’m back with a few recent gems. We had a trip down to Falmouth only to be faced with Pendennis castle overrun by pirates. Summer traffic made traversing Cornwall a bit of a…

Cupboards and Conservatories (And a Bit of Broadband)
It has been a busy week around here with a few trips and plenty of ongoing projects. Airing Cupboard/Hot Press* *Neither is particularly a accurate name… I am in the process of reassembling the airing cupboard/hot press (take your pick) and tried to do so in the most straightforward way – cutting bits of plasterboard…

Heat Pump, Take Three (Part Two)
And it’s in. Time for the ever after… We’ve had our Daikin Altherma air source heat pump in for about a week now, and so far it seems to be functional. We haven’t had much of a chance to test it given that we are in the middle of summer and the room temperature barely…

Heat Pump, Take Three
Radiators filled. System pressurised. And action! It was almost destined not to happen, but after months of pain, disruption, and switching companies, the air source heat pump (ASHP for those in the know, or if you want to be pretentious) installation is finally happening. Octopus Energy is the force behind it, and they have been…
