Between a Saw and a Hard Place (Ordinary Decent Office)
Not somewhere you’d like to be, as I found out to my detriment, and testament to taking your time and doing a job right the first time. You won’t be overly surprised to hear there’s more DIY in this post. The work on the office continues in earnest. I left off the last episode with…

Ordinary Decent Shelving
The office saga continues… I spent much too long poking around in the ceiling this week. Enough time to warrant buying an endoscope to see what the hell was going on. Picking up from where we left off last week, I was working on the network aspect of the office project. WiFi is fine, but…

Rampant Inflation (in the Garden)
The economy may be in decline, but our garden is exploding! This will be a short one, with a longer post to follow. The raised beds are completely bursting with life.

VanMoof-ing Again? (X3 Edition)
We’ll be starting the family cycle commute from next week, and what do you need for a cycle commute? You guessed it… I have written about my trials and tribulations involving my VanMoof S3 a few times but since the return-to-base repair, it has been dependable.
