C&C (Cars and Coals)
What do you do when you need a break? Spend five hours driving to Manchester, of course! Yes, that is the kind of logic I employ. It’s a day away from work, to go to a work-related meeting, but a day away from the grind is more than welcomed. Driving the Polestar 2 a couple…

Almost Alone – a Newforge Halloween Production
Happy (belated) Halloween! I’ve been a bit busy… The past week was action packed, and included the released of “Almost Alone”, the 2025 Newforge Studios Halloween film. I talked about making the film in my last post. This year was very organised (perhaps not quite as ruthlessly efficient as last year, but close) with only…

Spooky Season
Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood Spooky season is fast approaching, and with it comes the annual tradition. One that has been long observed. A tradition steeped in Irish history. A time when everyone gets together for a laugh or two. A few folks dress up. Some spooky happenings may, or…

Gaming…shouldn’t you be baking?
I have sat down to write about gaming, and write about gaming I shall. I engage with gaming in waves. From time to time I’ll get really into a title, for example Death Stranding 2, and play it for hours in the limited free time I’ve got. Then I might start a few smaller titles…

Autumn and Apples, Barbecue and Baking
October. Apples. Cinnamon. Bonfires. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Barbecues. Wait, wait? ABBQ (the extra A is for Autumnal…) Yes, I have gone a little mad. And yes, I have embraced the “all year” kamado cooking philosophy. I bought a pork shoulder and some beef brisket to smoke in my ongoing exploration of all things kamado. I…

Le Weekend
A quick weekend update. Game update to follow. Cheers We have had two dodgy batches of easy peeler oranges from Tesco in recent days. They look and feel perfectly fine until peeled, then they rear their sorry-looking, dehydrated segments. Compost, then? Nope. When life gives you crappy oranges, juice them. Today they have gone into…

Just Keep Digging (and Mixing)
Or should that be shovelling? We left off last time with a hole in the garden. It was a deliberately shaped hole, but a hole nevertheless. Almost a tonne of topsoil. And what do you do with a hole in the garden? Fill it in, of course. The first step was a layer of sand…

Grass, Gardens, and Great Heights
The rain continues, but it has failed to (completely) dampen our spirits The deluge continues. The rain has been non-stop since the end of August. Well, that’s not entirely true. It has been start-stop. Showers followed by sunny intervals, but often of unpredictable lengths. It has made outdoor activities next to impossible to plan. There’s…

Death Stranding (2) and Dead Hard Drives
Even more strandier? Even more beachier? The expansion of the chiral network brought a whole load of quality of life improvements. Death Stranding 2: First Impressions I’ll admit I dismissed Death Stranding unfairly the first time I played it. After a few awkward and uncomfortable journeys heaped on an incomprehensible plot, I drifted away from…

The Curse of Heathers
Heather, Heather, Heather….and some curse This is a bit left field, but one of our latest obsessions is the 1988 black comedy high school crime flick and the subsequent 2010s musical iteration. The musical is by far the superior version with some incredibly catchy songs, but the film throws up an interesting series of occurences.…
