Are you Board yet?
A week of yet more exam preparation while embracing the whiteboard life. Time to get organised! VanMoof-ing Nowhere? That subtitle is a little bit of an exaggeration, although it serves to illustrate the continuing issues with my VanMoof S3. It has completely changed the way I get to work for the better, and saved me…

A Wild Cat Chase
…and other quests. This is just a quick update for the week. If you’re a Haruki Murakami fan, you’ll appreciate the title. Our wild cat chase was fruitless as the name suggests, but we haven’t given up. The weather has been beautiful. No, that’s not a mistake. It is March in Plymouth, and we’ve had…

VanMoof-ing On Up
A recent change in traffic in Plymouth has led me to embrace a completely different way to get around. My normal week involves three days of car commuting as I bring my daughter to nursery on those days, and two days on the bike. The city has recently undertaken some major work around the hospital…

Taking the Pisco – Ordinary Decent Spirit
This one is a bit different. One of my many interests involves the fermentation of sugars in a variety of ways to produce delicious and refreshing beverages. Alcohol, of course! And what better time to talk about alcohol than St Patrick’s Day. Recently I’ve been listening to Neat! The Boozecast with Teylor Smirl discussing the…

The blog has been undergoing some changes recently, vaguely hinted at in this block of text.

Izakaya By Name…
…izakaya by nature. It’s a mini travel blog incorporating all of your favourite things: food, Japan and impulse buying! Don’t worry though, I have been playing more Hollow Knight, Mortal Shell (where you control a different kind of hollow knight), and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Fewer games have been played in the run up to the…

Saws, Storms and Stills
A lot can happen in a month, and yet in the blink of an eye it’s over. Pretentious and shallow statement, yes, but nevertheless it is true. We’re well into February and my exam is creeping ever closer. Does that mean all my time has been consumed by preparation? Thankfully, no. I have had a…

Panettone Redux
Time really does seem to fly in this weird early part of the year. We’ve settled back into work and our usual routines of getting up far too early without neglecting the enjoyable parts of life entirely. Shadow of War…dor? After many hours our time in Shadow of War is drawing to a close. There…

Post Christmas Dissection
Clearing away the Christmas debris, I’m back at my desk for another festive post. Also there will be pictures of turkey preparation in this post, so if you’re bothered by that sort of thing then this may be one to miss. Christmas Day has come and gone, and I’m still getting over the post-dinner coma.…

It’s Christmas Eve for Certain
Another year, another furious week of shopping, cooking, baking, saucing and wrapping. Is this supposed to be relaxing? It has begun… Yes, in the words of the immortal Fozziwig (from the Muppet Christmas Carol fame), it’s Christmas Eve for certain. The food shopping is over and the real preparations have just begun. My enduring memory…
