Cordon Vert? (See what I did there?)
My first MagicMirror is practically complete, though I’ve had a few hiccups along the way. This post is going to concentrate on what’s happening around the garden, and I’ll be back with another mirror update soon. Cordon Vert? The goal: make the garden as productive as possible by cramming in fruit trees to every possible…

Magic Mirror on the Wall…
…what’s the weather like in Plymouth? Gaming I had a glorious week off work to cram in lots of fun. We finished the Claire playthrough of Resident Evil 2 (much faster now that there wasn’t a year long hiatus), and even resurrected Oblivion. As much as I loved the fourth iteration of the Elder Scrolls,…

Life on the Shelf
I have been trying to sit down and write about Christmas, but it just isn’t happening. A tiny 4 kg black hole has opened in our lives which absorbs all time, energy, and effort. Not only that, but another lockdown has arrived limiting the amount of exciting things we could do. Enough waffling, let’s get…

Babies and Babka
First off, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I haven’t had a chance to write in a little while as I’ve been a tad preoccupied with other things. We’ve just been joined by a tiny squatter who is taking up all of our time and hogging the PlayStation, but she is quite cute. Charged…

Feeling Halloween-y? Filmmaking and more
After an atrocious start to the spooky festivities with Hubie Halloween (why, Adam?!) we had a rather smashing time. No pumpkins were harmed (unfortunately), but plenty of fun was had. Everything kicked off with production of the 2020 Newforge Studios Halloween film, “Horsham Horror”, starring Sarah and myself. Horsham Horror – The Making Of Most…

Apex Coping (and Legends)
Coping with Success After weeks of searching, I finally found them. If you’ve been following my recent exploits, you’ll be well acquainted with Coping-gate; the universe was out to get me and prevent the conclusion of my wall project. There has been a breakthrough. Not through the wall, but rather the availability of the coping…

Harvest and Homeworking
I have been off for the last few days on house arrest (study leave), spending hours staring at question after question from every possible source. My FRCPath Part 1 examination is on Wednesday and the cramming is full swing. Ordinarily cramming is not my style, but it’s hard to avoid when preparing for an examination…

How to Train Your Cordon
And just like that, summer was over. We had a brief reprieve with sunny weather the last few weeks, but thunderstorms and torrential rain have made frequent appearances. The garden hasn’t suffered the weather particularly well – all of my tomato plants died off suddenly and unexpectedly following a particularly windy and damp spell. I…

Build That (Garden) Wall and Back in the Workshop
I am an excellent procrastinator. I hold modesty as a virtue the majority of the time, but when it comes to procrastination, I’m up there with the greats. I can achieve anything as long as it’s unrelated to the thing I’m currently trying to achieve. Procrastination is the force that has been keeping me from…

(re) Exploring Plymouth
It’s a Saturday, so how better to spend the day than getting up at the crack of dawn to get your car serviced and MOT’d. Yes, it was an early start today thanks to a general lack of choice in appointment times, but I shall not squander the opportunity to get out of the house…
