Projects and Procrastination (PnP)
I have been underground studying for my FRCPath Part 1 exam, which naturally means I’ve been working on a number of different projects. And heads up, I’ve got a few Amazon affiliate links in here if you fancy buying something to support the site. The list of jobs for the house is never ending. None…

Shrewsbury…more of cats than shrews
No shrews here, but plenty of cats… We spent the weekend in Shropshire with my sister and her husband. An experience in Salop, with two Salopians – the old name for Shropshire. Claire had arranged for a surprise visit to a certain café that would be more at home in Tokyo than the midlands. We’ve…

The Finishing Touches
Putting the finishing touches on our latest furniture project – a pair of vintage beside tables. That is, when we’re not playing the Witcher 3 or Nioh. Choosing the fittings for the beside tables was tough. After a lot of deliberation, we got a handle on the situation. Apologies for the poor pun, but I…

Projects…and a cat
The work never stops. Particularly when you keep making work for yourself. I’ve been playing more of the Witcher 3, and been beaten to a pulp by Nioh, but back to reality with a cat. Sitting on the corner sofa (minor dream/life aspiration), beside our adopted cat (Annie) curled up in a ball, and contemplating…

Let Merriment Abound!
Merry Christmas, everyone! By now, you’ve almost certainly eaten and drunk too much. This morning is a brief reprieve before the leftovers come out. Traditionally, we had a second Christmas dinner on boxing day using up most of the trimmings from the previous day, and making another dent in the turkey. Not even the twelve…

Writing Back for Christmas
Sing the title and you might get it. One of my late grandfather’s least favourite Christmas songs. I am writing whilst basking in the radiance of my own fireplace. A gas fire was never on my wish list, but when it’s as cool as this one I can make an exception. Yes, we took the…

Car Fun – Fitting an Android Radio
Operation “New Car Radio” is go! Since getting the Skoda Fabia from my parents (it was previously my grandfather’s) the radio has bothered me. It’s fine and all, but being stuck with a very limited selection of FM radio stations (during what can be a protracted commute) was driving me a bit mad. Caution, any…

Kerama Blue and Aka Island – Japan 2019 – Part 6
Part 6 of Japan 2019. If you need to catch up, Part 5 is here. Apologies for the hiatus! It has been a busy few months, between trying to buy a house in Plymouth, moving to a new city and starting a new job. Now it’s time to get back to the non-day job. Packed…

OkinaWOW – Japan 2019 – Part 5
Part 5 in the Japan 2019 series. Part 4 is here. I hadn’t quite anticipated being out the night before out 5 o’clock start. Narita airport isn’t exactly close, hence we were on the airport train at 6am. We were flying with Jetstar, a low cost airline, but because we were taking hold luggage we got…

Shibuya and Shabu Shabu – Part 4 – Japan 2019
Part 4 in the Japan 2019 series. Part 3 is here. Like so many places in Japan, Shibuya crossing is unique. Two thousand five hundred pedestrians crossing with each signal change at rush hour. A crazed mass of people moving in every direction. It’s a tad overwhelming. Just pick a point and keep walking towards it. After…
