Twokyo – Part 3 – Japan 2019
Part 3 in the Japan 2019 series. Part 2 is here. I’ve been away at a conference and we’re in the midst of trying to buy a house, so I’m a bit busy, but it’s time to pick up where we left off. Calm down, it’s not what you’re thinking. We didn’t eat puppies, and…

Touring Tokyo – Part 2 – Japan 2019
Part 2 in my Japan 2019 series. If you’ve missed the first part, you can catch up here. The excitement of making it to Tokyo was dampened by a lengthy immigration queue. This is one of few seemingly inefficient processes in Japan. It took a long time back in 2015, and four years later it…

Hair of the Dog that Bitte – Part 1 – Japan 2019
Taking inspiration from a good friend, and combined with my need to pun from time to time, I hope you enjoy the title. Our journey begins in the early hours of the 18th of May, driving down a deserted motorway (not really, but this adds to the drama) to the not-so-London Heathrow airport. Yes, this…

Gardening: Endgame (but enough about Avengers)
The weekend has been a busy one. Football, films, and fun in the garden. Well, perhaps manual labour is a better descriptor but at least we’re making progress. Ordinary Decent Garden Update The tree stump bed is ever expanding, a necessity to accommodate the wild flowers and other additions from the garden centre today, and…

Easter – Food, Games and Japlanning
Greetings. I’m writing part of this post on my epic train journey from Cardiff to Truro, looking out on the tumultuous sea, and enjoying a glass of the moving-house white. A Sicilian pinot grigio, served from a plastic cup. The faux leather lap of luxury. The last month has been a blur, and an emotional…

Ordinary Decent…Ads?
First off, it’s time to clear something up. I do not earn anything from advertisements on this site. I wasn’t even aware of ads showing up on the site until a friend pointed them out. While I’m logged in as an administrator of the blog, I’m spared from the advertisements. I have no idea what…

Ordinary Decent Gardener
Ordinary Decent Gardener This was not a weekend for gaming. I haven’t exactly been slacking recently in that department having completed Titanfall 2 while studying for my histopathology OSPE. This time I had my eyes set on a different prize. I started digging a bed in Sarah’s parents’ garden a few weeks ago, not fully…

Ordinary Decent Gamer Returns…again
This post marks the end of the unofficial hiatus. I had an exam on Monday, so everything was dropped while I hit the books. Or perhaps more accurately, the RCPath cancer datasets. For those of you not pathologically acquainted, the datasets are essentially manuals explaining how to handle specimens from all the main cancer types,…

It’s Valen-time for Another Post
Valentine’s Day has come and gone for another year, and I spent it in the company of Adobe Premiere Pro, and an old friend. I am of course referring to Jessica 17, a film which was rivalling Duke Nukem Forever in the category of time spent as vapourware. The Story of a Troubled Teen Jessica…

Dinosaurs and Pathology: Dinopathy?
Dino Crisis Welcome back, folks. This week marked the release of Dino Crisis Revival, the latest Ordinary Decent Gamer video. Special thanks to Calum for the dinosaur voice over (check out his SoundCloud) and to Sarah for many funny ideas, and a critical eye. I’ve got a certain fondness for Dino Crisis, having watched it…
