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…

Christmas the Second
There has been shopping. Baking. DIYing. And the Muppet Christmas Carol. It must be Christmas Eve! Yes, we’ve reaching the big day, and though it won’t be the most momentous occasion this year (I’m looking at you, wedding!) I can’t help but love it. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Friends, family, food, drink.…

Christmas Eve(s)
I love cryptic titles. Why the potential for a plural, you might ask? This year, much like last year, I’m having a few different Christmas celebrations. We’re having a Northern Irish family Christmas celebration this weekend, and I’m celebrating standard Christmas with Sarah’s family. The last few months have flown by. August was dominated by…
