A New Normal
Full disclosure: I’ve chucked in a few affiliate links for Amazon for things that I’ve bought over the last few weeks. If you so choose to click through, I may earn a small amount from the sale, but in no way feel like you have to. It’s just something I’m experimenting with to cover WordPress…

Storms and Shenmue
Another lockdown update, as the country slowly re-opens and establishes a new “normal”. More baking, gaming and DIY. The weather hasn’t been encouraging for gardening. Shenmue 3 I ended the last post on a pessimistic note about Shenmue 3. It felt dated, clumsy, graphically disappointing and carried on the tradition of abysmal voice acting. It’s…

Sun, Scones and (s)Upcycling
Full disclosure: I’ve got an Amazon affiliate link to drawer handles later in the post. Feel free to click and buy, or not. It helps cover the costs of domain registration and keeps the blog ad free. That’s a shoe-horned title if ever there was one, but it captures the gist of the weekend. Baking…

Baking, Gardening, Gaming
Life in lockdown continues. It was an excellent time to start cycling as the roads were much quieter, but as more people return to work a sense of normality is returning to the roads. It’s a good excuse to get outside for some regular exercise. Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus is complete,…

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…

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…

Food Rebel – Ramen at Bia Rebel
I’m back in business, once again. My Dell Inspiron 7000 Gaming is making the long trip to Germany via UPS to have a pesky power cutting problem fixed (hopefully). I spent the evening resurrecting my Dell Studio XPS 16 with Windows 10, and finally got round to writing this post. Time for a food adventure,…

Breaking my own Copyright: Mother’s Day at Lismaine Cottage
This a a shameless re-post of a blog I wrote for Lismaine Cottage, my parents bed and breakfast establishment, on Mothering Sunday. The reason I want to share it is not just that it gives me something easy to post, but the cake was so damn good. This cake was certainly not a lie. Enjoy!…

An Alternative Christmas
Christmas has been and gone for another year, but there’s still time for…Christmas? Yes, we had our Christmas dinner on Friday the 22nd of December as I’m visiting Sarah in England from the 23rd to the 26th. I spend the past week working nights, and was struck down with a bad case of the cold…

An Unusual Cup of Coffee
My new job has well and truly started, but I wasn’t exactly thrown in. There were two full days of induction which gave me no indication of what my day job was going to be. But it did mean I got out early on both days. I was walking back to the bus station on…
