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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

G&G (Gardening and Gaming)
Busy times in isolation. I have been outside for most of the last few weeks preparing the garden for the summer ahead. The weather has been great recently and the jobs never stop. I planted the raised beds using square foot gardening, a simple approach particularly for the simple-minded gardeners out there (like me!). It […]

Things Change: Coronavirus the Pandemic
*Takes off novelty ears and puts on pathology hat* Things change rather quickly, it seems. I wrote my last post eleven days ago. I’ve never seen a situation evolve as quickly as this. Almost 140,000 novel coronavirus cases and over 5,000 deaths globally. It’s a officially a pandemic. (though we pretty much knew that already, […]

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 […]

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 […]
