If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • A Tern for the…Best?

    What’s a good title without a pun? This one requires a little context. Yet Another E-bike Journey After being burned by VanMoof with a few lovely e-bikes that ended up as minor horror stories, my approach changed. If I was going to wade in again, it was going to be with a company that used…

  • Baking, Boarding, and Beyond

    Don’t it always seem to go, that when you are actually doing things it’s hard to sit down and write about them… Jetting (or rather, turbo-propping) off again The week came with another stint across the water. This time it was much smoother with no delays, and on the way back I had enough time…

  • Back in Hot(ish) Water

    More heat pump stuff. Stay tuned for some truly hot takes, but first, something completely similar to previous posts… Another Project! I have been on the lookout for a suitable desk for Sarah’s sewing machines and craft equipment for a little while now. I was leaning towards buying an oak worktop and making it myself…
