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

  • 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…

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • The Rain in Spain (Barcelona Edition)

    Want to see some photos of food? I’ve got plenty. I can confirm, in fact, that the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains in and around Barcelona. People have drowned in less. Barcelona is not really designed to cope with this amount of rain. There are a serious amount of impermeable surfaces and…

  • Shed Loads of Work

    It starts with a mess. The workshop shed has been up since late August/early September last year. After the monumental effort preparing for and building said shed, I didn’t have a lot of energy left to do much else. Time went by, and other more pressing concerns arose (including a leaking pipe leading to some…
