Rage Against the (Washing) Machine
First came the death on Good Friday, followed by resurrection on Easter Sunday. This time though, the death was of our previously trusty washing machine and the (almost) resurrection took place on the day that will be forever known as Almost Easter Wednesday. After a great start to the Easter weekend with a session of […]

A Wild Cat Chase
…and other quests. This is just a quick update for the week. If you’re a Haruki Murakami fan, you’ll appreciate the title. Our wild cat chase was fruitless as the name suggests, but we haven’t given up. The weather has been beautiful. No, that’s not a mistake. It is March in Plymouth, and we’ve had […]

Not through the wall, but rather the availability of the coping […]

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 […]
