Ah yes, shit I bought in my 20’s and thought was super cool that I now just rediscover as we redecorate and think “what the fuck am I gonna do with this hot garbo”

Stuff This Week #83

A brick building with a blue door and two windows under a clear blue sky. A pigeon sits on the roof. The mood is calm and quiet.

A week with some sad news and reflection, busy work and recalibration.

♥ First thing I have to mention is the tragic loss of Michael Borland. We would talk on social.lol about Tech/Mac stuff, Productivity, LEGO, having a blog as well as life in general. I never met him. Never even heard his voice, but it was a pleasure every time I had a conversation over Mastodon with him.  I use his icons for Bullet Journaling in my own work journal and he’d just encouraged me to start looking into if Johnny.Decimal after posting about it. I enjoyed and looked forwards to our interactions and thought he was an admirable, wonderful person.

As per his families wishes, I’ve made a donation to St Jude’s in his honour. I’ll finish this little tribute advising you to read one of my favourites. His life rules post. Safe travels Michael.

Resident Evil : Requiem Review ★★★★★

Silhouette of a woman standing in a doorway bathed in deep red light, creating a tense, horror atmosphere. On the left, text reads “Resident Evil Requiem,” with “2025: Capcom,” “PlayStation 5 Pro,” and a five-star rating beneath.


Best game I’ve played this year so far. loved every moment of it. The Yin/Yang of sneaking around and counting every bullet as Grace to being the absolute zombie murdering wise cracking Leon makes for a great contrast as you work through the game. Graphically stunning. Fun systems. Doesn’t outstay its welcome. Encourages replays. Absolute winner in my book. 

Review : Pools


Brick-lined circular chamber with tall columns and small square windows, partially flooded with dark reflective water. A central brick platform and staircases rise above the water beneath a large round skylight that casts soft light from above. Overlaid text reads “Pools – 2023: Tensori – iPad” with a three-star rating.

“Backrooms” horror or “liminal spaces” horror is my kinda horror. Essentially it taps into that fear of being lost in an in between space. A hotel corridor. An office. A service corridor in a mall. A space that exists purely to serve as a conduit between spaces. You’re not supposed to spend that much time there. And why the  Hell would you want to?

A Gundam model kit box on a wooden table.
Green plastic model parts and instruction manuals on a wooden surface.

🤖 I bought a Gundam Gunpla model kit 1. I had a “Oh… these instructions are difficult…and in Japanese…and also difficult…and also completely in Japanese… However. I am the GOAT at Ikea furniture building and after composing myself with a cup of coffee it actually wasn’t that difficult and was pretty fun! Not sure if I’d get any others as I don’t have the room, but I’m glad another bit of Japanese nerd culture is ticked off for me now and I have a li’ll robot buddy 😊🇯🇵

Stuff This week #78

A black and white photograph of a tall smokestack with the word "BREWERY" written vertically on it. The smokestack is partially obscured by the roof of a building in the foreground. The sky is overcast, creating a moody and somewhat somber atmosphere. The image conveys a sense of industrial history and the passage of time.

👆I’m still very much enjoying playing with the Halide Mk III Public Previews B&W mode. I’m very excited to see how it evolves and it’s great whilst one of their team members have left that they seem to just be moving forwards with an energy and purpose. Very good stuff to see.

🙇 I missed writing an entry last week as I just didn’t have the time! Sumimasen!

Stuff This Week #75

🇹🇭🎒 Eldest has been on his backpack through Asia for a week already. He’s been in touch every day sending lots of updates and photos which has been really nice to see. Looks like they’re having a wonderful time. We FaceTimed for the first time today. I used FaceTime with the Apple TV for the first time and it worked really well! Made it feel much more natural.

A late Christmas miracle. I’ve been checking on and off for about a year to try and snag this Nintendo Animal Crossing Dodo Airlines bag.

Stuff This Week #68

A wonderful week off work with the family, spending some lovely time together doing some interesting stuff in some varied weather ☀️☔️🌬️

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 From cooking interesting dishes 🍝 to visiting interesting places we’ve had a fun filled week.

🏋️ Still managed to go to the gym 4 times this week. Not quite the every day I set out to do, but I’m proud enough of it. I finally got around to trying the rowing machines out and I love them.  Absolutely something I can see myself getting more into. 🚣

Stuff This Week #66

What I’d call a peaceful and controlled week overall. We have some heavy rain forecast today that’s just kicked in and the beauty of autumn is in full gear now.

I love walking around at this time of year. A little bit cold, a little bit wild but with the beautiful tones of the changing leaves giving us a last burst of beauty before the more dreary winter months and early sunsets kick in.
