Tail end of February. Noticeably longer days. Not quite so good for catching sunsets on the way home from work, but skies still impressive.
Extracted by – R R Haywood
Review contains minor spoilers. I’ve got to admit, to me the premise of Extracted sounded both high-concept and cheesy at the same time. Three people; a world war two commando, a diplomatic protection officer, and an insurance investigator in witness […]
Ard Al Zaafaran – Waqar
Here’s an under-the-radar fragrance from Ard Al Zaafaran that I’ve had in my collection for a few years, yet have seen next to nothing about online, and I’ve no idea if it’s supposed to be a clone. Suitably green-coloured, it’s […]

Feeling disgruntled with how my task manager Nirvana worked, I continued my quest to find the ideal cross-platform task manager. When an app with a very interesting name was mentioned by someone on Reddit, I dipped in to take a […]
A Cold Dry Snap
We’re currently in a cold snap. A week of dry weather is such a novelty after such a wet 2023. I prefer the bite of the wind and frozen fingers to the continual damp. I love the way on dry […]
