Elf Blood

Hey everyone! Well, we’re getting through this issue of Mei Wu at a blistering pace, now that I’m not being sent here there and everywhere 🙂 And we’re actually nearing the end! It’ll be a few weeks, right enough, but I think that gives me just enough time to whet your appetites for the next Elf Blood story 🙂

Who’s up for another story diving into the seedy underbelly of the local magical community, The Village? Who actually REMEMBERS the last time I actually used it in a story? This story will focus in on the Pleiades – which means you’ll be introduced to two whole new characters 😀 It also sets the scene and introduces some elements for a major – MAJOR – plot point in the story afterwards. I hope you enjoy intrigue and asskicking 😀 read more

Hola folks! Hope you’re doing well!

Today, I’m going to do something I don’t do very often – pontificate about beer. Now, you all know I’m quite the foodie – I love eating as much as I enjoy making food. However, when it comes to alcohol, apart from cocktails, I’m relatively ignorant of the finer points of craft brews, small batches, etc. etc. I tend to try different things and stick to what I like best (Dry beers and lagers and dark rums, largely).

But I tried a new beer this week that absolutely. Blew. My. MIND. It’s so good I haven’t shut up about it to my friends and family! I’ve been drinking Drygate Brewery‘s core range for about a year now – I’m a fan of their Bearface Lager and their Axe Man Rye IPA (and I’m not normally an IPA fan). And I’ve been trying some from their new ‘Studio’ range recently – without all that much success. read more

Hullo everybody! Just a quick post today, but this time fortunately not because I’m rushed – I just don’t have all that much to report, in all honesty!

It’s been a lovely few days here in the west of Scotland. Like, properly sunny and warm (“Taps Aff”, in our vernacular). And it’s going to continue being nice for at least the next couple of days. I actually think I’m going to sort out some outdoor planters – I’d love to grow some flowers to attract bees and whatnot. Anyone any suggestions for flowers? I’m thinking maybe cornflowers and lavender. read more
