Having left Link on the edge of the Eldin Mountains, I decided that as I was already in the vicinity of the Gorons I might as well say hello. Whereas in Breath of the Wild the mountains were impossible to reach without the right garments or elixirs, things had cooled down quite considerably. However before […]
What a question! What do we all want out of life? Peace, prosperity, and love. Beyond that, there’s a lot of scope for what’s ideal! My (now long-dead) dream was to be a Formula 1 racing driver. It was that or football star. The glory, the fame, the money, it would be great. Beyond that, […]
So far, I had already spun quite a few hours into wandering around this new Hyrule, and I had come to the conclusion that Nintendo had remarkably managed to make things familiar and new at the same time. Many of the features from Breath of the Wild remained, but they had been retooled and redesigned, […]
We’re back! What’s been goin’ on over the last couple of weeks? It’s Local Election Day! On the 4th of May, voters in the UK took to the polls in local elections. These don’t usually have a seismic impact on the political landscape, but they can be an opportunity for the people to send a […]
I don’t recall what year it was, but it was the early 90s. We were flying home from Portugal (a different occasion to the episode where I got left behind), and our flight from Faro had been quite considerably delayed. We were due to fly at around midnight, but a huge thunderstorm in the region […]
To be lackadaisical is to be lacking in a zest for life. It is to lack spirit. To be honest, this seems like such a poor definition of what is a beautiful word. I would view being lackadaisical as being ‘carefree and whimsical’, but then, it’s not for me to redefine words, however much I’d […]
Hungry yet? Jambalaya is a beautiful dish. I haven’t had it often, but I recall it being magnificent. The base ingredients for a good jambalaya tend to be onion, celery and green bell peppers, along with rice. Into that can go chicken, prawns, sausages and pork, along with okra, carrots chilis and garlic. The meat […]
Waaaay back in 1993 (I think), I flew on a plane for the first time. As I recall, we flew out of Stansted, to the sun-kissed shores of the Algarve, in southern Portugal. The experience was quite a novel one, and the holiday itself was a very enjoyable one. It took me a minute to […]
We had arrived back on Terra, er, Hylia, having heard Zelda’s voice, imploring us to find her. The map indicated Hyrule Castle would be the first, best place to find the errant princess, but would this prove to be true? What else waited upon the surface of this new, unhinged Hyrule? This little fortification held […]
Time for a Prompt with a bit of a difference, as I take a leaf from Bruce Gerencser’s book, and recount some of my personal steps. We’re taking a step back to the early 90s (I think it was the early 90s), and an impact – quite literally – upon my life. My mother, father, […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
