If you love easy, cozy bakes that taste like home, you’re going to adore these 2‑Ingredient Apple Pie Cups. They’re the kind of simple little treat that feels almost magical — sweet, warm apple filling tucked into golden, flaky cinnamon...
Not our best month. Due to being a bit under the weather, we're going to have to do a combined questions/letters post tomorrow. See you then! Click here for full story
Slim Summer Saturday Last Saturday a temporary bus route was introduced in North Cray while water main replacement works block the main road. It's the 592, it supports a few hundred people who'd otherwise be busless for three weeks and...
Continuing a series of short playlists started about seven years ago. Back then a solo venture, now as a sequence of tracks discussed within a close circle, actively brainstorming the next selection while the music plays. Void of strict...
It was Michael's birthday the other day (happy belated birthday!). Inspired by their birthday wish, today's blog post is about an obscure game that is very dear to me: Heretic II. Heretic II is a "wicked 3D action fantasy" that came out...
“But to politicks and literature there must be an end.” Leave it to Dr. Johnson to remind us of the vanity of our wishes. Human striving often comes to little or nothing. Above he writes of a poet whose posthumous place in English...
Candy Mercer and Denise Carver do not have magic.You will not see them using any spells or a witch’s mark on them, nor do they have an ancient bloodline to call their own, let alone a familiar. To my knowledge, Denise can't even do a...

A quiet but very pleasant Wednesday afternoon, with just the six regulars present. We ran a few trains, chatted a lot, and enjoyed the fish and chips. Derek had got me the Bachmann collectors club C class in wartime grey. Looks perfect...
Saturday 22nd August 2026 Despite the hot weather I’ve hardly done any open-top bus riding this summer. Aside from East Yorkshire’s Beachcomber in Scarborough (blog coming up next weekend in the ‘Every Route 99’ series), my only other...
A group of us from college work our asses to the bone every year on our tailgates. Football is huge in America, and it's even huger in Texas. And once you start talking about University of Texas football, it's just ridiculous. I'm not a...
Film and TV props, especially older ones, fascinate me. Once, when looking at some from Red Dwarf, I commented that they were more basic than I'd expected. The builders agreed, but pointed out that they were on screen for a fraction of a...
On occasion, I will think of an actor who nailed their role as a superhero or villain but just didn't have the best material to work with. They're great, but everything else around them is just not at the same level. From past to more...
Earlier this week, I met a woman who I clicked with perfectly. She is funny. She is beautiful. She is smart. We share interests and passions. My conversations with her are frictionless in a way they rarely are with people I've just met....
Happy Saturday, everyone! Here on Global Nerdy, Saturday means that it’s time for another “picdump”: the weekly assortment of amusing or interesting pictures, comics, and memes I found over the past week. Share and enjoy! Screenshot...
