A week of fun D&D combats, basement imprisonment, physical media, yet more steam cleaning, trains up to Sheffield, and a really fun wedding. Read Week 306: Joe & Niamh.
A week of theatre trips, union socials, post-work wine, summer camps, leaky tents, blacksmithing, wholesome activities, and dirty wellies. Read Week 305: Fiberglass.
