Day 14 of my smoking cessation drive. And the best husband of all is rapidly becoming divorce material. He’s just lit up another fag right in front of me, in the same room. I am not amused. I need a bit of happiness blogging to make up for the bastard move on my sofa. So…
Well, we are not only off, we are now already landed. And I have been tracking Flat Richie like a hawk. His first journey from his home in Dublin to an until-now undisclosed location in Europe started last Saturday and ended today (Thursday). That’s actually faster than I had thought or hoped.

It looks as if I have a lot of shrining in my future.

Most devastatingly, however,…
Apart from jokey fake press releases, I have never given you any insights into the shrine-making process. Ideally, I should make a process video at some stage, so you can see a RAPS from conception to finished product, but I thought I’d provide a little look behind the scenes today, garnished with a few pictures.…
