holiday – Iain Douglas Stewart

Week 31 – 2025

By Iain 12 August 2025Weekly UpdatesNo Comments

04-08-2025 And we're back. We've just had a nice little holiday in Torquay - batteries are refreshed and I'm raring to get going on the projects again. I'm still ironing out the elemental system that's going to exist across all my games, but I would really like to get something tangible and playable out there soon. Also, I've updated the…

I don’t know where my motivation has gone

By Iain 11 August 2022Physicality, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I try and keep it positive on here, which is why it's been quiet recently. A lot of negativity in my life right now. Stuck in a slump and I just don't know which way to go. Work is awful right now, people have been leaving for years and have not been replaced, and it's got to the point now…

Slacking

By Iain 13 November 2018The MissionNo Comments

I finished my level 2 Counselling Skills course back in August, but I couldn't take the assessment because we had already booked to go on holiday. I went in to college and took it last night, and it felt great to be back in a learning environment. Being driven to college in a taxi in the dark, the smell of…

Waves is gone

By Iain 4 September 2018Internet, Site RelatedNo Comments

My old blog, Waves, which used to be at the old domain of randomfury.co.uk, is no more. All the posts have been folded into this blog. It was a lovely place, if a bit quiet. I feel like I've written this a lot recently, but it was always more for me to cathartically write than for people to read. I'd…

On hold. What to do?

By Iain 22 June 2018Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

Potentially, I may have to hold fire on continuing my Counselling training for this upcoming academic year. We booked our annual holiday pretty much as soon as we came back off of our holiday last year, and it happened to coincide with the external assessment for my counselling course. So the problem is that I can't take the assessment because…

A new approach to updates

By Iain 12 September 2014Music, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

Our Honeymoon – Day 8

By Iain 15 June 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

Day eight, we drove home. The cats were happy to see us when we arrived, as were the boys. There not being any scales in our apartment, I had no idea if I had put on weight. Well, I say I had no idea, but it was really obvious to be honest - I was drinking 2-3 pints of lager…

Our Honeymoon – Day 7

By Iain 14 June 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

Day seven was our last day at Lurcombe, sadly. We went to Becky Falls, which was awesome. I love a good walk. I experimented with the panorama setting on my camera, and came up with some quite lovely shots, the best of which you can look at and buy prints of here, or you can look at them and read…

Our Honeymoon – Day 6

By Iain 13 June 2013Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

We went to Torquay on day six. There was a lack of good shops and/or arcades - I distinctly remember there being a good arcade here a couple of years ago. We went on the big wheel this time, it was quite good to see the town from that angle. They were playing Daft Punk's Get Lucky while we were…

Our Honeymoon – Day 5

By Iain 12 June 2013Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Day five was a proper chill day. We went to Dartington Shops, saw some cool artwork by a guy called Moose, went to a farm shop and bought some cheesecake, some ham, some cheese, some general farm goods, and made ourselves a ploughman's for lunch. We watched some Dexter, had paella for tea, then we spent the rest of the…
