422 Writing the Week

I think the Cockle ponds were the smoothest I’d seen them for a long while.

There have been a couple of times over the last week or so, when the time has come to write and I really couldn’t think of anything. That’s why you’ve ended up with either a shorter than normal or something more than a bit waffly.

I’ve had quite a reasonable spread of articles; model railways, photographic equipment and a bit of astronomy. There was one day when I didn’t go for a walk, it was absolutely tipping it down. Now I have gone out deliberately when it is raining, and I did get wet, but not that Monday.

We will be doing some time in the garden tomorrow, but I am hoping to get the opportunity to get to either Homebase or B&Q, I am determined to get the baseboard material for the model railway. Unfortunately, if they don’t work, I am back to the online. Even if I can only get the supporting timber – that would certainly help.

That leads on to something else. When the railway is up and running I want to photograph it, I’ve been watching some videos of people who take pictures of toys, but making them look realistic. I suppose it partly goes back to the TV adverts that showed children’s toys in action sequences. I’d quite like to have a go.
