Don’t ask me why I took this picture of a discarded piece of plastic in some rather yucky water on the portsmouth side, but there is something about it that appeals to me.
I used my bus pass today to go up to Fareham, I got off the stop closest to the Oxfam bookshop, I didn’t buy anything but did have a good browse. They have quite a good history section, well worth keeping an eye on.
I got the X4 I think it was to Portsmouth and got off at a stop near the shopping arcade (too small really to be a mall) and had a look at the London Camera Exchange, if money were no object, I’d definitely go for one of the Nikon mirrorless range, although I do quite like the look of the Fuji range, their cameras appear to have more traditional settings on the top plate. I’ll keep an eye out for dealer days nearby.
I did the usual hours (at least) in waterstones. This time though, I got a sandwich and sat in their coffee lounge and had a think about what I might be looking for, and although I enjoyed looking there really wasn’t;t anything that I felt I needed to buy – except one book, the defence of Hampshire which is quite interesting, but at £22 I thought was a bit expensive. I think I can get a 2nd hand copy for less than £10, which would be good.
Then caught the ferry back to Gosport, it was the approach to the ferry where I paused to take this picture.
I noticed that there was a sign up, announcing the new Gosport Interchange, it really does look ready for use, they just have to clear the fence line away. That’s something to watch out for, and then of course, demolition will start, and I some how think that won’t take long.
