It’s not very often I mention work in my blogs, but I’m going to today, but only in the context that I do work. My job is mostly a 9-5 thing, with extensions beyond that when needed, and extensions into the weekend on very extreme cases.
Why am I telliing you this? Well, it’s partly an excuse. Especially at this time of year, when there is no evening light. It means that weekends are the only times available for me to do things like visiting historic places. Even if those places are within the immediate locality of Gosport, given that I might want to record some video, the lack of light precludes evening visits – unless I’m after a certain kind of atmosphere, which doesn’t happen often, but may increasingly so in the future.
It is very easy when we reach the weekend to make the decision to not do anything. This kind of bites you when you’ve been going on about how much you want to get out and visit these sites.
One thing I can do, is spend a bit of time during these dark evenings researching a particular site, in preparation for a weekend visit. If I want to do this, I really need to get on with it.
