I went out for a walk this morning. Now, I’m not telling you that because I am expecting be heaped with praise, it’s just the opening gambit for tonight’s post.
The thing is about the walk was that it was unexciting. Note that I’m not saying boring, because it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it if it were, there was nothing special about it, it was quite routine. There, I’ve got that out of the way.
I followed my usual route, with just a couple of minor variations (walking up to the Argos junction with Clarence Road rather than the cross ways,, and at towards the end of walk heading towards Asda’s where I needed to do a little bit of shopping.
There’s a quite biting easterly wind at the moment, so I was grateful for my nice thick jacket.
Apart from the Gosport Ferry, and a few small boats, the only unusual activity in the harbour were the group of five or six kayakers that came into. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, so we’re protected against the cold.
Not an exciting or boring walk, but enjoyable, so there you go. Actually, I was going to publish at that point, but it seemed a bit too dismissive. I should write a little bit about yesterday. Gosport Model Railway Club had an exhibition in the St Mary’s Community Hall. Not a big one, there were only five layouts on display but they were all good, and interesting and fun.
What was surprising was the most interesting display wasn’t American, or N-Gauge (the main focus of GMRC) and was entirely second hand. The young chap was very enthusiastic and keen to explain his set up, which he’d put a lot of effort into, with jokey things, like a couple of Daleks, and a car that had crashed into a tree, and a forklift truck that had picked up a police car, and a bank robbery. It was excellent, and he is clearly having a lot of fun with it.
There, that seems like a much better place to end.
