With today’s date being 25 Nov 25, there are 103 days between today and. 14 Aug 2025. You might well ask what is so important about those two dates? Actually, there’s a third date; 14 August 2020. Tha’t when I began enumerated posts on Locality Stories.
I started it. If I recall, because COVID was still very much a thing. It still is a thing, we tested for it recently. The tests were negative But when I started it little did I realise I would still be doing it five years later. Of course, it isn’t perfect because in theory, I really should be on post 1929. Over the course of the five and a bit years, I’ve managed to miss posting on 103 days.
I just wanted to mark that point. I. Intend to keep going which means my next goal is Post 2000.
Just a little bit about today then, firstly a walk this morning. Just the market starting to bring life to the high street, the gang were having a coffee outside the charity shop. There were two blokes inside the bus station compound checking drains. I asked, the older chap and although he was friendly, I got the impression that he didn’t really want to talk, I left them to it.
A big ship out in the solent caught my eye. A quick check on Marine Traffic told me it was The Gateway, a 14000 ton Hopper Dredger. Actually, when you compare her to even a small cruise ship, 14000 tons isn’t that big, but she looked huge.
