Firstly, I apologise for the appalling picture, but I need it to illustrate a point.
Secondly, I apologise for last nights rushed post. Even this post may get pushed out prematurely, and then updated as I want to maintain the WordPress publishing count.
I’ve had a really quite enjoyable day. I got up fairly early, to make my way to the ferry and on to the Royal Maritime Club in Portsmouth.
I had contacted the club to say that I hoped to be able (providing there wasn’t a large gathering at the hotel) to have a group of up to 10 or so amateur radio friends meet up for the club’s rather delicious breakfast. In the end, 8 of us sat around a very nicely presented reserved table, which went down very well with everybody, as did the breakfast.
After breakfast, again as we usually do, we gathered in the central atrium to sit and have a chat about things radio, or any other subject that came up (really bad dad-jokes seemed to be quite popular this morning – sadly none of them can I remember). We went our separate ways after a couple of very pleasant hours.
I then went on a little trip around, making sure to put my bus pass to good use. Waterstones didn’t present anything that I was interested in, and sadly The Portsmouth London Camer Exchange and CEX did not have a Nikon D3500 in for me to look at (as a potential second body).
I caught the X4 to Fareham, and got straight on to an E2 into Gosport, getting off a little further down the line than usua, so that I could pick up my prescription.
On then, to the header picture – and at this point, I am going to publish this and then follow up immediately with an update.
The buds are supposed to be used by me to identify what the tree is. All I’ll say is that I’m not going to talk any more about this as it will be in my next Gilbert White letter to Steve, hopefully due tomorrow – oh, today, given that it is 0008 – Time for bed!
