We were in town today. We took Aurora into town for a walk and stopped for a bit of lunch. One of the things I want to do is explore the cafes in town. I’m looking for something that could become a regular haunt, which will be happy with me sitting for half an hourContinue reading “1851 – In Town”

I nearly forgot to a post for today, and so I’m now in a bit of a flap trying to get one done. Slightly difficult to think of what to write about as I haven’t really done much today. I had to go to the pharmacy, on the way, I passed a group of workmenContinue reading “1850 – My apologies”

Over the next day or so, I should have a couple of videos available for YouTube. I promise you, that these videos are so good, that you will want to watch them again and again. My only real question is; should I put them up? I have put so much effort in to them (andContinue reading “1849 – YouTube Videos”

I’ll be honest, the header picture bears no connection whatsoever with Waterlooville. A quick story on how the town got its name as told through Google; Waterlooville got its name from soldiers returning from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, who stopped at a local inn, the “Heroes of Waterloo,” for a celebration, with many choosing to settleContinue reading “1848 – Waterlooville”

I had to go over to Portsmouth. Can you believe; two dental appointments in one day? The first was a consultation which left me with a choice – a course of treatment that would cost £2330 (double root canal), with a likely 75% success rate or an extraction. The second visit was, luckily a routineContinue reading “1846 – Out and about”

I wanted to write something kind of profound about this weekend, but to be honest, I’ve left it way too late. we did have a busy weekend, taking Aurora to see Father Christmas in an unusual place, but it was very interesting. We think she enjoyed it. Today we visited family in london. We gotContinue reading “1845 – A busy Weekend”

What I don’t want to do is write a post which says “Today, I had to pop into town to get a couple of things. It was lovely weather. Just a little fresh, but lovely and bright. I got what I needed and then took a slow stroll home.” The thing is that’s it –Continue reading “1844 – A quick dash”

I went for a walk. Leaving home around 1100. I had a bit of a dilemma, I wanted to go around the Cockle Ponds and see what is going on there but, I also wanted to walk the length of the high street in both directions. I solved that by making the ponds a loop,Continue reading “1843 – A Friday Walk”

Today, my wife informed me that I had upset all her daily routines. It has taken only two days to get to a position where I can officially class myself as “The useless Blob” – I was trying to help with our GrandDaughter, and whilst I hadn’t done anything technically wrong, mostly what I wasContinue reading “1842 – It has only taken two days”
