2153 – it’s a clear sky.
This photo was a grab shot, taken with the iphone 12. OK, it’s not brilliant, but you can definitely see it’s Orion. I’d like to try and get a better one, of Orion, and other constellations. So, I’m going to try something. I’ll let you know how it goes. When I was a member ofContinue reading “2153 – it’s a clear sky.”
2152 – The Ideas factory
Before we went on holiday, I went through a phase where I became very enthusiastic about various vlog opportunities that were popping into my mind. This was a bit of a surprise to me, because ever since I had become enamoured of the idea, and technology involved in vlogging, the one thing I was severelyContinue reading “2152 – The Ideas factory”
2151 – A Day in the life of Shingle
I’ve just done a quick search, and I have mentioned “The secret life of Shingle” in three other posts. I won’t bother to link to them, because I litterally just use the term, and then talk about something else. Anyhow, what am I talking about? Well, when I joined u3a at the beginning of theContinue reading “2151 – A Day in the life of Shingle”
2150 – Astronomy, u3a & Weather
Fiona, the Gosport u3a Group Leader had asked if I would go to the Climate Change group presentation this morning, and let me know what I thought of it. I didn’t count the number of people there, but I’d say 10-15. Guests had been invited as the group had a lady in from Gosport StreetSceneContinue reading “2150 – Astronomy, u3a & Weather”
2149 – Letter to Steve XXXIV – Lots of Natural History.
Dear Steve, I think this week’s letter, being written on Sunday evening, is a little bit strange, because for the first time in quite a while I didn’t know where to begin. Perhaps then I should start with my reading of Gilbert’s Letter XXXIV. I read Gilbert’s letter and immediately thought that’s going to beContinue reading “2149 – Letter to Steve XXXIV – Lots of Natural History.”

I was deterrmined to try and get out for a walk this morning. i had a couple of thtings in mind thata I wanted to do, and onething I needed to do (I succeeded in two, and failed in one – more on that in a bit).

2147 Friday Morning & the Shop
I wanted to get into the garden, just to have a bit of a look around, to see what was going on. I even had my magnifying glass with me, to have a look at nature. It shouldn’t be the wrong time of year, nature is there all year round, it’s just that this timeContinue reading “2147 Friday Morning & the Shop”
2146 – Well, that surprised me!
In Post 265, quite a while back, in fact, May 2021, I joined Queket, the Microscope Club. What surprised me was that I was my timelines had got mixed up again, and that i was a member, a lot further back than I thought. This Stereo Microscope is the one that has been taken outContinue reading “2146 – Well, that surprised me!”
2145 – u3a Wednesday
It’s the first wednesday of the month. That means it’s the monthly u3a meeting at Thorngate halls, when as many members are crammed into one of the halls, given a quick review of recent and upcoming activities, followed by a speaker. There isn’t anything really noteworthy for Gosport u3a itself. This month’s speaker was StephenContinue reading “2145 – u3a Wednesday”
