There was something about this mornings walk. It was just a feeling that it was a very pleasant walk. It was nice to see the Crane Heron at the waters edge, I did get a picture, but it flew off before I could get closer. I like seeing the foxes in the car park, IContinue reading “774 – Out Walking”

Orion was very clear as I left the house at around 6AM. I didn’t take this picture from there. There’s a couple of points on the morning walk where the street lighting is a bit less annoying. Not too bad, you can even make out that the sword is not just stars. For as longContinue reading “773 – Journalling”

The two doors are No.s 16 & 17 North Cross Street. I’ve just spent a bit of time trying to find out when this was built. I’m guessing, but I’d say the 1960’s or 70’s. I don’t really know though. The thing is (sorry to say this) but I’m not interested in the building. WhatContinue reading “772 – Ooops Gosport (again)”

Of All of the shop closures along Stokes Road perhaps one that I feel saddest about is the tailor Kong Cheung. I have no idea why he closed, It could be anything. I really can’t tell you why I was sorry to see it go, I never used it. Whenever I go in to townContinue reading “771 – Gosport (Again)”

On Friday I had my Covid Booster at 1450 and my flu jab at 1630. On Saturday, I go up Saturday and felt rough, very fatigued and I ached whenever I moved. I went outside once, otherwise I spent nearly all day sat in the lounge. All that meant that I didn’t go to theContinue reading “770 – Gosport”

I have just done a quick check of all 768 previous posts and there are four where I mention this thing called locality, and I think it is No. 302, and even there I don’t really talk about it much. It all started one misty morning in May 2015. All of Cunard’s queens were departingContinue reading “769 – Locality & Hashtags”

I think I have spent about an hour sat here looking at the screen, thinking about writing about writing. I enjoyed the time at Pagham we had a good trip especially the photo gallery at Petworth. I’d like to go to more exhibitions like that. I’d also like to go to more art exhibitions asContinue reading “768 – Writing”

Today, 22 September 2022, is the first days of autumn. Tomorrow morning at 0203 the night and the day, will be the same length, from tomorrow onwards, until the spring equinox, nights will be longer than days. Another thing that changes is the weather. Moving into Autumn means cold fresh mornings – quite nice, IContinue reading “767 – Seasons”

Conkers, it appears, are an-anti-arachnid device. Put one in each corner of the room – no spiders. It does seem to work. We’ve had no spiders in doors. Unless you don’t replace them each year. They dry out and you lose the effectiveness, over the last month or so we have had a couple ofContinue reading “766 – Conkers”

For the first time in ten days, I did my usual morning walk. I hadn’t expected a lot of change, and to be honest there hasn’t been much. The flower beds opposite the railway station have been prepared for winter, I wonder if there is anything they can put in to bring some winter colour?Continue reading “765 – A Gosport Walk”
