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.

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”

I’ve left it a bit late tonight to do today justice. Walking through town at around 9AM on a Wednesday was almost as quiet as doing so at 0700, or 0800. The high street seemed very quiet. I was heading for Haslar. I was going to a Coffee Morning. I don’t think I’ve ever beenContinue reading “1841 – Retirement”
