I have this thing say, for example, Vlogging that I would really like to do. So, I rush about making sure that I have everything I need to produce a vlog of actually quite good quality. There are three fairly major problems. I had this thing about speaking and videoing in public, actually getting outContinue reading “926 – I keep returning to a theme”

The day started with a dead badger. As soon as I saw the pathetic looking heap in the middle of the road as I left the house I knew what it was. With a degree of trepidation, I took closer look firstly confirming that it was badger that was deceased, and there was no bloodContinue reading “925 – That was the day that was”

What we thought would be quite nice was to take lunch over to Titchfield Haven, the nature reserve just a little way along the coast from Lee-on-The-Solent. We prepared our tuna mayo rolls, a piece of fruit and a drink, took books and magazines and were prepared for an afternoons relaxation. We like to takeContinue reading “924 – The Solent Way”

This morning I went over to Portsmouth using the Gosport ferry. I have to admit that the whole process is very smooth. I wanted to purchase a multi-journey becasue each journey is cheaper. The ticket office was closed, presumably becasue I was too early. Not to worry, the machines were working, do they dispense multi-journeyContinue reading “923 – Crossing the water”

Several years ago, well before Covid I did a course at the local college. In fact I quite enjoyed the course, so I did it twice. It was a course on creative writing. The teacher was a local author June Hampson. She was very good and supportive, and was quite clear that her goal wasContinue reading “922 – Creative Writing”

On this mornings post on Facebook, it tried a bit harder to write something a little less prosaic than I normally do. For example instead of say the there were lovely colours in the morning sky, I wrote something along the lines of the sky brightened to the east, the muted grey on the horizonContinue reading “921 – writing”

There are somethings that are really quite cathartic. For me it can be as simple as cutting the grass, shredding or organising a book shelf. All of a sudden, I am to be given almost half of one of our bookshelves. I have more than enough books to fill it. It is though, more thanContinue reading “920 – Bookshelves”

It was a cold start to the day. I have to confess that I didn’t really want to get up. As usual though I’m glad I did. There was a northerly breeze with a real bite to it. Luckily my headphones cover my ears, so they don’t suffer. The high street was even more quietContinue reading “919 – today’s walks”

It’s not that I have writers block, it’s just that I can’t make my mind what to write about. I don’t want to write about photography, I did that last night. I could write about astronomy, the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights) are figuring in the news a lot at the moment. The sun’s mainContinue reading “918 – Writing”

It is very unusual if I don’t take a photo when I go out for a walk. To be honest, I haven’t given much thought to the practice of taking a picture, or the tool that I use to do so. As I was sorting out t somethings in the office, I found the cableContinue reading “917 – Photography”
