Yesterday wasn’t a lazy day. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to London, and would happily do another. There are a number of places in the city that I have never been to, one example of which is The Imperial War Museum. Although I saw the Cutty Sark, I didn’t go on board, that remains toContinue reading “897 – A Lazy Day”

A few weeks ago, Elayne had a day booked in London to meet up with friends. I decided that I would go to London with her, my first visit to the city since pre-covid times, probably around 2019. I decided that I was going to do a few things that I hadn’t done before. WeContinue reading “896 – A day of History, Culture and …”

There is a fair bit of work going on in and around Haslar Marina. The lightship dissappeared for several months whilst there was a lot of dredging work going on. The lightship is back now. It looked a bit barren on its return, but it is now being returned to its state as a restaurant.Continue reading “895 – The waterfront”

I quite enjoyed the visit to the Newlands House Gallery, where we saw the Lee Miller photographic exhibition. It was fascinating. Now the quality of the pictures was extremley good, but there is no doubt that Lee had the subjects. Mainly Picasso. During the lockdowns, I spent a fair bit of time reading one particularContinue reading “894 – Art Galleries”

I am really hoping that I can stop beating myself up over not getting up and going for a walk in the morning. For the last two mornings, I have managed to get up go for my normal walk and join in on the #Breakfastclub, it has actually been really nice. Plus I have decidedContinue reading “893 – Facebook”

This morning was a bit of moment. For the first time in several months, I managed to get up and go for a walk. Now, I did have a bit of an argument with myself. But I had reached a point where I knew that the situation couldn’t carry on like it had. Now IContinue reading “892 – Out for a walk”

Every day (well, mostly every day) as I settle in the office chair I am trying to develop a routine involving looking at three books; Ian Dale’s On this day in politics, Andy Beer’s Every Day Nature and finaly, The journals of Gilbert White. The great things about all three of these books is thatContinue reading “891 – The Journal”

Just a brief comment about last nights post. It looks like we are planning to do the walk next year, not 2023. Stand by whilst things are sorted. I’ve titled today’s posts Projects as a bit of a reflection of activities. Why, for example, have i done nothing with the model railway? or why IContinue reading “890 – Projects”

The Serpent trail is a winding, twisting 64 mile walk that covers three counties, starting in Haslemere and ending at Petersfield. Alex has suggested we should do the walk later in the year. I’ve said yes. To be honest, I really do want to do it. I’m not at all bothered by the prospect. ThereContinue reading “889 – is an intention a commitment?”

I had left last nights post far too late, hence its feebleness. Sorry about that. I thought I would write a little bit about audio books. I have an account with audible, I pay about £7 a month for which I get a credit. The credit buys a book, which could if bought independently couldContinue reading “888 – Last Night & Audio Books”
