The weather is with us all day, every day it affects us all. Many aspects of the weather are fairly easy to measure. It is possible to buy weather stations that measure different aspects and present that data to the internet. I am very likely to go back there. In the meantime, I am quiteContinue reading “855 – The Weather”

Would you notice if I re-used a photo that I had used before? I did a few posts ago and I didn’t notice myself until the next night when I wanted to use it again (must be a good picture). I’m not really talking the most recent episode, something from longer back. The thing is,Continue reading “854 – Would you notice If”

Today we visited Keydales in Horndean. I guess it’s a fairly typical garden centre. I didn’t see anything there that I wasn’t expecting. In general I find garden centres fairly boring. I acknowledge though that they usually have a nice restaurant that serves nice food. The other thing I like to look at is theContinue reading “853 – Garden Centres”

There are books and films that I really like. To the extent that there are some that I have re-read and watched several times. You would think wouldn’t you that once read, once seen that was it. But no. Even though I know what is going to happen, but I still very much enjoy revisiting.Continue reading “852 – Read, Watch, Repeat”

Today’s quite memorable for me in a trivial, but interesting way. I’ve now started reading Gilbert White’s book with its full title The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne. Modern versions of the book tends to drop the antiquities part of the book because it appears people are less interested in that aspect. I boughtContinue reading “851 – A Natural History of Selborne”

I am on my Christmas break. It’s quite nice, as I am now able to take a walk in to town at any time convenient to me. We bought Sausage Rolls and sat at the waterfront. No ships apart from the Gosport Ferry plying its usual route too and fro. The gulls were waiting toContinue reading “850 – Gulls waiting for food.”

It was quite a change today. From yesterday’s frosts today it has gone to rain. In a way, that’s good because it means tomorrow morning I will be able to see how well my basic rain gauge performs. The max/min thermometer I bought has worked very well. I was slightly disturbed though, to read onContinue reading “849 – The Weather”

We walked in to town today. We popped in to the new cultural centre had a quick look around which was interesting, and did make me wonder if they change parts of the display every few days? The cafe is quite pleasant. The British Heart Foundation has quite a good book section. I like toContinue reading “848 – walking in town”

As happens on quite a few occasions the header picture has nothing at all to do with what I intend to write about except to say that I haven’t been to the waterfront for a couple of days, and I thought that The Mary Mouse 2 was due back on her berth in November, butContinue reading “847 – The Aurora”
