There’s nothing wrong in an aesthetic sense with the header photo, I’m not calling it out as a good picture, but it is one of those pictures that I would routinely take whilst out and about on my morning walk. That’s the thing about my morning walks, they are very “samey”. In fact, I thinkContinue reading “732 – Out and about”

This morning’s walk was quite delightful. There was the threat of rain, but not really much of a threat. Of course, if it did rain I was either not that far from home or shelter, and besides, having had so little recently it would have been quite nice to get naturally wet. As it happensContinue reading “731 – Walking”

I think a slightly surreal self portrait, admittedly taken accidentally is a reasonable offering for the book of the moment. I wonder how many of you (here I am imagining my millions of non-existent readers) ever used one of the earlier internet (well, I suppose almost pre-internet service offerings; Compuserve? The thing about Compuserve wasContinue reading “730 – Book of the moments”

I have no idea if Procratinatic is a word, but the delight if the English language is that it looks as though it should, even if it doesn’t; To be procrastinatic is to have the characteristics of, or tendency toward procrastination. I should know, I’m an expert at it. But it comes in bursts, I’mContinue reading “729 – Procrastinatic Bursts”

So we have this soap, Festive Fig and pomegranate. Now I don’t often get passionate about soaps, but this one just smells so deep and rich I love it. As its badged as a festive soap, I’m not sure if you can buy it at this time of year. I’m going to be really disappointedContinue reading “728 – Festive Fig & Pomegrannette”

OK, that didn’t go well. I kind of ran out of steam last night. It was a pathetic post – sorry about that. As this blog has gone on from Post No. 1 onwards, I’ve always tried to have a goal in mind. As time went on, would I get to 100? 250? 500 AllContinue reading “727 – Re 726”

I managed to get out for a morning walk. Not the usual three mile walk, but I did get a couple of miles in. I also had to pop out at lunchtime, only to the shop to buy a couple of things. It was very warm, showing 31C. But actually, it wasn’t too bad.

The most obvious and self evident thing that I can say about an evening walk is that the light is completely different to that of the morning, coming as it does from 180 degrees away. I thought I would go for an evening stroll, rather than at lunchtime as the sun was a bit fierce.Continue reading “725 – An evenings stroll”

I guess the photo above is a kind of street photography. The thing about street photography is that just sometimes, you can get away with street shots with no people and of course, I am an expert in Street Photography aren’t I? I think the lighting, the architecture shadows or some other aspect should beContinue reading “724 – Street Photography”

Here’s a thing; after being stuck indoors for three days having had an adverse reaction to some medicine I’ve been taking, I think I am prepared to forgive myself the two rather pathetic posts of the weekend and the one that I missed because i just didn’t feel up to doing anything, if I amContinue reading “723 – A Real Test?”
