I was a little bit more than tired. Had a really rough weekend. Hopefully fully back to normal in a couple of days. Another pathetic post. Sorry about that.

Really sorry for tonight’s post. Just got back from the radio club and feel absolutely drained, but don’t want to lose my running streak. So tonight’s post is feeble in the extreme. Sorry about this. Will try and do better tomorrow.

Thursdays is one of those days. I do a thing called the Thursday Night Net, which is a regular amateur radio event. If you are on Facebook, look for the GB3IW page. There are literally hundreds of videos of me doing the net. I love it, but one of the frustrations is I have toContinue reading “720 – It’s late again”

I see very few people whilst out on my morning walk. I talk to even fewer of them. This morning was a very nice example of encounters that I have whilst out walking. A lady taking her dog for a walk and the dog hasn’t so much taken a fancy to me as needing someContinue reading “719 – People”

If I leave writing a post until last thing in the evening, I then immediately get stuck for something to write. Writing posts earlier de-stresses me. But I still have to think of something to write about. when I was out walking my usual route, which involves going from the cross street down to theContinue reading “718 – Short Post History”

After a couple of weeks of having my morning walks disrupted. I must admit it was a bit difficult last week to get up and go for any walks, I just didn’t feel like it. It was a case of I need to do some exercise. This mornings walk was a different experience. I wasContinue reading “717 – The Morning Walk”

It’s all to do with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). That’s “tuning” the video that you post, so thatContinue reading “716 – YouTube”

When it comes to photography, I am neither adventurous or inventive. I take a picture, and if I am lucky, it is a good picture. I might even take a picture deliberately that turns out to be not bad. I think the header picture for this post is one of my “not too bad” pictures.Continue reading “715 – Frustration”

It was strange today. I arrived at the waterfront just as the Normandie was coming in through the harbour entrance. The thing was, it took me a bit of time to realise that it was the Normandie – it just looked a lot bigger than what I recalled. It took me by surprise. I supposeContinue reading “714 – Lunch time walks”

It hasn’t been the easiest week for morning walking I’ve pretty much had to force myself to get up for the walk. The frustrating thing is that once I am up and out, I enjoy the walk. So, it isn’t the walk so much as the getting up. But then I do get up. TheContinue reading “713 – Out for a walk”
