It was one of those days, we didn’t have any plans, had a late breakfast and seriously considered just sitting in the lounge and snoozing.  The problem was that it looks a really nice day and it seems churlish to stay in.  So we decided that we would head over to Titchfield Haven.  My betterContinue reading “783 – Pebble Hunting”

Is it possible to have too many books? Even if space for them is running out? I have no more bookshelf space to give and have resorted to having a couple of piles, plus I have several books on the go. I am lucky that audio books only take up storage, not physical space. TheContinue reading “782 – Books”

Can’t think of anything to write about? You end up with either a really feeble post, such as a couple of nights ago or sometimes a bunch of waffle that, just very occasionally turns in to something interesting. At this moment in time, I have no idea which way this post is going to go.Continue reading “781 – What happens when…”

I have had the distinct feeling that the morning walks are a bit jaded, especially at this time of year when an increasing portion of the walk is done in the dark. I must have thousands of very boring pictures of the Spinnaker taken during the walks between the autumnal and spring equinoxes. Just occasionallyContinue reading “780 – Atmosphere”

It starts around the middle of the eighteenth century. Many of the buildings that serviced the military have gone, but many remainContinue reading “778 – Book of the week”

I’ve had the most recent issue of B&W Photography. There is usually at least one article that for one reason or another grabs my attention. This time it was an article y Tim Daly entitled “Abstraction”. I don’t think it matters where you live, I am sure that there will be lots of opportunities forContinue reading “777 – Abstract or Surreal?”

I do have an actual journal. There are one and a bit volumes of it. I’m about two thirds of the way through the second volume. It’s taken me quite a while to get here. The first volume was started on May 29th 2014. I have had a couple of goes at keeping a diary,Continue reading “776 – The Journal”

I’ve walked most days this week. The last couple of mornings especially the walks have felt really quite good. Although the weather is cooling down, I made sure I was wrapped up comfortable. The #Breakfastclubs for each morning have been very enjoyable with a range of topics being discussed. The goodness, is just a feeling.Continue reading “775 – That was the week”

There was something about this mornings walk. It was just a feeling that it was a very pleasant walk. It was nice to see the Crane Heron at the waters edge, I did get a picture, but it flew off before I could get closer. I like seeing the foxes in the car park, IContinue reading “774 – Out Walking”
