I studied Geology at a very low level, for a very short period of time. We did a couple of field trips, one was to Barton-on-Sea, the area is known for the ease with which fossils can be found. Belemnites, small toothlike fossils molluscs. It was a lot of fun looking for them. We learnedContinue reading “327/366 Geology”

Not one of the best weeks for walking only just over 19 miles. So I made the Walk1000 but only just. I didn’t go out very much yesterday and I didn’t go out today. It’s unusual for me to have a bout of writers block. I hope that’s not a sign I’m running out ofContinue reading “326/366 Walking & Locality”

Over the last few days, I’ve been busy churning stuff out about my interests. I’m not sure I’ve finished yet, but I am taking a break. Actually, the break is a juddering halt. Not to the 366, just tonight. Tonight I am reverting to my technique for dealing with writers block, which is to writeContinue reading “325/366 Ummm… I don’t know”

The picture was an accident, but once again it’s one I like, the thing about it is the background would normally involve views of Portchester, but because it was misty, the background is almost the same colour as the sea, it’s not the mono aspect, I think it’s more the minimalism. Over the last fewContinue reading “324/366 Interesting Projects”

A couple of weeks back, I had another go at doing a Vlog. The intention was to do five minutes on Fort Gilkicker. I’d done a little bit of historical research and knew roughly what I wanted to say. Of course, when I started recording it didn’t come out the way I wanted. I amContinue reading “323/366 Vlogging”

When I finish work, we like to sit and watch a programme on TV, at the moment we are watching Grey’s Anatomy using a streaming service. We have been having a frustrating issue, in that the device keeps losing network connectivity. It seems like this mostly happens when we are using our phones or tablets.Continue reading “322/366 A bit of a problem.”

I have hand written reporters note books, and hand written journals, almost literally going back decades. I’ve just been reading about things that I haven’t actually put a date on, but it relates to an event that happened (a nice event, a holiday) in 2007. That’s 14 years ago. In the mean time, I haveContinue reading “321/366 Writing”

I had a thing at one time, where the only books I would read were Science Fiction. I wouldn’t look at anything else. I think things might have been beginning to change but Covid definitely did something. I have many books on the book shelves that I bought with the intention of reading, and someContinue reading “320/366 Reading”

In 1976 My friend and I looked in to getting our Amateur Radio Operator Licence. For a whole variety of reasons, we didn’t take it any further. It all went away until 2016. In between times, the methods of gaining a radio operators licence became a little bit easier. Please don’t think of this asContinue reading “319/366 Being a Radio Ham”

At last, a picture that is at least partially related to the topic. How many times have laid on a patch of cool grass and just watched the clouds? Do you look for shapes in them? I quite often see dogs, especially Scottish terriers, and spaceships, I see a lot of them. Otherwise, I justContinue reading “318/366 Clouds and Pylons”
