Perhaps a subtitle should be; “For a Plan”, with a sub-subtitle of “to plan for a plan” for a blog. I’m not sure I can do that, it kind of changes the purpose of the blog, but on the other hand haven’t I been doing that? For many weeks now, I have been working reasonablyContinue reading “297/366 A Nice Day”

It appears that Friday, which is writing about writing is turning into a review of the weeks writings. After last weeks review, I found that it was a bit of a pain to go in to each blog, re-read it, make a note that I can write about. I bought an A5 diary towards theContinue reading “296/366 Diaries, Journals & Blogs”

Last night I spoke about photographic opportunities. Tonight I’m supposed to write about the weather, according to my self imposed schedule. I think today provided me with an opportunity for a photo that I like and a topic that I’m interested in. When I left the house for my morning walk, there was a distinctContinue reading “295/366 Opportunities”

What I wanted to do was to get the boat sat on top of the pole, I couldn’t go back any further without going over the side of the bridge, and I couldn’t move in the right direction to get the boat to line up. As it happens, I still like the picture, very much.Continue reading “294/366 Photographic Opportunities”

It’s been a strange day. Mostly I got everything done that I planned. The only trouble was whenever I sat down, I wanted to go to sleep. I sat down at about 2PM, and decided to just give in. I slipped in and out, and finally surfaced at about 4. Even at the weekend, IContinue reading “293/366 An Afternoon nap”

On my walk around Gosport today, I went to a part where I don’t normally go. No particular reason, it’s just not on my route. It’s along the waterfront at Gosport Marina, not Haslar Marina, the other one. It has been a gloriously sunny day, it was far too nice to stay in. I decidedContinue reading “292/366 Is this Gosport?”

I’ve just finished reading this months issue of country walking. There was an article about pieces of art placed in naturally beautiful locations. I acknowledge that I haven’t visited any of them. If I haven’t visited any of them, how can I possibly comment on them? Can I even ask the question is it appropriateContinue reading “291/366 Outside Art”

I caught this picture behind Trinity Church out on my afternoon walk. I’d had a good morning, clearing the birdseed out that the messy so and so’s chuck everywhere, but they are such a joy to watch that I don’t really mind. I had a bit of a stint on the microscopes, they are allContinue reading “290/366 Saturday”

I think I’ve realised the mistake I have been making with this photo. I’ve tried it several times, and although the reflection is excellent, it’s not as true as I can make it, because of the buildings in the upper part. I need to try it from a slightly different perspective. Learning something about aContinue reading “289/366 The Week”

It isn’t something that I’ve given any thought about. But I am excited to find that Gosport has several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It’s quite likely that in the past, I’ve been near one. But, I’ve never thought of it before. It’s another positive thing for which Gosport should be known. I had aContinue reading “288/366 SSSI’s”
