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”

Out for my lunchtime walk, rain was threatening, but didn’t arrive. The sky looks very angry though, but it was OK, I enjoyed the walk. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a model railway layout. It doesn’t have to be a big one, I keep on having ideas about what IContinue reading “317/366 Model Railways”

When I was at school, history was one of my favourite subjects. I suppose because it was easy to study, not like physics or chemistry, where you actually had to do things to find out stuff. After I finished school, I went to college and pleased to have history as a subject was not happyContinue reading “316/366 History”

Once again, the picture doesn’t bear any relationship to the topic. THe subject, a shopping trolley is in that position as the result of an act of vandalism. Why does it end up in a picture that I really like. That is incredibly frustrating. With the membership of a committee comes responsibilities. Now, I quiteContinue reading “315/366 Committees”

I said in last nights post, that I knew what I wanted to write about Astronomy. There is nothing in this picture that’s is in anyway related to Astronomy. It was just nice to get out this morning after yesterdays rain. There several moments in time when I realised I really enjoyed Astronomy. My Brother-in-lawContinue reading “314/366 Astronomy”
