Firstly, I need to apologise for last nights post. It really was quite a dreadful piece of writing. I was supposed to write about the weather. I wanted to make it an article about meteorology rather than just the weather, but I lost it completely. It was a case of just get something published. IContinue reading “282/366 Writing the Week”

I don’t know what kind of clouds these are. I know they aren’t cirrus or stratus, they’re storm clouds? I think Cumulonimbus Nimbus are the high thundercloud. What all of this is leading up to is that I am a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, because I always look at and admire the clouds.Continue reading “281/366 The Weather”

I’ve said before that I am reading Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Written in the year 731. I have to confess, that for the first time since I started this blog project, I am having major problems writing about a book that I am reading. For the time being, I think I amContinue reading “280/366 Book of the week”

The walk to the waterfront usually takes me just about 10 minutes. I follow the same route most of the time. As I leave the house, I look up at the sky, to see what it looks like. I’ve looked at it once already out of the bedroom window, but that was 10 minutes ago,Continue reading “279/366 The Waterfront”

If I am going to devote tonight’s piece about the latest issue of Black & White Photography, I really should have a B&W photo at the head. I must admit that of the photos I took today, this I thought would be the least worst picture in B&W. But actually, it’s not too bad, evenContinue reading “278/366 B&W Issue 252”

There are a couple things I want to write about this evening. The first I think are the birds. Mainly starlings, like everywhere they seem to work as small teams or perhaps families. We have at least one crowd who visit us on a regular basis several times a day. They will go for theContinue reading “277/376 Stuff”

I went for a walk. I did the usual route, one thing I wanted to do was check on the Jelly Fish, only to find that they had open the sluice and were emptying the pond. I found the drain If you use what three words it’s cooks.onions.grow. I stood there for a few minutesContinue reading “276/366 Saturday Walk”

You might have noticed that I had two 267’s. Now, if it had been 2×167’s I wouldn’t have bothered to change, but these were close enough that it was worth changing. In my mind, it wasn’t a mistake to start this exercise. I didn’t know if I would go full term, I still don’t know,Continue reading “275/366 Mistakes”

It was a grey morning, rain was threatening, there was a bit of a breeze blowing. The tide was low, the clouds were low and heavy, it felt quite oppressive, it felt gloomy. I did my weather report as usual from the end of the Haslar Marina Pier Wall, a police launch swung by asContinue reading “274/366 Gloomy!”

Yesterday I wrote about the desire to have a thread running through my writing. As i suggested, History is a huge component of Gosport, my words were “absolutely stuffed” and that is the case. The picture at the head of todays post is that of Gosport’s Victorian rail station. One thing that you won’t seeContinue reading “273/366 A history of Gosport”
