If you read last week’s piece about the vlog. You’ll know that one of the decisions I am having difficulty with is where to do the to the camera bit. I thought today that if the weather were OK, I could do it out doors. Today, it has mostly been raining there was a pointContinue reading “170/366 The Vlog”

As I wrote last week, I wanted to end up at one place, where I knew what I could write about weeks ahead. I am not there yet. Will I ever be? I really like the moleskin notebooks, very nice quality. My first journal was a moleskin, as was the second (the current one). TheyContinue reading “169/366 Getting organised to write”

I do like the way the morning lights of the Spinnaker and the “Lipstick” have been diffused by the low laying cloud. The weather plays such a significant role in almost every part of our lives that it is pretty much impossible to ignore. One of the first things I do when I get upContinue reading “168/366 Weather Watching”

There was a fog in the Solent. It either hadn’t reached here, or was receding. The low cloud was causing the lights on the spinnaker to become diffuse. I didn’t notice it when I took the picture. But I like it. I have set myself a goal of writing about photography every Wednesday night. I’veContinue reading “167/366 Taking the Photograph”

In Gosport, there isn’t just this waterfront, there is a stretch to the North, just the other side of the Explosion Museum (well worth a visit) and along Stokes Bay by Alverstoke is the Golden Mile. A very pleasant and popular walk. You will find people on these walks in just about any weather. StokesContinue reading “166/366 The Waterfront”

I’m not suggesting that HMS Warrior is of the same class as a clipper, but I did think it was appropriate to have a picture of a ship from the era of the clipper ships, and having been built in 1859, she is definitely of that time. I am now about halfway through the book,Continue reading “165/366 Book of the Week Clippers”

This week I’ve managed to clock up just over 20 miles. For some people, that isn’t much, but for me it’s a reasonable distance. For the month that’s about 70 miles, which keeps me on target for the Walk 1000 project. Out for my walk this morning, I covered the route I normally take. TheContinue reading “164/366 Out for a walk”

Why do I want to do a Video Blog (Vlog)? The thing is, I have nothing to sell; I have no particular message; my audience is anybody who wants to watch me; I enjoy using the technology, although editing is not easy, and thinking of what I want to say is a not easy either.Continue reading “163/366 Vlogging”

Tonight’s task for my blog, is to write about writing. It’s all very well to put in place a plan that says on Fridays, you will write about writing, but then every week, you have to think up new aspects of writing to discuss. How am I going to do this? one thing for definite,Continue reading “162/366 What to Write?”

With today being Thursday, I have managed to get out three out of the four days this week. I have no idea what the weather is going to be doing in the morning, but if it it even raining only just a little bit, I am likely to go for a walk. One of myContinue reading “161/366 I manage to get out”
