This is the only photograph I’ve taken today. I had problems getting to sleep last night, at least 2330 before my eyes felt like closing. I woke up at about 0610. The thing is, the way my mind works is that if I can’t leave the house before 0610 then I won’t have enough timeContinue reading “48/365 Not the way to do Photography”

Ok, I admit, not the most exciting picture. I set myself a little exercise this morning to photograph the streets or roads that I walk on during my normal morning route. This is Mumby Road not far from where I live. In addition to my morning walk, I need to do more exercise so I’veContinue reading “47/365 Out Walking”

It’s not so much writers block, it’s having a common theme that I can return to in the event that I can’t think of anything to write about. On FaceBook, I am well in to our fantasy holiday. I am wondering whether or not to do my next fantasy holiday here. That would ensure thatContinue reading “46/365 A morning sky”

There is a very obscure relationship between the picture of Knowlton Church and the subject of todays post. Recently, I wrote about being very excited at the prospect of starting to read Hubble Vision (2nd Ed, 1998). I was on page 51 and was reading about Hubble’s vision of Saturn, when I came to aContinue reading “45/365 Time Stops for no one.”

The photo has no relationship to the date or the title. Towards the end of February we were due to go to the Chinese Visa Bureau to get our visas for the holiday we had booked. We had to make a decision as t0 whether or not to bother. We didn’t and It was aContinue reading “44/365 Just before Lockdown began”

In the foreground, is the Medusa, the last of the 464 Harbour Defence Motor Launches that were built. Behind the Medusa is the Mary Mouse 2. MM2 was once a Trinity House lightship,. I suspect it may have been Covid that did for it. MM2 is now a restaurant, and we have eaten on herContinue reading “43/365 Trinity House Lightship”

This is the closest I’ve come to not doing a post. I was busy with the IoW Thursday night net, which went on a bit longer than usual. Ending up going straight to bed after, and the realising I hadn’t posted. I must do better.

I was sat here, in my chair, with the TV on, and I was thinking what do I write about tonight, and nothing came to me, so I had writers block. But then I thought, I know, I can write about writers block. So at the risk of writing absolute rubbish (and who’s to sayContinue reading “41/365 The Writers Block Paradox”

Stepping out the front door, ready for the morning walk, I look up to see what the sky has to show me. This morning, for the first time in several months I could see Orion. Also in the sky were Venus and Mars, with its distinct red colouring. Very nice to see Orion though, thisContinue reading “40/365 The Morning walk”

After a whole week away from my morning walk, it was very nice to get out again. Nothing spectacular, with only the ferries, the pilot boats, and one or two yatchs moving. It was slightly on the chilly side, but that was ok, not many people about as well. It was nice to get out.Continue reading “39/365 My Morning walk”
