For whatever reason, Monday’s posts are the most difficult. It’s the one where I have to get the creative juices flowing. Quite often, I’m thrashing around trying to find something to write about. I’m watching a youtube clip about street photography, Fan Ho, Nan Goldin, Martin Parr – names that I’ve never heard of, butContinue reading “Monday”

And I do mean lazy. About the most effort was my going to get the newspapers, a five minute walk in each direction. Somehow though, just traipsing around, I’ve managed to clock up my 10,000 steps. Not sure how I did that. Just after midday, Elayne and I decided that we would drive to Lee-on-The-SolentContinue reading “Sunday 01 March – A lazy day”

I had arranged to take my bike in to Cycle world for it’s first service today. Just about two months after I bought it. The first two services are free, so it seems silly not to take advantage. I did say that I would have the bike at the shop for when it opened, soContinue reading “A lovely sight”

I didn’t go for a walk this morning. I awoke at 0255 and then couldn’t get back to sleep, well not until 0500 anyway. Of course I then went out like a light and awoke at about 0610. As it happens, I wouldn’t have gone for a walk anyway, as it was chucking it down.Continue reading “Thursday 27 Feb”

It wasn’t freezing for my early walk, but not far from it. Temperatures of around 3.5C and a 3 or 4 knot breeze making it feel even chillier meant that I would have appreciated a set of ear muffs. But it wasn’t too bad. The morning skies are brightening rapid;y now, bring some colour toContinue reading “It’s a bit chilly.”

I caused a stir in the household last night. I had to buy a new tyre for my bike, and bought a new tube also (luckily, as it happens) i had fitted everything and pumped the tube up, at about 60Psi, I realised that the tyre hadn’t seated correctly, and was off the wheel rim.Continue reading “Causing a stir”

Getting a puncture on Thursday evening was annoying. It wasn’t as if I had ridden over some glass or a nail. The wind had blown my bike off the stand. The bike falling over had caused the tube to puncture, it was only a pin prick of a hole, but in the past I’ve neverContinue reading “Dog Sled Racing”

At least, I think I am. That doesn’t mean I start with ideas that are good. I think if something, want to do it, apply a limited amount of planning, start it and then, usually, it requires too much effort and so I have to let it drop, or it is never as quick, orContinue reading “I’m a Starter, and not a finisher”

The difficulty I have is writing twice a day. I start the day usually by going for a walk, which I then write briefly about on my Facebook page that only family and friends can see. When it comes to the evening blog my brain has pretty much dried up. That’s why, if you haveContinue reading “Thursday 20 Feb 2020”

Is it really this long since I last wrote? Not very consistent for a blog that I would like to become famous (I’m joking – am I?). Why did I stop writing. Unfortunately I kind of lost the plot really. As I have said previously, I have a desire to write, but I have noContinue reading “Wednesday, 19 Feb”
