Just a brief comment about last nights post. It looks like we are planning to do the walk next year, not 2023. Stand by whilst things are sorted. I’ve titled today’s posts Projects as a bit of a reflection of activities. Why, for example, have i done nothing with the model railway? or why IContinue reading “890 – Projects”

The Serpent trail is a winding, twisting 64 mile walk that covers three counties, starting in Haslemere and ending at Petersfield. Alex has suggested we should do the walk later in the year. I’ve said yes. To be honest, I really do want to do it. I’m not at all bothered by the prospect. ThereContinue reading “889 – is an intention a commitment?”

I had left last nights post far too late, hence its feebleness. Sorry about that. I thought I would write a little bit about audio books. I have an account with audible, I pay about £7 a month for which I get a credit. The credit buys a book, which could if bought independently couldContinue reading “888 – Last Night & Audio Books”

I repeated the bird food experiment today. It did not go well. The birds and the squirrels got their food. I didn’t get out to check the table to see what was left. Not to worry, I don’t think the birds are complaining – they are being fed.

Normally, when I put the bird food out I layer it in the plastic pot I use. Ground up peanuts at the bottom, mealworms in the middle and no-grow birdseed on the top. i then just upend the pot on to the birdtable, andd let them get on with it. The birds waste a lotContinue reading “886 – Wednesday An Experiment”

I managed to get out for a walk today at lunchtime. It was a bit nippy, but nice. Usual track down to the waterfront and back. HMS Queen Elizabeth was undocked and looking at Marine Traffic (AIS) she’s not back in her berth. The High Street reasonably busy, with the usual Tuesday Market set up.Continue reading “885 – Tuesday”

The No morning walk situation is getting a bit dire. Today, it would have been the only exercise I had. I wasn’t able to get out at lunchtime, which was frustrating. I woke up in time to go for the walk, but I just couldn’t get out of bed. I am very aware that thisContinue reading “884 – The frosted rain gauge”

Elayne was going with Sian to a Wedding Fair in the Paulsgrove area. Elayne asked if I wanted to go. I didn’t really want to go to the fair, but it occurred to me that I could go there and walk down to Gunwharf. It couldn’t be two far. Google maps said it was aboutContinue reading “883 – Out for a walk”

Whenever I go for a walk during shop opening hours, I always try to walk past a certain hardressers on Stokes Road. That’s because they usually have a little board outside, with a saying or something. Today’s made me smile; It’s like winter is mad, and keeps storming out. But then it comes back inContinue reading “883 – Saturday”

It’s the weekend. Friday evening. I should have gone to the radio club, it was partly I thought we were going to have a zoom meeting about RAYNET, we didn’t and partly because I just didn’t feel like it. So, we’ve ended up watching the original Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy. A 1979 TV series. IContinue reading “882 – The Weekend”
