It was a lovely walk this morning, the skies were clear, the screaming seagull took a dive at me, I waved my arms and diverted it. I hope I haven’t put it off, I quite enjoy our encounters. The walk down the high street is always interesting I usually see the same people. There’s aContinue reading “335/366 Tuesday”

No walk this morning, rain. I think I am likely to go tomorrow regardless of the weather. I haven’t had a collision of books for quite a while. I think I have given up on Bede for a while. It was just a feeling that although interesting, the book isn’t quite what I expected. WhyContinue reading “334/366 Mondays”

I took this picture yesterday, whilst in town. Looking at it in colour, it is a pretty banal shot, so I was on the verge of deletion, but then I thought I would make it mono. That one act, for me, turns it into an interesting picture, but I don’t know why. I have beenContinue reading “333/366 I visit a Bookshop”

OK, this is not a religious text. The capitalisation is intentional, in this case the EV in EVangilisation means Electric Vehicle. We bought one a few weeks back. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely car and an absolute delight to drive, but it’s an electric vehicle. If the government sticks to its plans,Continue reading “332/366 EVangelising”

It’s ridiculous isn’t it? here were are really not that far from 366, I still don’t really know what I am going to do next. And yet I do. It’s just letting it happen. In a way it won’t matter that I can drop the 366, and it won’t really matter if I don’t doContinue reading “331/366 What Next Then?”

A surprisingly pleasant looking little close right in the middle of the town. This isn’t far, less than 10’s of yards from North Cross Street. North Cross Street has become nervously entertaining on my morning walk; What are the chances that two people would be at the same point of their journey on two daysContinue reading “330/366 The morning walk”

These two beauties swam past the Haslar Marina Sea Wall. They weren’t in a rush. The water wasn’t really rough, but it was “busier” than normal. I had a vision of them paddling like crazy whilst maintaining the serene image they gave above. I have two magazines, with a possible third on the way, andContinue reading “329/366 A reading rush”

First thing this morning, when I woke up it was blowing a gale and absolutely chucking it down. I fell back asleep, and woke up just after the time I would normally be up. I hadn’t expected to get up or go out for a walk. The second time I woke up, I felt aContinue reading “328/366 Walking in the Rain”

I studied Geology at a very low level, for a very short period of time. We did a couple of field trips, one was to Barton-on-Sea, the area is known for the ease with which fossils can be found. Belemnites, small toothlike fossils molluscs. It was a lot of fun looking for them. We learnedContinue reading “327/366 Geology”

Not one of the best weeks for walking only just over 19 miles. So I made the Walk1000 but only just. I didn’t go out very much yesterday and I didn’t go out today. It’s unusual for me to have a bout of writers block. I hope that’s not a sign I’m running out ofContinue reading “326/366 Walking & Locality”
