I think it is onne of those days where movement, or lack of it has been a priority. I’ve spent most of the day in the office, apart from the odd interval like lunch and tea, oh and 20 minutes in the garden chair with a good magnum ice lolly. I’ve managed to reduce theContinue reading “2086 – A very relaxed Saturday”

2085 – Friday, in the shop
I do Friday afternoons in a local charity shop. If I am completely honest, the main reason why I volunteered is because i was upset that the British Heart Foundation (BHF) shop in the high street had closed. The BHF had by far the best 2nd hand. book section of all of the charity shopsContinue reading “2085 – Friday, in the shop”
2084 – No Walk – No Facebook
There is no point in my stressing about it. I guess the word is “Spontaneous”. the Facebook walks arise from the immediate experience. It provides the material for the post. If I don’t walk, no material, no Facebook post. It sounds a bit blunt, but it’s the way my brain works I’m afraid. These blogContinue reading “2084 – No Walk – No Facebook”
2083 – 12 August Solar Eclipse
The solar eclipse wasn’t total in the UK. The picture above was taken at around 19:12 hours local time, here in Gosport. The coverage was supposed to be around 93% I don’t think this is far off it. Whilst I didn’t see first bite, I did catch early engagement. Knowing what was happening, how theContinue reading “2083 – 12 August Solar Eclipse”
2082 – Larry Niven & Sunflowers
If you don’t know Larry Niven’s work, it might seem strange to link a science fiction author to a nice, but innocuous plant like a sunflower. In his “Known Space’” series of stores, the kind of sunflowers he writes about are not the cute innocent plants that we know. Instead, their mirror like surfaces reflectContinue reading “2082 – Larry Niven & Sunflowers”
2081 – A photograph & a walk
These two watering cans have been moving around the garden. Over the weekend, they were on the love chairs, but Elayne painted those yesterday, so they had to be moved. They had caught my eye and I’ve just not managed to take the photo, until today. For some reason, the two cans (well, one isContinue reading “2081 – A photograph & a walk”
2080 Letter to Steve XXV
Dear Steve, Gilbert devotes the entirety of his Letter XXV to birds and reptiles, especially smelly snakes (snakes that generate a smell to defend themselves). The weather at the moment really prevents me from going anywhere unless I absolutely have to. I can’t match that. It’s been too hot for me to have been veryContinue reading “2080 Letter to Steve XXV”
2079 – Blog activity
Looking back, I’ve realised that it is not far short of a month and a half since I last posted a photo that deliberately includes the Spinnaker. In the past, I could take, even if I don’t post, several pictures at a time. I want to talk just briefly about a series of posts thatContinue reading “2079 – Blog activity”
2078 A tale of confusion
I’m reading the 86th Newsletter from the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society (HFC&AS) at one point, the writer of a landsccaspe article recommends that everyone should have a copy of The History of the countryside by Oliver Rackham. I should say that I don’t normally rush out every book that I see recommmended, butContinue reading “2078 A tale of confusion”
2077 – Feed The Birds
This cloud caught my eye today. I thought it’s shape was very close to the shape of Cyprus. I did look out for others, but didn’t see anything. Very nice to just watch the clouds for a while though. You get two pictures today. We walked in to town with our Granddaughter, and stopped atContinue reading “2077 – Feed The Birds”
