I needed to get some cash this morning, so I thought I would turn the trip out into a quick walk. Heading for Asda, I was disappointed to find both of their cashpoints offline. Oh well, I might as well head in to town. I took the route alongside Haslar Lake. Why am I surprisedContinue reading “2144 – Camera Club & Acorns”

2143 – Astronomy course Week 7
The only conceivable linkk that this picture has with Astronomy, is that the fungi remind me of the first time Captain Scarlet saw the Mysteron’s Martian base. Yes, I agree, tenuous in the extreme, but there you go. Tonight’s two and a bit hours, were as usual very interesting and informative. Steve, the course insztructorContinue reading “2143 – Astronomy course Week 7”
2142 Letter to Steve XXXIII – Migration & Nature
Dear Steve, Reading Gilbert’s letter XXXIII about the migration of birds and how UK birds can be found in places like Gibraltar. That led me to ask; “what should I do if I find a ringed bird”? My thinking being that if I were to find a dead bird with a ring on its leg,Continue reading “2142 Letter to Steve XXXIII – Migration & Nature”
2141 – Things to Do
This morning, I went across to Portsmouth to meet up with some of my amateur radio friends in the Royal Maritime Club, where they do a very acceptable buffet breakfast. As we normally do, afterwards we sat in the rotunda for a bit of a chinwag, and then went our separate ways. We normally doContinue reading “2141 – Things to Do”
2140 – They are fixing the fountain
I had lost track of time. Really, I fell asleeep at my desk. I was going to write a short piece about how the fountain on the Falklands Gardenss hasn’t worked for several years. I read somewhere recently that the council were going to get it fixed. And, lo and behols, here are some peopleContinue reading “2140 – They are fixing the fountain”
2139 – Back to normal & Videoing (yes, that’s not vlogging)
After the slight mess up about the nummbering of my blogs (I’m not saying I haven’t done this before, it has just never come to light on quite this scale, at least. Thanks to a comment by my friend Mark, I’ve deccided to leave things as they are. The mis-numbering sequence stands as a beaconContinue reading “2139 – Back to normal & Videoing (yes, that’s not vlogging)”
2099 – NO -IT’S NOT! IT’S 2138
I did a search because I wanted to find out the last time I did a blog about vlogging. It immediately threw up an anomally. It showed Post 2092 as being a post of interest. Well, that wasn’t right, according to my post numbering, that was only last week, plus the topic of 2092 wasContinue reading “2099 – NO -IT’S NOT! IT’S 2138”
2098 – Camera Club
We had a bit of a change of tyhe programme tonight. The club has been asked by the council if we can help in a project. It appears that the council has a lot of old photographs of Gosport, and somebody, I’m not sure who is leading the project, wants to update them. Sorr, I’mContinue reading “2098 – Camera Club”

2096 – Letter to Steve XXXII, Latin & The New Forest
Dear Steve, Gilbert’s opening paragraph is largely Latin to me—in more ways than one. I can follow what he is trying to establish, but the detail makes me conscious of how much I don’t know, and of the opportunities to learn that I am not making for myself. What do I mean by that? GilbertContinue reading “2096 – Letter to Steve XXXII, Latin & The New Forest”
