OK, I’ve played with the colours a little bit, but it is brighter than the original. I did a facebook post this morning. The frustrating thing is that I always enjoy doing them, I think they are a little bit more personal than these posts, yet in many respects they aren’t. It seems right thatContinue reading “1713 – Tuesday’s Walk”

I could very easily have not got up this morning, but I did, I find it hard to describe my thinking around my reluctance to get up, or get out. I guess it doesn’t help that bed is so comfortable, and it is a degree of I can’t be bothered. But then the other sideContinue reading “1712 – Monday”

Looking at the weather app, tomorrow morning (Monday) promises to be bright and sunny. The radio is on charge, so apart from me feeling stressed about getting up (which I don’t at the moment) there’s nothing to keep me from going for a walk in the morning. Tuesday could be different though. There is anContinue reading “1711 – The week ahead”

It’s a bit like vlogging in that there will probably be quite few posts on the matter until it actually happens, and then possibly beyond. I was determined that I wasn’t going to retire until my 70th birthday, in about 18 months time, I felt entirely comfortable with that until fairly recently, when some kindContinue reading “1710 – Retirement”

Tonight, it bending Friday, we went to the chippy. Elayne had Fish & Chips & I had jumbo battered sausage Y& chips. We took our food to Lee-on-the-Solent and parked up in the big car park. Because it was past 1900, parking was free which was good. We really enjoyed our meal, we watched aContinue reading “1709 Friday = Fish & Chips”

It obviously isn’t a blank page, but I have just spent the last 15 or so minutes staring at the web page that had only the number 1708 at the top – at least I knew that. I was really stuck for something to write about this evening, quite simply, I really couldn’t think ofContinue reading “1708 – Blank Page”

I took this, this morning, I was sat on the waterfront having breakfast. It’s the Whitonia, one of the bunkering ships, heading out of Portsmouth. Breakfast? Oh, it was a breakfast wrap and a hash brown from the new McDonalds. I had missed the first day of opening, but had promised my self a breakfastContinue reading “1707 – First Breakfast”

I haven’t written about vlogging very much at all over recent weeks. I think it is time to take another look at what is going on in the high street. I may do that tomorrow if I wake up in time, like I didn’t this morning. I’ve also had an idea for a photo projectContinue reading “1706 – Vlogging”

A pigeon doing some square-bashing. Totally unrelated to today’s post. Waking up at around 4AM, as I usually do, I consulted the weather app which told that it would be raining at 0600. I went back to sleep. I was conscious again at around 0545, sufficiently so to get up and look out the window.Continue reading “1705 Do I or Don’t I?”

The Arrow, a relatively small container/cargo ship coming into the harbour today. I was lucky to catch her as it has been several days I was last at the waterfront, and I had only been there to meet the ferry. It’s a bit of a short post today, tired and later than I wanted itContinue reading “1704 – The Arrow”
