Following on then, from the episode where I was labelled “weird” by a young chap in the high street, I guess that I should announce that some time in the next couple of weeks, somewhere in town, probably on Trinity Green between the Millennium Sundial and the church, I will be undertaking activities that areContinue reading “1622 – Odd, no weird activities.”

You might gather we have spent a few days visiting good friends in the town. On Saturday I had to go into town to pick up a couple of things. A lot is happening to the town square. It is apparently causing a bit of controversy, something to do with the length of time toContinue reading “1621 – St Neots”

We had been visiting our friends, Helen and Mark in the Offords, and were on our way home, when we were stopped at the road leading to Toseland by a (non-police) motorcyclist in the road, with hazards flashing, allowing motorbikes off the Toseland road onto the main road. A lot of bikes, I mean aContinue reading “1620 – Motorbikes”

Walking over the bridge I was greeted by a collection of swans that must have decided that I was going to give them lunch, because they all started to come towards me. It was only after I had offered my most profuse apologies that they realised I was of no use to them that theyContinue reading “1619 – A Bevy”

The picture has nothing to do with the topic of this evenings post. I wrote a bit of a skit on a whatsapp group that went along the lines of I had a conversation with the Station Manager (my wife, Elayne – Radio Amateurs call their their partner “The Station Manager”) around some rubbish binsContinue reading “1618 – Frustration”

Over the last few weeks I’ve been reading the book about TED talks, the situation about the Gosport TEDx hasn’t been sorted as far as I’m aware, and that means that I am back onto the history book again. This Tim about the early Stuart Monarchy, with James VI of Scotland not yet crowned kingContinue reading “1617 – Book of the moment”

There may be a bit of a problem with the TEDx scheduled for Gosport in November. I don’t have the full story yet, and hopefully I will find out soon, but I had an interesting phone call this morning. A bit of intrigue? Possibly. In the meantime, I’m having a bit of fun developing aContinue reading “1616 – Gosport TEDx & The Bus Station”

I don’t have a picture that captures the essence of tonight’s club activity, so I’ve used one of the pictures I took on this morning’s walk. I must admit, when I took the picture I didn’t notice the ring of light arcing across the top of the ship from the tip of the Spinnaker. Anyhow,Continue reading “1615 – Camera Club & TEDx”

I went for a walk this afternoon. I wanted to try out a new videoing set up, it did mean walking around town carrying something a bit strange; monopod, with a bracket upon which were mounted the GoPro and the iPhone. The thing I wanted to do was get a record of all of theContinue reading “1614 – A Weirdo – apparently”

I felt “normal” when I got up this morning and that feeling continued right up until just before lunchtime. We had family around so it was going to be a big meal, lots of veg to prepare it was all fine, the family turned up, all lovely and good and then I sat down. IContinue reading “1613 – Feeling Normal”
