I’ve been a bit under the weather these last couple of days. I keep on trying to sleep, but fail. I didn’t go to the camera club. I didn’t think they would appreciate my spreading this around. I took a day off work. I messaged my boss on whatsapp, the last time I did thatContinue reading “1629 – Still have a cold.”

It’s a bit of a stinker, my nose is making a serious effort to increase water flow in the harbour, and my body has told my brain, in no uncertain terms, that it is going to bed, which is where I am now. I still have every intention of going for a walk in theContinue reading “1628 – I have cold”

Since we joined the Gosport Camera Club I have been using my Nikon a lot more. To be honest I’m not massively impressed with the results. Let me make something clear; I am not blaming the camera for my dissatisfaction, it is entirely down to my lack of skill with the camera, and that IContinue reading “1627 – The Nikon question again”

The picture was taken yesterday, it bears no relation to today’s post. A while ago, we took delivery of a new set of garden furniture. We were only able to assemble it today. It came in three rather big & heavy boxes. Initially, we thought we were lucky that to assemble the furniture would onlyContinue reading “1626 – A nut, a bolt & deleted expletives”

The Commodore Clipper zips past the Spinnaker. Luckily it’s just a photographic effect. I have to confess that I so very nearly didn’t get up and go for a walk this morning. I could very easily have stayed in bed. But as is usually the case, having got up and got out, I am pleasedContinue reading “1625 – The Morning”

I took this picture this morning. It’s a fairly major change from even yesterday. Obviously, there’s a fair bit of activity going on behind the screen. I reckon the next this is the Burton branding will go. It might even be gone by tomorrow. What I should have done before now, is look at theContinue reading “1624 – Linkage”

During the week I am trying to get back into doing a regular facebook post in the morning. Sometimes, it would be so easy to make the posts here a duplicate of the morning’s writings, but that would be lazy. Sometimes, I would like to make this a follow on, or slightly deeper comment fromContinue reading “1623 – This Blog & Jellyfish”

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”
