We went to London today. We arrived at Waterloo, needing to get to Leadenhall Street. Never been there before, it’s near the Bank of England. We took the Waterloo & City line – that’s one I’ve never used before, but it was convenient. Only to stops Waterloo & Bank which means that you pay onlyContinue reading “1523 – London”

No, we haven’t acquired a new pet. Although I think Elayne would quite happily have adopted one tonight. Jim one of the Camera Club members has a spaniel which has given birth to a litter of six of the most beautiful little puppies. The camera club had arranged for them to be brought in tonightContinue reading “1522 – Puppies”

I really didn’t want to get up this morning, well, it’s not that I didn’t want to get up, I just didn’t want to get out of a nice, warm very comfortable bed, into what felt like a really quite cold morning. But I did want to be up, and go out for a walk.Continue reading “1521 – Out for a walk”

I apologise for the now corrected typo from yesterdays post. I wanted to write about a couple of things that occurred on my walk home from the ferry yesterday. I was due to do my talk to the camera thing, day 12 I think it must be (day 14, review of the week is dueContinue reading “1520 – Good Reasons”

I took a bit of time out today, to get out and use my bus pass. I never caught a bus from Gosport Bus Station when it was open. So I walked into town and arrived at the new interchange. As it happens there was an E2 bus waiting. As I boarded the bus, IContinue reading “1519 – On the Busses”

I only mention YouTube tonight because it seems to have gone a bit mad with the Over 40’s taking over, and claiming that people can be successful with not many followers. Without taking self-satisfaction into account I have to say I thought that was one of the main reasons for posting on the medium. IContinue reading “1518 – YouTube”

To be honest, I just didn’t want to get up this morning. It was the first proper opportunity to get up and go for a walk (weather and timing), but I got out of bed and instead of getting dressed for a walk, I went and made a cup of tea, and went back toContinue reading “1517 – Lazy”

The location of this picture is in the Alver Valley Nature Reserve. It’s next to a place delightfully named The Apple Dumpling Bridge. It’s a medieval site. Just a few yards behind me is the site of the Rowner Motte & Bailey. A Motte and Bailey is a small castle like structure usually on aContinue reading “1516 – Points of Interest”

The topic for our next camera club competition, is Abstract. It’s prints. We spent a bit of time yesterday getting the prints ready, we got them professionally printed at a local printing office, and A3 print is quite reasonably priced there and lot of people from the club use it. We were in a bitContinue reading “1515 The Mad Rush…”

I should have recorded the weather stats yesterday, it would have been a good marker. The pressure reading was 972mb. Last year sometime we had a pressure of 980 something, I think that was the lowest I had seen for a very long time. Overnight we reached a pressure of 972mb (actually, that was atContinue reading “1514 – The Weather”
