Last week when we went to Chichester, I bought a new coat. I think it was quite a good deal a 50% reduction in price followed by a further 20% reduction due to my having a voucher. I haven’t worn the coat in anger yet. I made the decision not to wear the new coatContinue reading “1466 – Monday Morning Walk”

This is not a 100% accurate inglenook layout, but it will do for my needs. Amongst other things, that is learning how to lay track, and will include installing points motors, and wiring for a DCC network. I have a choice of do I put cork under the track, or not? Should use track pinsContinue reading “1465 – The Model Railway”

I had several opportunities to take pictures today. Unfortunately, they weren’t really on my mind. No particular reason, they just weren’t. It was a fairly active day, I think I did more steps that I have doe for the previous five days. Not doing anything particularly special, just walking in to town, exploring the charityContinue reading “1464 – Saturday”

This is a bit of a placeholder. With the exception that I was going to use the header picture in our upcoming abstract competition in the camera club. But not after the judge gave us an education on “abstraction” (is that a word)? It’s quite clear in the picture that the base object is aContinue reading “1463 – At the moment”

It’s just over a month before winter formally begins on the 21st of December. These last few mornings, the temperature has been in single figures. Plus when there’s a bit of a breeze the windchill felt negative. I’m bleating – none of that helps me get up for a walk in the morning. In mostContinue reading “1462 – Cold”

Back in September Elayne and I joined the Gosport Camera Club, mainly because this is an activity we can do together. The Club season runs from September to May, culminating in the exhibition in the Discovery Centre. The pictures that are shown in the exhibition are chosen over the 8 competitions (4 print and 4Continue reading “1461 – 9.5 & 8.5”

On the 14th of August 2020 I decided that I would commit to doing a post a day for a year. I started with 1/365. There was a point where I remembered that 2020 was a leap year, so I changed it to x/366. I probably didn’t have to do that. It was quite aContinue reading “1460 – There’s that number”

The really frustrating thing is that I need to get out for a walk every day. I’m not doing this, but I need to. The most obvious time for me to get out is around 0600. The problem with that is, especially this time of the year, it’s cold and dark (I wouldn’t walk anywayContinue reading “1459 – Looking at the week ahead”

We have a competition coming up in the camera club. The subject is abstract. To be honest, I’m not really sure what that means when it comes to photos. A couple of weeks ago the club night was about abstract. There are a couple of people in the club who are really quite good inContinue reading “1458 – Abstract”

One of those evenings I’m afraid when absolutely nothing comes to mind. I really cant think of anything to write about,.
