It’s going to be a short one tonight. We were watching season two of DI Ray on ITVX, and I hadn’t realised that I’d fallen asleep. I work up five minutes from the end of the episode that I’d leapfrogged and wondered what was going on. That’s when I realised that it was time toContinue reading “1446 – A Sleeping moment”

I took the photograph because we were trying to find out some information about whatever it is I’m holding. That’s the thing, I can’t remember what it is I’m holding. Yesterday, I wrote about having a weeks worth of posts planned out. I suggested that I could have some headings available. Well, I’ve done that,Continue reading “1445 – How I got on with the topic headings”

With a little bit of planning, I’m sure I could have an idea of what I will be writing a few days ahead, unless something in particular happens of course. At the very least, I should have a weeks worth (minimum) of posts available. That will require a bit of effort of course, and doingContinue reading “1444 – Blog Topics”

Very annoyingly, earlier on today, I thought of a topic for quite a reasonable blog entry for this evening. Frustratingly, I didn’t write the gist of it down, even though I was sat at my desk, and very easily have done so. Of course, I have forgotten what it was. Really annoying as at theContinue reading “1443 – I forgot!”

It looks like people are starting to move in on the bus station. I expect demolition will start soon. I think the offices on the first floor may have been occupied until recently so I don’t know if there is much clearing to do before they start pulling it down. Even now, I am havingContinue reading “1442 – Here goes the bus station”

I recall writing a piece a few posts ago, I haven’t checked to see how far back it was. It was mainly about a person not blaming his tools for his inability to produce good work. I’ve done that in the past; “oh my camera isn’t good enough”, “Oh my radio isn’t good enough”. InContinue reading “1441 – Not blaming the tools”

The source of my unhappiness is my Amateur Radio situation. This is a hobby that I have neglected for over a year. I really went a bit pear shaped with it, and could not bring myself to self to use my licence. It’s bugging me. I know, all I have to do is pick upContinue reading “1440 – I am not happy”

On Saturday, I wrote about our visit to the Kempton Steam Museum. I commented on how magnificent I thoughtt the building was, but lamented the fact that I hadn’t taken a picture. Luckily, Elayne had. The height of the building reflects the need to house the 19 metre tall steam engines that’s it houses. WeContinue reading “1439 – Kempton Steam Museum”

We went for a lovely walk this morning, not too far, but there was loads of wildlife, especially birds, these Egyptian Geese were puttering on a bit of a display for us.\ We even saw a couple of Deer, there is a Rut on but the ones we saw were being lazy. I’ll put aContinue reading “1438 – A little bit of Bird watching”

I’m really quite annoyed with myself. Today, we visited an amazing museum; The Kempton Steam Museum. The museum hosts two giant steam engines, that from 1929 to the 1980’s was used to pump drinking water that had been filtered through various processes in to London. Each steam engine was capable of pushing 19 million gallonsContinue reading “1437 – Kempton Steam Museum”
