When I’m out for my morning walk, whaikt I like to do is get the sun lined up behind the Spinnaker. Today’s picture was no different from the hundreds of others I’ve taken, except I really quite like this one. Last night, I didn’t do a post. I think about ten minutes before I wentContinue reading “1333 – Hobbies”

We spend a fair bit of time in the garden, just sitting, taking things in. We love it. Part of it, actually quite a big part for me, are the birds. I love that they visit the feeding stations whilst we are in the garden. I think they have learned at least to a degreeContinue reading “1332 – Fat Alberts”

I don’t have a picture of the ivy, but we have a patch out the front of our house that needs trimming back plus the growing plants that cover our shelter are getting a bit wild and need removing. At least part of the weekend then, will be taken up with this kind of activity.Continue reading “1331 – The Ivy”

No, the picture has absolutely nothing to do with sparrows, or my forgetting to do a post last night. Except a blind alley which is causing me a lot, and I mean a lot of frustration. I’m playing with a spreadsheet, and I am trying to do something with the INDEX and MATCH functions, workingContinue reading “1330 – A Treatise on the feeding habits of Sparrows (or how I forgot to do a post last night)”

I was looking for a general picture of the high street. I was very surprised to find that searching back through all of the pictures I have taken in the last year, this was the closest I could get. Gosport is like any town, it has its good bits, and it’s bad bits. I, personally,Continue reading “1329 – The High Street”

Yes, yes, I know. The birds in the picture are not sparrows. I started getting serious about putting hanging feeders out a couple of weeks back. I had been putting fat balls out, but the birds appeared not to like them. I admit, they were cheep. 150 for £17. Who would. Think sparrows would beContinue reading “1328 – Sparrows”

I would like to plan some blogging activities. In order to do that I need to do things. Like for example, getting up in the mornings and going for a walk on a regular basis. I can’t be 100% certain of doing that, but I will try. I continue to read The Plantagenets, we areContinue reading “1327 – The week ahead”

I went into The Range today (well, it was yesterday, but that’s part of the distraction, I’ll write about that in a minute) I was looking for Ericacious compost, which until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of, and of which until a couple of minutes before walking in to The RangeContinue reading “1326 – The Discerning Shopper and a distraction…”

I have been reading The Plantagenets I’m at present reading about King. John, it’s around 1204 or 1205, John has lost nearly all his lands in France, and is becoming dependent on income only from England. I’ve been reading that King John is moving around the country, a lot. Taking with him a huge entourage,Continue reading “1325 – I had a question…”

I’ve never vlogged, video’d a couple of very short (what is the correct terminology – what would have made it easy would have been to say either; I videoed a couple of short videos, but that doesn’t feel right. I filmed a couple of short videos? Now, that “feels” right, but is it appropriate toContinue reading “1324 – I’m still not vlogging”
