I went for a quick morning walk down to the waterfront. I wanted to see what was happening with the roadworks at Crossways. From the picture you can see that things are progressing. There’s a sign that was put up around June time, which said the roadworks would take 50 weeks. I haven’t really workedContinue reading “1215 – A walk into Town”

One of my readers, Clive, commented on yesterday’s post in response to my question regarding using real places in fictional writing. It was a good question. His response was a slight departure, suggesting writing fiction using models of real people. I have to say that I would stay well away from that. He was correctContinue reading “1214 – Fictional real places”

This is one grumpy cat, but only she knows why. Just to finish off the box set thing. We ordered, for a quite reasonable price the DVD’S for seasons one to five from the great provider. They arrived today, and we’ve started watching – excellent. I’ve set Elayne a mission; when she goes into aContinue reading “1213 – the box set, and a question”

Last night I told you about a boxset we had only just started watching (8 seasons, 96 episodes), we had got to around the 7th episode of 13 in season one when the streaming service flashed up a message saying that the whole series was coming to the end of its run and would beContinue reading “1212 – What happened next? (see 1211)”

Earlier this week we found a new boxset to watch. Like all of the box sets, we wonder how it is going to develop. In this case, we were hooked by the third episode. A couple of episodes later, we were slightly disturbed to see a message flash up on the screen saying that theContinue reading “1211 – binge watching”

I went for a walk this morning. Not a long one, just around the cockle ponds. It wasn’t so much the walk, but what was going on around me. It’s not spring time yet, still a few weeks to go, but there is definitely something in the air. Actually, it is the birds. The doves,Continue reading “1210 – The walk”

I kind ran out of time this morning. I was only able to take a quick walk around Walpole park, but at least I got out for a bit. When Misty came in she was just very slightly damp, but there was no sign that it was raining. Luckily though I decided to put myContinue reading “1209 – just a short walk”

The scene in the picture is the topic of tonight’s post. I say that because recently they’ve no connection. The scene used to be the taxi stand and ferry pick up point. It was a most useful area, and it worked very well, being only a few yards from the ferry terminal. It is beingContinue reading “1208 – Ferry Pick-up”

It feels like an absolute age since I last walked down the high street. I meant to yesterday, but just didn’t get around to it. I meant to get around to it today, and as it happens I did, leaving the house at a much more sensible 0715. I couldn’t find my flat cap, the cold ofContinue reading “1207 – Down the High Street”

Through the fence at the back of Gilkicker. Obviously, we didn’t really do nothing. Simply by existing, you are doing something. But, what I mean is I didn’t really do anything big like going for a walk which I had every intention of doing, but then never got around to it. I suppose I spent aContinue reading “1206 – A doing nothing day”
