I left the house around 0650 I paused briefly to think about the route for a quick one mile, just get in some steps. Started off down the road that I don’t usually follow in the morning. I was heading for the cockle ponds. It wasn’t much of a breeze, but what there was gaveContinue reading “1175 – routes”

Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. I managed to get out for a few minutes this morning. It was very pleasant, if a bit chilly. That was a side issue. What I really wanted was to try out my gimbal mount for my iPhone to make sure it was working. The poor performance came from myContinue reading “1174 – A quick stroll (PPPPP)”

I lost track of time. It’s now nearly 10 to midnight and I am running out of time to write a post. In that case, I apologise for the brevity of this post.

I went for a walk this morning. I left the house around 0645, it was only just over a mile, but better than nothing. The roadworks at the cross way are progressing. As I stood there looking at them one of the street cleaners was trying to pass me. I apologised for blocking him. WeContinue reading “1172 – A constellation of lights”

Back to work on Tuesday, and up until 0630 this morning I haven’t left the house, except to put the bin out. No exercise. I woke up this morning at 4AM. For the next two hours I knew that I needed to do some exercise. I’ve been thinking about when I could go for aContinue reading “1171 – Anxiety”

I have been thinking about what other activities I wanted to work on. One of them obviously is this blog. I’m pleased that I am working on it again, I hope it continues. Another activity I am very keen to work on is vlogging. Even if I never publish any of the videos, I wantContinue reading “1170 – More ambitions…or goals?”

I didn’t make any public New Year’s resolutions for 2024, here we are though. What plans, what goals do I have for the year? Well, for one I would very much like to improve my programming skills so I’ve committed a monitor to my raspberry pi 400, and going to have a go at python.Continue reading “1169 – The New Year”

As is a bit of a tradition on New Years Day, we went to the amusements, and spent a few pounds on the penny arcades. It’s something we only do once a year, so don’t begrudge it. Feeling a bit peckish we went and got some doughnuts, nice and sugary and just a bit crumbly.Continue reading “1168 – Starlings”

Difficult to choose the most iconic picture of the year, but here it is. At New Year’s Eve last year, I wished you all a prosperous and happy new year. I knew it would happen at some point, but on the 20th of March we said goodbye to Rascal, with many tears. The only certaintyContinue reading “1167 – Goodbye 2023, Hello 2024”

I have a 10-trip ferry ticket. The problem with the ticket is that it has an odd number of trips taken. It means that I would end up with a trip that I either couldn’t use, or would have to buy another ticket for the return journey, perpetuating the issue of the odd number of journeys.Continue reading “1166 – Today”
