I was stood in the kitchen, and notoced some movement at the bottom of the garden. The fox had come ever the sheds and was quite calmly strolling down the garden path. I was at the sink, and made no attempt to hide myself. It was coming towards me, not in the least bit bothered.Continue reading “2120 – How casual can it get?”

2119 – An Astronomy Lecture
On the 2nd Friday of each month, the Hampshire Astronomy Group hosts a lecture in the Clanfield Memorial Hall. The lectures have an astronomy theme. I attended my first one tonight. The topic for tonight was radio cosmology, as opposed to radio astronomy.looks at the nature of the universe using radio waves. The lecture wasContinue reading “2119 – An Astronomy Lecture”
2118 – A Quick Look Out
I really must try and get a picture of another constellation. I had to go out at about twenty past 10 as I had forgotten to put the car on charge. I took the opportunity to take a quick loook at the sky. Bearing in mind that this is out the front of the house.Continue reading “2118 – A Quick Look Out”
2117 – u3a Wednesday
In the header picture I was trying to capture a small fish, and the phone was on the selfie stick, I wanted to get it as close to the water as i could. Of course, I didn’t mean to get me, or the phone. But the picture is interesting to me because it looks sightlyContinue reading “2117 – u3a Wednesday”
2116 – Camera Club Night
Tonight was the first competition of the camera club’s season. It was Projected Digitial Images (PDI’s), with an open subject. Because we are still getting our act together after the holiday, neither of us had prepared any images. We were disappointed, but just felt that on top of everything else, we weren’t going to rushContinue reading “2116 – Camera Club Night”
2115 – Astronomy
Tonight’s header picture is relevant in the sense that it was taken at the Hampshire Astronomy Group’s observation site. Tonights session was all about telescopes, from the early days, to today, and tomorrows devices, the largest currently under construction have a 39 metre mirror. But the part that I was most interested in was theContinue reading “2115 – Astronomy”
2114 – Letter to Steve XXIX – Conkers & Beech nuts
Dear Steve, The first thing that I noticed about Letter XXIX was its date. May. Given that it is now October, there’s a bit of difference in the context. The beginning and the end of the summer (kind of). I don’t think that is too much of a problem. When I first started looking atContinue reading “2114 – Letter to Steve XXIX – Conkers & Beech nuts”
2113 – Crossing the Atlantic
I asked my assistant what would be the next major geological feature that The Queen Mary 2 would sail over after the Georges Bank. Her response varied between the Sohm Abyssal Plain which is 4 – 5. KM beneath the ship, and The New England Seamounts, apparently extinct volcanoes that are 2,500mm above the plain.Continue reading “2113 – Crossing the Atlantic”
2112 – Friday
As it was Friday, this afternoon I would be working in the Charity shop where I volunteer. It’s only the afternoon, 1300-1630, 3.5 hours so it’s not overly onerous, indeed, I really enjoy interacting with the customers. The problem today was there weren’t many of them. Strangely though, it didn’t seem like that. Perhaps nextContinue reading “2112 – Friday”
2111 – Out for a Walk
On Monday and Tuesday this week, I managed to get out for some normal walks around the twon centre. I even managed to do Face Book entries for both the days. It’s good to keep in touch with family and friends. I couldn’t go out on Wednesday, well that’s not strictly accurate. I suppose IContinue reading “2111 – Out for a Walk”
