We went for a walk today, not a long one, but it did involve a couple of steep-ish slopes. We got to the point, a gate where I had initially suggested we walk to, and as we were on it seemed reasonable to carry on to what we hoped might be the top of hill.Continue reading “904 – out for a walk”

Nothing quite like it. We went for a walk through the woods today. It was really quite pleasant. We saw a muntjac deer in the distance, was a fleeting glimpse of one or two seconds as it slipped into the undergrowth, and quite a few yards away, but it was quite distinctive. Lovely to see.Continue reading “903 – Mud, Glorious Mud”

The really frustrating things about ev charging revolve around when you do it away from home. Perhaps the biggest bugbear is whether the charger is working. My view is that it must be a legal requirement that who ever owns a publicly available charging point must have a response plan in place for when itContinue reading “902 – EV Charging & Beer”

During a conversation this evening, was reminded of a couple of visits to places that at various times I had always wanted to go. One of the first library books I took out of hte grownup section of Wareham Library was the story of the construction of Jodrell Bank, at the time, I think itContinue reading “901 – Memories”

Just ten days short of two and a half years ago is how long since I started numbering this blog. I suppose to be strictly honest there will be a couple of days when things went a bit astray, but I think for the most part I have gone with the schedule. I reckon ifContinue reading “900 – Two Years, 170 Days”

I think it was just before Christmas we bought a ninja foodie. We haven’t been using it much. The odd batch of chips here and there. Why bother? I’ve been thinking about it, so tonight I did some pork steaks, with a breadcrumb coating, and actually, they came out not too bad, even if IContinue reading “899 – I follow a recipe”

Whilst the moon itself is not very well exposed I wasnt expecting this picture. There’s something almost mystical about it. I caught it on this morning walk as I was walking down the High Street. This mornings chorus was particularly tuneful as I was walking along Mumby Road. I didn’t use the app I haveContinue reading “898 – The Moon”

Yesterday wasn’t a lazy day. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to London, and would happily do another. There are a number of places in the city that I have never been to, one example of which is The Imperial War Museum. Although I saw the Cutty Sark, I didn’t go on board, that remains toContinue reading “897 – A Lazy Day”

A few weeks ago, Elayne had a day booked in London to meet up with friends. I decided that I would go to London with her, my first visit to the city since pre-covid times, probably around 2019. I decided that I was going to do a few things that I hadn’t done before. WeContinue reading “896 – A day of History, Culture and …”

There is a fair bit of work going on in and around Haslar Marina. The lightship dissappeared for several months whilst there was a lot of dredging work going on. The lightship is back now. It looked a bit barren on its return, but it is now being returned to its state as a restaurant.Continue reading “895 – The waterfront”
