It has been a very cold few days. Several times the cold haas been below zero. The frosts, and this mornings frost, have been very heavy. One thing I was concerned about was giving our outside tap some frost protection. Luckily I found the frost cover in the garden shed as we couldn’t find anyContinue reading “846 – Hampshire History”

I have two days worth of data from my garden weather station. I am missing two sets of data; wind speed and wind direction the wind speed I can partially fix that one by taking my handheld anemometer out with me and taking the reading. I’d want one that gives the highest gust since lastContinue reading “845 – Measuring Weather”

I put the new barometer up on the side of the shed fairly early and then left it for an hour to settle down and I then took a set of readings and fed them in to the new spread sheet I’ve set up using the apple app Numbers. I’ve set a chart for eachContinue reading “844 – The start of the Journal”

M&Co is one of the clothing stores in the high street. As I was out for my lunchtime walk I walked past the store, and I heard a couple talking. The lady said “Oh no, M&Co is closing.” I hadn’t even noticed the two big signs in the window. This once again triggered a slewContinue reading “843 – The High Street”

I bought this today. It gives atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and temperature. Why would I buy something like this? I’ve written not that long back about the weather station in Swanage and the old devices that were there. I’d love to have something like that in my garden. Why would I? I’m not at allContinue reading “842 – I would like…”

I’ve just been through a fair few of my archive looking for a picture of a car, this is the closest I could get. We went to London today to visit family. We had a very nice day. I was stressed though. I started being stressed about a week ago. We were asked if weContinue reading “841 – The Electric car”

It was that time of day just after noon, when the sun was shining straight down this alley way on Gosport high street. This picture seems to be appropriate when I want to talk just a little bit about light. In the first instance, it’s about light pollution. I am reading just two pages aContinue reading “840 1769 -70”

It was early, but not as early as I normally have been getting up in the past. I needed to go for my morning walk, but still couldn’t face getting up at 0535. I left the house at about 7AM. It was still dark. It had brightened a f air bit by the time IContinue reading “839 – I went for a walk”

It has been quite a while since I have written about Vlogging. Have I done anything about it? What do you think? Absolutely diddly squat! Why’s that then you might reasonably ask. And I would answer because 1. I don’t have the time or 2. It’s too difficult. 3. I haven’t got anything to say.Continue reading “838 – Vlogging”

It has been several weeks now since I stopped my morning walks. I am enjoying not getting up too much at the moment to resume. What I am not enjoying so much is an increasing sense of frustration that I am not getting out as much as I did, I feel that I am missingContinue reading “837 – Morning Walks”
