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”

In November, we had an unseasonably warm spell. I’m not sure if our central heating fired at all. Apparently it was warm air coming up from Africa. Why would that happen? Anyhow. We are almost back to normal. The only thing missing is the snow. Yesterday in particular it was really cold. I wrote inContinue reading “836 – It’s cold!”

It’s a long walk from the shoreside of the Isle of Wight pier to the ferry terminal at the end, and the weather was bitterly cold. But that walk was well worth the effort. I had made the journey across the Solent to Ryde to be picked up by Jan and John and taken toContinue reading “835 – The Isle of Wight”

You get to the end of the day, and you look back and you realise that it is not just a case of writers block, but a day of such utter inconsequence that there is absolutely nothing inspiring to write about. Ok, I did go for a bit of a walk, but that was onlyContinue reading “834 – What happens when…”

You can tell it is getting close to Christmas. For a start you can walk down the street and fine groups of people singing carols. Churches with their doors open offering coffee and mince pies. The smell of mulled whine wafting down the street and Storm Troopers boogying on down to the carol singers. StokesContinue reading “833 – A Street Scene”

Don’t ask me to go all philosophical on you, because I can’t. I think somewhere in the last 800 odd posts I’ve written about this. Probably about Sophie’s World – an intriguing book about a young girl’s exploration of the topic. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I’d really recommend reading the book.Continue reading “832 – Philosophy”
