I’m supposed to be reading the Gilbert White letters. I’m starting at the beginning, with letter 1, rather than working on the dates of the letters. Apparently, he was a bit more subtle than that, as I thought I should. So, I have the delight of reading this Afternoon. I am disappointed that I didn’tContinue reading “1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things”

1907 – Monday
In yesterday’s post about the week ahead, See here; https://bit.ly/1906_What_To_Do I didn’t write about today, Sunday. Mind you, I’ll be honest the weather meant that there really wasn’t much to write about. On Sunday, we try to map out the meals we are planning for the week. This then allows us to build a shoppingContinue reading “1907 – Monday”
1906 – What to do?
It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”
1905 – What type of Photography?
I’m making an assumption that you have an interest in photography. But what type? It could be that you have a fairly recent phone that has a reasonable camera, which you only use for family or holiday pictures (which is absolutely fine, I am definitely not criticising – I’m willing to bet that you haveContinue reading “1905 – What type of Photography?”
1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out
Today was my first trip out with the Gosport Shed. The Expeditions Manager, who does a grand job, had organised a trip to the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm Museum, which is located at the Royal Navy Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton. I have to admit, this is a place I have wanted to visit forContinue reading “1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out”
1903 – Yesterday’s U3A and today’s morning out, about and tea.
I just wanted to show that, whilst you may not think it so, we do have some interesting architecture in gosport. This is the round tower of what used to be, when first built, the towns grammar school. Today, it is The Gosport Art Gallery and Museum. As the museum, it houses a number ofContinue reading “1903 – Yesterday’s U3A and today’s morning out, about and tea.”
1902 – Camera Club
Tonights camera club meeting was a members’ night. That means we did our own thing. As it happens, three members of the club had done setups where other people could practice a particular photographic exercise. Colin’s piece was a kind of still life. I say kind of, because it did involve the smoke of aContinue reading “1902 – Camera Club”
1901 – Monday, The Shed
I walked up to the shed this morning, to attend the weekly meeting and find out about the trip later this week. We have to sign in each time we go to the shed. The managers of the shed print a weekly attendee list, alphabetically organised. I’ve been checking the list to see if myContinue reading “1901 – Monday, The Shed”
1900 – I diddn’t get out today
Family commitments meant that I didn’t get out today. Yesterday, I talked about three books, and made commitments for each of them. I am now very aware that I could easily become very boring on the matter. So, I have done something with regard to each book, read one of Gilbert’s letters, and he wasContinue reading “1900 – I diddn’t get out today”
1899 – A Routine
I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”
