Almost in parallel to when I started this blog, I was also writing on my Facebook time line. Generally the Facebook post was more like a diary than anything. This blog really got going as a result of my wishing to “just write” it would give me an opportunity to explore topics and write materialContinue reading “753 – It’s a Blog. Not a Diary”

I subscribe to the notifications issued by The Queens Harbour Master. Several weeks ago QHM issued a notice that dredging activity would be taking place in Haslar Marina. It was due to start about now. They’ve been at it for a couple of days now. Taken this morning, this picture shows two of three ships,Continue reading “752 – Dredging”

We went through a dry spell. Not sure how long it lasted, but it was quite a few day. Enough to leave the grass parched & scorched. It really started raining yesterday. It was spitting a bit during the day, I managed to get out for my morning walk, but lunchtime was written off asContinue reading “751 – Rain”

The very flat surface on the Cockle pond was ideal for reflections. I’m a bit stuck for something to write about any the moment, it’s just a few minutes past the time I want to be in bed, and I can’t go until I finish this. So I need to get on. I thought IContinue reading “750 – Reflecting”

Yesterday, I kind of indicated that I was about to have an argument with my wife. I didn’t but let’s just say she wasn’t happy, for maybe about a minute or so, and then she laughed. The thing is I really, really don’t like upsetting her, only because I love her. Anyway, we went toContinue reading “749 – Sunday”

We are off to a party this later this afternoon, and probably won’t feel like doing a post afterwards, so this one is a bit early. I was going to write a piece about my lack of success on committees, but a quick search of previous posts showed that I wrote pretty much what IContinue reading “748 – Saturday”

I think the clouds and the foreground make a feeling of motion, and that is appropriate given the topic of todays post. I have decided that, with a very few exceptions, I don’t like travelling very much. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy being in different places. I’m just not sure that I always enjoyContinue reading “747 – Travelling”

I didn’t go for a walk yesterday morning. I woke up and felt really tired, so just didn’t bother, and promptly fell asleep. I did manage to get out for a walk at lunchtime. I didn’t go for a walk at all today, I had a bit of a problem. It’s mostly sorted. I thinkContinue reading “746 – Tired.”

So what could I write about? Model Railways? so, what have I done recently? To be honest, absolutely nothing. My sister very kindly got the baseboard wood sorted an I have done nothing with it. I haven’t forgotten about it, and should obviously be doing something about it. As they say; just get on withContinue reading “745 – What to write about?”

Yeah, not really – neither arty or earthy, or probably mysterious. This time last year, I was reading the story of Art by E H Gombrich. I really enjoyed the book. I am interested in Art, but I’m not (I hope) obsessed with it. Just the occasional visit to a gallery, or a country houseContinue reading “744 – Arty Earth Mysteries”
