I’ve had the most recent issue of B&W Photography. There is usually at least one article that for one reason or another grabs my attention. This time it was an article y Tim Daly entitled “Abstraction”. I don’t think it matters where you live, I am sure that there will be lots of opportunities forContinue reading “777 – Abstract or Surreal?”

I do have an actual journal. There are one and a bit volumes of it. I’m about two thirds of the way through the second volume. It’s taken me quite a while to get here. The first volume was started on May 29th 2014. I have had a couple of goes at keeping a diary,Continue reading “776 – The Journal”

I’ve walked most days this week. The last couple of mornings especially the walks have felt really quite good. Although the weather is cooling down, I made sure I was wrapped up comfortable. The #Breakfastclubs for each morning have been very enjoyable with a range of topics being discussed. The goodness, is just a feeling.Continue reading “775 – That was the week”

There was something about this mornings walk. It was just a feeling that it was a very pleasant walk. It was nice to see the Crane Heron at the waters edge, I did get a picture, but it flew off before I could get closer. I like seeing the foxes in the car park, IContinue reading “774 – Out Walking”

Orion was very clear as I left the house at around 6AM. I didn’t take this picture from there. There’s a couple of points on the morning walk where the street lighting is a bit less annoying. Not too bad, you can even make out that the sword is not just stars. For as longContinue reading “773 – Journalling”

The two doors are No.s 16 & 17 North Cross Street. I’ve just spent a bit of time trying to find out when this was built. I’m guessing, but I’d say the 1960’s or 70’s. I don’t really know though. The thing is (sorry to say this) but I’m not interested in the building. WhatContinue reading “772 – Ooops Gosport (again)”

Of All of the shop closures along Stokes Road perhaps one that I feel saddest about is the tailor Kong Cheung. I have no idea why he closed, It could be anything. I really can’t tell you why I was sorry to see it go, I never used it. Whenever I go in to townContinue reading “771 – Gosport (Again)”

On Friday I had my Covid Booster at 1450 and my flu jab at 1630. On Saturday, I go up Saturday and felt rough, very fatigued and I ached whenever I moved. I went outside once, otherwise I spent nearly all day sat in the lounge. All that meant that I didn’t go to theContinue reading “770 – Gosport”

I have just done a quick check of all 768 previous posts and there are four where I mention this thing called locality, and I think it is No. 302, and even there I don’t really talk about it much. It all started one misty morning in May 2015. All of Cunard’s queens were departingContinue reading “769 – Locality & Hashtags”

I think I have spent about an hour sat here looking at the screen, thinking about writing about writing. I enjoyed the time at Pagham we had a good trip especially the photo gallery at Petworth. I’d like to go to more exhibitions like that. I’d also like to go to more art exhibitions asContinue reading “768 – Writing”
