Sometimes things can be really frustrating. I’m thinking about the morning walk. I have pretty much stopped walking at around 6AM. I can get up and go to work at that time, because I don’t have to leave the house. I’ve lost the #Breakfastclub on the radio. Some of us met up on Saturday morningContinue reading “1799 – The morning walk”

A picture of the machine that has beeen creating the piles of crushed rubble. Although the main building has gone, I suspect that its role here is not over. The hard standing it is on will have to go. I wonder how thick it is? It seems strange now to see the empty space whereContinue reading “1798 – The Muncher & Pigeons.”

We are about halfway through Autumn (01 Sep to 21 Dec). The vegetation is starting to turn. It is that which has drawn members of the Gosport Camera Club out for a Sunday Morning walk. Today’s expedition is Swanbourne Lake. Quite often, lakes like this are the resuly of quarrying, typically for gravel. But SwanbourneContinue reading “1797 – A Camera Club Trip”

Simply because I got to have a buffet breakfast with some good friends in Portsmouth, friends who had travelled a few miles and crossed water to meet up, enjoy food together and good chat. An excellent morning. Also good because I got to spend a bit of time having a good browse in one ofContinue reading “1796 – A Nice Day”

I thought it might be cold before stepping out of hte house. I have to confess that I almost turned round and came home. My heel was hurting a bit, and it was colder than I anticipated and I really should have had some gloves, but I haven’t looked for them, so I don’t knowContinue reading “1795 – There’s a change in the Air”

We had Aurora with us today, so we were looking after her. I am going to try and do my thing of getting up early, working, then going for a walk. I’m OK with getting up, I just don’t want to go out when it’s dark. The Bus Station will be the main focus ofContinue reading “1794 – I didn’t go for a walk today.”

I’m sure there is a picture to be had of the ripples caused by a gull swimming in the Cockle Ponds. I’m not at all convinced this is it, and this is the closest I have got to the gull before it jumps in to the pond and swims off in a panic at myContinue reading “1793 – Morning walk”

We had an enjoyable evening at the Camera Club. Tonight was the first of the seasons PDI (Projected Digital Image) competitions.Elayne and I both had three images in the round. The header image scored 9.5 points. It had been held back to the end of the competition, I was excited as that meant it couldContinue reading “1792 – Camera Club”

September was Aurora’s Birthday. We bought a couple of metallised balloons for the party. It’s over a month ago, and these two balloons, whilst slowly deflating are still floating. Their decreasing bouyancy is partially aggravated by the string holding them down. I cut the string off one of them, it’s now clinging to the ceiling,Continue reading “1791 – Stuff”

I’ve done a fair few courses on Future Learn. They are quite good. But I am reaching the point where I am running out of topics which I am interested in. There are some courses which I could consider doing again, but not for a while. They are something to come back to. I wasContinue reading “1790 – Learning”
