I went for my usual lunchtime walk today. I’ve taken to going along the high street to the waterfront. It’s partly because I want to see the high street, just to see what is going on. but, I was very struck today by a feeling as I reached the Ferry terminal. There was a hazyContinue reading “617 – A seaside town”

In yesterday’s post I wrote that the road works happening on North & South Cross Streets that cross the high street, and are part of the pedestrian area. I said that I would try and find out what is going on. I spoke to the workers today. They confirmed that this was related to theContinue reading “616 – What’s happening?”

Don’t worry, there’s no crisis. Just me doing a little bit of introspection on the purpose of the blog. I watched a video about photography earlier on this evening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SurgXdSOix4 It kind of reinforced something that I learned a few weeks ago, whether it is in regards to getting out and shooting my vlog, orContinue reading “615 – What? Why?”

I went out for a short walk today. I did think of doing a slightly longer one than I ended up doing; down to Gilkicker and back up via the sea wall. Instead I walked all around the Cockle Ponds. The Jelly fish are doing well, and I am seeing some that are three orContinue reading “614 – A walk through Town”

OK, it’s a Bumble Bee in the picture. I’ve tried to take a picture of a hover fly just as it passes my I phone, Oh I caught it, but it’s just a black fuzzy blob.. You can’t tell what it is, but I know. I suggested to Elayne that we should do more toContinue reading “613 – Hover Flies & other insects”

H Because we went to London yesterday I didn’t get out for a walk. Today I managed to get in nearly 8 miles on Thursday. On the walk 1000 it’s possible to chart the progress of your walk by setting “Missions”. It’s possible to set a route on the map, so I have a niceContinue reading “612 – The Weather”

Once again, the header picture is absolutely nothing to do with today’s topics. We went to London today to visit family. We had a lovely day, and I’m pleased to say that everyone we saw were OK. We drove to London in the Leaf. We left home with a full charge, and we knew thatContinue reading “611 – EV Charging!”

It has been a while since we had a morning like this. I must admit, I looked up the definition of a pea-souper, but that’s a fairly precise definition of a fog involving pollution, giving the mist a green & yellow colouring and is very unpleasant and unhealthy to breathe in. This was thick. IContinue reading “610 – Misty Morning”

I acknowledge. This is not a picture that will gain me a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. If you have been reading this blog for a year or more, then hopefully you will remember the time I spent with the Jelly Fish in the Cockle Ponds here in Gosport. I was very disappointed towardContinue reading “609 – Jelly Fish”

Today, I joined The University of the Third Age. https://www.u3a.org.uk/ There is a particular group that I want to attend. The thing about the U3A groups, is that they all happen during the working day, and as I work this is really awkward. Luckily, I have a very understanding boss, and as the group onlyContinue reading “608 – U3A”
