As to why, all of a sudden, the images are appearing as thumbnails rather than the full size. I’ve looked in to this, and can’t work out why, it is most frustrating. It isn’t that I want to stop writing, I don’t. It’s almost like I’m running out of steam. My daily posts aren’t reallyContinue reading “412 At a bit of a loss”

Now, The annoying thing is that I don’t know why today’s picture is only coming up thumbnail size. I’ve tried changing it so that it comes up the normal size. I’ve tried changing it, but it hasn’t worked. I don’t know why, but it’s just a tad frustrating. I got up at my usual time.Continue reading “411 A Rainy Day”

I’ve just re-read last nights post. I’m not going to correct any of the mistypings, as they reflect the character of the day & evening. I had reached that point in the day when it was time for bed. I hadn’t done my Project 365 Or my blog posts. I could have left them forContinue reading “410 Sunday”

Today, I arose at 0630, well to be honest that’s not strictly true. I arose at some ridiculous hour to assist in the capture of what turned out to be a dead mouse, being used as a plaything by one of our cats. I tried mostly unsuccessfully to get back to sleep, only to beContinue reading “409 The Revenge of the SatNav”

This was the sight that greeted me on the high street. It like the trolleys in the cockle ponds (although, in my view that is worse than this, but this is bad enough. I tweeted this picture to Gosport Streetscene to let them know about it, as I do whenever I see the trolleys. It’sContinue reading “408 Why?”

I managed to stir myself today, for the mornings walk. It wasn’t that difficult really, I felt guilty enough for having missed yesterday. Particularly frustrating as if I had done it then today, I would have walked my 1,000th recorded mile this year. As it happens, that will now be sometime around 0615ish, when IContinue reading “407 The Weather”

Rowner church is No. 9 in my Gosport Project list, but because it’s one of the places I had never visited before. A combination of RAYNET and holiday events would trigger the gap between my first visit and what I want to do which is to make a brief video about the church. I wouldContinue reading “406 Back to the project”

The Admiral of the Fleet, The Lord Fieldhouse, Baron of Gosport died at the of 64, after picking up a post-operative infection. Sad that this man who achieved so much should die at such a young age. You’ll note that I said in the lead para that he was Baron of Gosport, not mentioned onContinue reading “405 The Baron”

I miscalculated little bit. It was cooler than I thought it would be for this morunning’s walk. I suppose I could have turned back and picked up my coat, but it wasn’t really that bad so I decided not to. It was OK, but I will pay a bit more attention before I go outContinue reading “404 Back to Normal”

The Butser Hill Challenge was the first I attended as a member of RAYNET in 2016. I’d wanted to go up the hill from the first time I’d seen it. Covering this event with RAYNET means that for the last four years, I’ve spent a couple of hours pretty much at the top of theContinue reading “403 The Butser Hill Challenge”
