It’s ridiculous isn’t it? here were are really not that far from 366, I still don’t really know what I am going to do next. And yet I do. It’s just letting it happen. In a way it won’t matter that I can drop the 366, and it won’t really matter if I don’t doContinue reading “331/366 What Next Then?”

A surprisingly pleasant looking little close right in the middle of the town. This isn’t far, less than 10’s of yards from North Cross Street. North Cross Street has become nervously entertaining on my morning walk; What are the chances that two people would be at the same point of their journey on two daysContinue reading “330/366 The morning walk”

These two beauties swam past the Haslar Marina Sea Wall. They weren’t in a rush. The water wasn’t really rough, but it was “busier” than normal. I had a vision of them paddling like crazy whilst maintaining the serene image they gave above. I have two magazines, with a possible third on the way, andContinue reading “329/366 A reading rush”

First thing this morning, when I woke up it was blowing a gale and absolutely chucking it down. I fell back asleep, and woke up just after the time I would normally be up. I hadn’t expected to get up or go out for a walk. The second time I woke up, I felt aContinue reading “328/366 Walking in the Rain”

I studied Geology at a very low level, for a very short period of time. We did a couple of field trips, one was to Barton-on-Sea, the area is known for the ease with which fossils can be found. Belemnites, small toothlike fossils molluscs. It was a lot of fun looking for them. We learnedContinue reading “327/366 Geology”

Not one of the best weeks for walking only just over 19 miles. So I made the Walk1000 but only just. I didn’t go out very much yesterday and I didn’t go out today. It’s unusual for me to have a bout of writers block. I hope that’s not a sign I’m running out ofContinue reading “326/366 Walking & Locality”

Over the last few days, I’ve been busy churning stuff out about my interests. I’m not sure I’ve finished yet, but I am taking a break. Actually, the break is a juddering halt. Not to the 366, just tonight. Tonight I am reverting to my technique for dealing with writers block, which is to writeContinue reading “325/366 Ummm… I don’t know”

The picture was an accident, but once again it’s one I like, the thing about it is the background would normally involve views of Portchester, but because it was misty, the background is almost the same colour as the sea, it’s not the mono aspect, I think it’s more the minimalism. Over the last fewContinue reading “324/366 Interesting Projects”

A couple of weeks back, I had another go at doing a Vlog. The intention was to do five minutes on Fort Gilkicker. I’d done a little bit of historical research and knew roughly what I wanted to say. Of course, when I started recording it didn’t come out the way I wanted. I amContinue reading “323/366 Vlogging”

When I finish work, we like to sit and watch a programme on TV, at the moment we are watching Grey’s Anatomy using a streaming service. We have been having a frustrating issue, in that the device keeps losing network connectivity. It seems like this mostly happens when we are using our phones or tablets.Continue reading “322/366 A bit of a problem.”
