The almost is that I went for a tun on Monday, it was a bank holiday, so I went early, and ended up not going for a walk. Apart from that, I went for a walk every morning this week. Sometimes it can be a struggle to get up. But for some reason it hasContinue reading “268/366 A week of walking (almost)”

The last few days the weather has been a bit rough, I’m not going to describe it as bad because I like rough weather; I like the wind and the rain, and the snow (not that we’ve had any and only if I don’t have to go out in it – especially driving) and I’mContinue reading “267/366 This Mornings’ walk”

Out for my walk this morning. I arrived at the Cockle Ponds to be confronted by this. I was outraged. I simply do not understand why someone would do this, or how they could derive pleasure from this. The second I saw this I sent a picture and a tweet to Gosport Street Scene. IContinue reading “266/366 Oh Dear!”

The water in the cockle pond was so rough this morning that I wasn’t able to see any of the jelly fish, or anything else. Hopefully, I will tomorrow. Sorry – this is about me again. I have interests, as much as I avoid writing about them here, I won’t deny my interest in politicsContinue reading “265/366 Obsessions or Interests?”

In this months issue what is unavoidable is the impression of the anticipation of the lifting of the Covid-19 Lockdowns. We aren’t quite there yet but it is getting closer unless something drastic goes wrong. I get the view that most of the contributors to the magazine tend to travel alone on their treks. There’sContinue reading “264/366 Country Walking Margazine”

I went out to the shed so that I could get a screw to put up my wall mounted barometer. I’ve tried picture hooks and they didn’t work – wrong size. I’m pleased that it is now up, and I can look at it every day. But that isn’t the story. When I went outContinue reading “263/366 A morning for a walk.”

A couple of pictures for you today. The weather looked absolutely lovely this morning so we decided we would go for a little bike ride, and a walk. One of our favourite destinations is Stokes Bay. We set off and realised that although the sun was bright, the air was still quite chilly. We wereContinue reading “262/366 A Bike Ride”

There were thousands of jelly fish in the cockle pond this morning, a swarm of them. I’ve written a lot about them. I’ve also written a lot about the photographs I’ve taken this week. I’ve also written a lot about the birds. I’ve enjoyed writing about them. But I don’t think the writing has beenContinue reading “261/366 A week of Writing”

What I don’t want to do is just describe the weather. When I go out for my walk in the morning, I can measure windspeed, temperature (ambient, dew point, chill), pressure (inches of mercury or HectoPascals or millibars (I prefer millibars)) I have a hydrometer which measures relative humidity It’s a broken sensor, it neverContinue reading “260/366 The Weather”

Tonight’s piece is supposed to be about photography. Over the last few days I’’ve spent a fair bit of time talking about my photos. The photo at the top is of an old variant of the Gosport Ferry. There have been a couple of times over the last few months when the tide has beenContinue reading “259/366 Photography”
