Another picture of yesterday’s misty morning. Unrelated to the main topic of today’s post, about which I don’t have a lot to say. With regard to the vlogg, I really do have nothing to add. I have done nothing at all about it. Well, I have thought a little bit about it. I’ve kind ofContinue reading “177/366 Not Vlogging & Downton Abbey”

It started as a clear morning, but I approached the waterfront it turned into a very misty morning. I like misty mornings. They add a sense of mystery to the day. It was a very pleasant walk. Now, the title of today’s post isn’t what you might think, a reversion to an early writing clockContinue reading “176/366 Day One”

If the truth is told, is isn’t really much of a secret because I am happy to talk about it to anybody, at the drop of a hat. It’s something that entertains me nearly every day and I suspect that if people were honest (which to be fair, pretty much everybody is in this case)Continue reading “175/366 A little secret”

It’s a bit of a dilemma. I confess to feeling a little bit guilty. The thing is, I have a perfectly good DSLR camera, a Nikon. I have talked about my early cameras, culminating really in the Cannon AE1. I sold it. I can’t remember why. I probably needed the money. The D5300 is nowhereContinue reading “174/366 Photography with a phone”

IT’s that time of year where you can’t be certain that you’ll be able to walk in the morning. Last night the forecast showed that rain might just clear the area at the right time. It was difficult to tell whether or not it was raining, and that being the case it probably means thatContinue reading “173/366 Mostly, not the waterfront”

The picture shows the tide is well out in Portsmouth harbour. Not fully out, but only about an hour after the tide had turned and was going up. When we were out walking yesterday, the tide was pretty much fully in. The range in the tide was really brought home to me, between low andContinue reading “172/366 The Clipper Storms”

It’s around 12PM. It’s not that I’ve wasted the morning, I have been busy doing “stuff”. The realisation came that the day was marching on and I had plans for the afternoon, mainly involving Downton Abbey, a family Zoom and Roast Pork (which was especially nice). If I wanted to go for a walk, IContinue reading “171/366 It started raining”

If you read last week’s piece about the vlog. You’ll know that one of the decisions I am having difficulty with is where to do the to the camera bit. I thought today that if the weather were OK, I could do it out doors. Today, it has mostly been raining there was a pointContinue reading “170/366 The Vlog”

As I wrote last week, I wanted to end up at one place, where I knew what I could write about weeks ahead. I am not there yet. Will I ever be? I really like the moleskin notebooks, very nice quality. My first journal was a moleskin, as was the second (the current one). TheyContinue reading “169/366 Getting organised to write”

I do like the way the morning lights of the Spinnaker and the “Lipstick” have been diffused by the low laying cloud. The weather plays such a significant role in almost every part of our lives that it is pretty much impossible to ignore. One of the first things I do when I get upContinue reading “168/366 Weather Watching”
