It’s not so much that this is a diary, it isn’t really. It’s my meanderings, which you are kind enough to read. But there are times, moments I suppose of history, which are worth marking. The last and biggest for me was being in Berlin in November 1989, when the wall came down. I’m notContinue reading “128/366 Tier 4 & A walk”

127/366 The Holiday
OK, so really, the picture bears no relationship with tonight’s post. We are sat watching a film, the main stars are Kate Winslett and Cameron Diaz. It’s one of the Christmassy films, you know exactly how it’s going to work out, but you still watch it. It’’s entertaining. I didn’t go fora walk this morning,Continue reading “127/366 The Holiday”
126/366 Magpies & Ships
When the birds condescend to attend the bird table whilst I am watching it, it’s either the pigeons or the magpies first. Now, if it is the pigeons, they are a little bit hesitant, obviously mapping out the garden to make sure there is no risk to them. Now, they aren’t the most attractive ofContinue reading “126/366 Magpies & Ships”
125/366 The Story of Art – Abstract to surreal
OK, that didn’t work. This is the source picture, from which I attempted to create a surreal image; That point in time at which artists realised that they weren’t tied to producing pictures of scenes from the bible unleashed their brains. We entered and adapted the age of the impressionists and moved to the abstract.Continue reading “125/366 The Story of Art – Abstract to surreal”
124/366 Squirrel
This was around lunchtime. I’d put food on the table early, and hadn’t had a chance to check it, but it hadn’t taken the squirrel long to find it. I don’tthink the squirrel was there all morning, but it was still there at lunchtime. At first, it was on the table, and was being pesteredContinue reading “124/366 Squirrel”
123/366 Monday – Trains
Or lack of them, and no this is is not a commuter thing. The thing is, I like trains. I like watching trains. I like knowing about the signalling infrastructure. I’d love to have a decent model layout. I don’t think I have the skills to build one. Mainly because I have never really tried.Continue reading “123/366 Monday – Trains”
122/366 A Wow! Milestone and Feng Shui of Mugs.
122 days ago, I embarked upon a bit of a mission. I’m quite shocked at how quickly the time has gone, and to be honest how much I have enjoyed this. Just occasionally A little bit of a struggle to write something, but I have achieved it. There is always a fear that I wouldContinue reading “122/366 A Wow! Milestone and Feng Shui of Mugs.”
121/366 Saturday Walk
You get two for the price of one today. Come 3PM, we’d had breakfast, cleaned the house, put up some more Christmas lights, had lunch and some other bits and pieces and apart from the walk to top up the bird table I hadn’t left the house. I wanted to go for a walk. IContinue reading “121/366 Saturday Walk”
120/366 The Bird Table
A problem is that there is little point having the motion sensor active because it picks up the movement of the leaves. It can’t distinguish between that and a squadron of starlings. Neos will let you define more precise zones for the camera, but like everything have to pay for it. I need to getContinue reading “120/366 The Bird Table”
119/366 Windows & Trains
This window is part of the way along the Gosport High Street. When I go out tomorrow, I’ll have to make a note as to which building it is a part of. That’s only partially important. For me, it’s thinking about who has sat in that window since the building was built. The window looksContinue reading “119/366 Windows & Trains”
