Tonight, I am supposed to be writing about writing. All this week at around 7pm I am thinking about what to write for the evening, and not once in the past six days have I thought about writers block. The words have mostly flowed quite easily. Now, it’s not that I have writers block tonight,Continue reading “190/366 A Week of Writing”

It looks like a blue sky, but it isn’t it’s just high clouds. But it is nice to see the sky brightening towards the east, and that was around 0640 this morning. The dawn is on the way. The weather last week was cold. I went out on the Monday, with just a hat onContinue reading “189/366 The Weather”

Just under a week ago, I had this moment of madness where I decided to commit to a photography project every week. I had a boo that has been laying around for several years that I hadn’t looked at. I thought it would contain some projects that I could follow – it didn’t, it wasContinue reading “188/366 I’m still trying.”

This a is the old Cowes Chain Ferry. It was replaced with a bigger new one a couple of years ago (how long really – I need to check)? I think it is probably safer to say that the new ferry has not been problem free. Every so often I get asked to confirm thatContinue reading “187/366 The Waterfront”

Over the weekend I finished reading the latest issue of B&W Photography. Ordinarily I would write a piece about an article in the magazine that inspired me. Although I enjoyed reading the mag, there was nothing init that really got my virtual pen going. I’ve gone back to the Gosport Record. The issue I’m readingContinue reading “186/366 Incorporation”

What a cold week it has been. Every day that I have gone out, I have had to make sure that I was wrapped up really warm. It was probably Monday when I went out and during the walk my ears suffered, so I sought out my Balaclava. That has really helped. Then on anotherContinue reading “185/366 That was the Walking Week”

Here’s a link to my first formally released Vlogg; https://youtu.be/r6eSemzgW8c Ok, so it is my first, and I know that it is far from perfect. The ways in which it is imperfect are, I’m sure legion. But I am not going in to most of them today. There is one aspect that I do wantContinue reading “184/366 Vlogging”

Well, here we are. I have been doing this numbered blog for 183 days, 6 months! When I started doing this, I didn’t know that I would still be doing it 6 months later. I’m really pleased. Of course, I would be. Certainly, one of the things that I know has helped has been theContinue reading “183/366 The Halfway Point”

I’m supposed to write about the weather tonight. Over the last 4 days it has been cold. Very cold, and it snowed. OK, not much and it was all gone within 24 hours, but it was cold. Now I may come back to the weather, but in the meantime there’s something else I want toContinue reading “182/366 Ooops – that’s not what I wanted.”

OK, I have been looking for this book, I knew it was somewhere in the house, and i found it tonight; I have not opened it, I have no idea what it is like inside. But, how is this for a commitment; Wednesday Nights are the night I write about photography. On a Wednesday, IContinue reading “181a/366 A Photography Project”
