Firstly, let me say, I have only just noticed my error, and I’ve been doing this for almost a third of a year (indeed, only 14 days short of 122 days), because it’s a leap year. It’s not out of 365, but 366. I will have to remember to keep that going. I was goingContinue reading “108/366 The Bird table”

I went out for a walk this afternoon, not far only a couple of miles, but I had a reason for going out. I’ve bought a GoPro Hero9 video camera. One of the main reasons I bought this particular model were the. Claims about stabilisation (bear with me). I knew GoPro’s had a good reputationContinue reading “107/365 Out & About”

The monthly magazine, Black & White Photography turned up on Tuesday. As usual, I put aside The Story of Art to read it, and I’ll do the same when my other favourite magazine, Country Walking arrives sometime in the next few days. Usually when I read the magazine at least one of the articles sparksContinue reading “106/365 The Snapshot and Art”

Are you an Android or an iPhone user? I’ve been addicted to apple since I bought my first Mac Mini in 2005. I know some people complain about being locked in, but that really doesn’t bother me. Then Apple released the iphone, and I knew I wanted one, so we have been devotees since theContinue reading “105/365 The iPhone Camera”

The triangle of lights going off to the right hand side is the ramp that leads to the Gosport Ferry Terminal. Looking at the picture, the ramp is pretty much level. This tells you that the tide is in. It wasn’t quite at it’s height at the time I took picture (0633), high tide wouldContinue reading “104/365 The Gosport Promenade”

I thought I would do a series on the Gosport Plaques. I thought that I would do a piece on each plaque, but I realised with Henry Cort, I would just be regurgitating what I’d read on the Wikipedia page. Not quite plagiarism, but not far from it. I will be able to talk aContinue reading “103/365 The Blue Plaques”

This evening’s post is only called Monday Morning because I can’t think of a more original title. I nearly didn’t get out this morning. Having had a good nights sleep, I was a bit late waking up. But, I was determined to go. It was warmer than Friday, but not much. No frost though. IContinue reading “102/365 Monday Morning”

Here we are then, starting the 2nd hundred. Let’s see how we do. Although it was a grey day, and there had been a brief shower before we got up. It stayed dry, so we thought we would go for a short bike ride. On Friday, we had done our usual, fish (or in myContinue reading “101/365 A. Pleasant Sunday”

To me, It seems barely credible that I have now been doing this for 100 days. Back at No. 90 I expressed some doubt as to whether I should celebrate there, or here. Let’s do neither, but just put a marker in time. The next one will at 122. I can do that, as itContinue reading “100/365 A lovely Saturday”

I nearly didn’t go for a walk this morning. I woke up at around 10 to 6. If I had lingered I would have felt it too late to go. That would have been a pity. I’ve only managed to get out three times this week. I do have problems getting up sometimes. But IContinue reading “99/365 The Walking Week”
