I was awake at 0300 this morning, it was the wind wot woke me. I can quite easily equate last night gales to a vandal. It certainly felt like it. I had major problems sleeping, and mostly didn’t. This was due to the wind taking great pleasure in kicking a tin can down the street.Continue reading “210/366 Gusty Gosport”

I did say that I would look at following the exercises or assignments in the Tom Ang Book. I haven’t done anything. I’m not sure why, I just really haven’t thought about it. The book isn’t my main book of the moment. I’ll have a think about it. This morning’s walk was very pleasant. IContinue reading “209/366 Well, that’s not working.”

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been walking in one particular direction on my morning walk; ant-clockwise. I like walking that way because when I reach the waterfront I do my weather report for the #Breakfastclub and then I only have a relatively short walk (1/3 roughly) home. If I go clockwise, then IContinue reading “208/366 Decisions, Decisions”

A cold, clear fresh morning greeted me. No wind meant no windchill, which was very nice. Mind you though, the weather is promising a big change with storms coming mid week. I tend not to walk if it’s raining, so we’ll have to see what the week brings. I’ve finished reading the Gosport Journals. AfterContinue reading “207/366 The Leaflets”

In one way, it hasn’t been a very successful walking week. I didn’t get out at all on Friday or Saturday, they were very lazy days. On the other hand I have closed up over 20 miles. I know, that’s not many, but it’s enough for the week to keep my Walk 1000 on track.Continue reading “206/366 A Glorious Day”

I thought these two lovely birds were yellow wagtails. It appears not; grey wagtails. Yellows have a yellow head and are more yellow generally. Anyhow, I caught this picture this morning, both birds were bobbing about and every so often running over to the little pile of food that I have started putting down forContinue reading “205/366 The Occasional Obsession”

Well, (Is it a cliche when people start sentences with words like Well, So or Now)? Anyhow, Well, wasn’t yesterday’s efforts pretty feeble? I think it must have been a massive case of indigestion. I was very uncomfortable for several hours, but did have a good nights sleep. I didn’t go for a walk thisContinue reading “204/366 Writing”

It was a calm day, quite a light breeze, but what little there was still caused a bit of wind chill. I’m not sure what the forecast is for tomorrow, but if it is dry, I intend to be out for my walk in the morning. I don’t mind it being cold. It has beenContinue reading “203/366 Walking Weather?”

I am going to do something I definitely don’t normally do in this blog. Just very briefly I’m going to talk about me. When I was at school, one of my favourite subjects was history. I can’t remember what it was that I enjoyed about the subject, I just remember that enjoyment. Then I wentContinue reading “202/366 A Lesson in History”

The last couple of mornings have seen (for me) some remarkably low tides. The picture above shows the rails and supports for the Old Gosport Ferry. The picture was taken around 0640, the tide still had five minutes to run before turning. The distance between the low tide and the high tide mark, clearly visibleContinue reading “201/366 Some Low Tides”
