The University of the Third Age or U3A as it is known, is an institution that I am planning to join in the New Year. All U3A branches are organised into groups with various interests. I’ve been through the groups offered by The Gosport Branch. There are several that I am very interested in andContinue reading “1818 – University of the Third Age”

1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!
With Elayne away, in London & the house jobs done, I have time to do what I want. Only snag is – what do I want to do? I thought i might go over to Portsmouth, get on the next bus to depart and take it to the end, wherever that might be (Probably Fareham,Continue reading “1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!”
1816 – Friday
The header picture is another one of the Marwell Meerkats, this cutie is relaxing on a nice warm rock. just very briefly, after last nights post, I’ve managed to get a couple of widgets on to my lock screen, one for written notes and one for voice notes. They work fine. Haven’t had any ideasContinue reading “1816 – Friday”
1815 – I need to be more adept
There were a couple of times today when I had a flashing thought about some random topic to which I think “Oooh – I could blog about that”. Of course, I can’t remember what those thoughts were, which is really frustrating. I need some means where I can very quickly make a note of theContinue reading “1815 – I need to be more adept”
1814 – Back in the Days…
I seem to recall that I first heard about The Internet, was in the mid to late 80’s. That was through the print out of the Star Trek game, written in BASIC (Beginners All Symbolic Instruction Code) Only snag was at the time, I didn’t have access to a computer so that I could typeContinue reading “1814 – Back in the Days…”
1813 – Thoughts on Vlogging
You won’t have noticed that I have done practically no vlogging for quite a while – mainly because I haven’t done any vlogging. OK, yes, I have done some videoing, but mostly it was a few seconds of the demolition engines doing their thing with the bus station. Nothing really coherent or serious. I’ll alsoContinue reading “1813 – Thoughts on Vlogging”
1812 – No idea
The CaraCara – a resident of the southern hemisphere. I must admit, I don’t remember them being this colourful on the Falklands. I’ve been sat here thinking what to write about tonight; Politics – no, investing – no, railways – I’d like to, but nothing concrete at the moment. Today’s walk – Well, I didContinue reading “1812 – No idea”
1811 – A day of…
Remembering; friends whom I have served with especially those no longer with us. Those who gave something special so that we could have the lives we have today. People that I don’t know, and can never know, who gave something so personal, for us. Just remembering.
1810 – A Delightful Day
We went to Marwell. I have been before. but it was several years ago. The zoo is easy to get to, less than 20 miles from home. It wasn’t on the plan. but the first thing we did even before checking in was go to the cafeteria and have breakfast. As it happens, it wasContinue reading “1810 – A Delightful Day”
1809 – I like to know.
When i was doing RAYNET, several years ago now, I particularly enjoyed being involved in events such as the New Forest Marathon or the various 10KM runs. As part of my role at those events, I would be asked to count the number of runners that passed my post. In order to do that withContinue reading “1809 – I like to know.”
