It’s Thursday. Today we’ve had Aurora since yesterday. The night wasn’t the best. Aurora had a bit of a session between around 0100 – 0330. We did get some sleep, but we were tired when we woke up. Still, we had a pleasant day. Lunch at the Gosport Garden Centre – I had the Leek,Continue reading “1883 – What could I write about?”

I had two jobs outside to do today, the first was to go back to the print shop where we get out competition prints done. It would be our third visit this week, and the most awkward. The first set of prints were just wrong. We decided it was a comms issue – our problem.Continue reading “1882 – Rain!”

I had another U3A session today, my first visit to Exploring Art. The session is run by Maggie, whom I know through Elayne’s Women’s Institute. There were about 10 of us in the room. This weeks topic was funerial art, which I have to confess, I expected to be quite depressing. But actually, it wasContinue reading “1881 – U3A Exploring Art”

These two rather forlorn wrecks lay at the western end of Forton Lake. I think the one in the foreground is probably much older than the one to the back, The shoreline here is at the back of what is now St Vincents College, but until 1969 it was one of the Navy’s main trainingContinue reading “1880 – Monday at The Shed”

OK, I did do a bit of housework this morning, so that is all the main jobs done. I spent a bit of time on the computer, having a chat with ChatGPT about swing trading. I like the idea of it, but some issues have come up meaning that i’m very likely to not botherContinue reading “1879 – Another Lazy Day”

I am more than slightly ashamed to confess that I haven’t been anywhere today, exxcept to the bins, and to the bottom of the garden to top up the birdfeeder, which the starlings promptly emptied. I have done a little bit of housework, and have a bit more to do tomorrow. I haven’t turned theContinue reading “1878 – Saturday”

We went to the Diving Cafe for lunch. We thought it would be a nice experience for Aurora, she would be able to see the sea. I took this picture through the window at the restaurant. What you cant see is the wind that was absolutely pounding on the window. Neither can you see theContinue reading “1876 – You Can’t See it!”

I have become not used to getting up at 6AM, with the possible exception of the occasional need to feed the cat. It therefore comes as something of a shock when I have to rise and get ready, and actually go outside. Today, I had to go to Alex’s place so I could help himContinue reading “1875 – Wednessday”

I went to the shed this morning, I had some paperwork to finalise and had a picture taken for my pass – not sure how long that will take to process. I spent nearly an hour in the common room, just chatting to people, about nothing in particular. I’m planning to be there for theContinue reading “1874 – The Shed, U3a & Camera Club”
