Last night, I had a post lined up, all ready to go and must have got distracted because I forgot to post it. Which means my 70+ day count – since the last time I forgot to post has now reset to zero, and I begin again. I have to mention that I am almostContinue reading “1828 – Annoyance”

With today’s date being 25 Nov 25, there are 103 days between today and. 14 Aug 2025. You might well ask what is so important about those two dates? Actually, there’s a third date; 14 August 2020. Tha’t when I began enumerated posts on Locality Stories. I started it. If I recall, because COVID wasContinue reading “1826 = 365*5+1 – A bit delayed”

I really should have written this earlier. I have been completely distracted by one of my interests that I am developing; it’s quite a steep learning curve. I’m not going to write about it here, but when the time comes, I will mention it. That won’t be until probably early next year. I apologise forContinue reading “1825 – Sorry – feeling Tired”

I’m not going to post a picture of the Christmas tree in the town square yet. It is up, but the lights haven’t been installed, so it isn’t quite ready. I wanted to go for a walk. The rain was very intermitent, so big rain coat, it was cold so gloves and flatcap all helpedContinue reading “1824 – Saturday”

I know I am not the first person to retire. But it is the first time I’ve done so. Some of my friends may argue that retirement from the RAF counts as the first time, but this time it’s different. If things go according to plan in just under a month’s time, I will stopContinue reading “1821 – I feel a bit stupid.”

It was another competition in the club tonight. Prints. The Group B (us) topic was open which means anything goes. The group A topic was Architecture. I have to admit that the Group A’s interpretation of what an architectural image was as varied as the 30 plus images submitted by the group. That gives meContinue reading “1820 – Camera Club Night”

I managed to get my morning walk in between 8 and 9 this morning. I have this thing going on trying to find good times to walk down the high street. I’ve spent several years doing the 0600 – 0700 slot. That had it’s good and its bad sides. I reached a point where IContinue reading “1819 – From 8 to 9”
