I do like a nice dramatic sky, and there it was this morning. I should have done a facebook post for it, but I ran out of time. Hopefully I’ll be able to do one tomorrow although, Alexa gave us a rain warning from 0500 tomorrow, so whilst my intention is to walk, it doesContinue reading “1658 – Dramatic Sky”

Once you know the context, then the picture tells its own story. For weeks now I have been burbling on about the McDonalds on The High Street. Up until yesterday morning, for a lot of the time, the frontage of the new restaurant has been covered in a high quality screen shielding activity from pryingContinue reading “1657 If I don’t do it, I’ll lose it”

I watched a YouTube a few days ago, it talked something called “Meta-Information”, it’s a bit like meta-data, When you take a photograph with a digital camera, you don’t just get the picture, you get lots of other stuff, the exposure, the details of the camera & the lens, geo-tagging & possibly more. That’s theContinue reading “1656 – Creative Writing”

It was another Camera Club walk today. We returned to Swannick Lakes. The last time we were here was late October, conditions then were very different, being autumnal. Thew whole area was very green. Admittedly, not much wildlife. But what there was, was lovely to see. It was a gentle walk, and really enjoyable. After,Continue reading “1655 – A Sunday Walk”

I’m sorry for the short post this evening, I’ve had a long day and am just really tired. This is just to keep the count going.

I enjoy studying, I have done for a long time. I found Future Learn a few years ago their courses are not too difficult, but it’s definitely a case of the more you put in, the more you get out. I’ve really taken that mantra to heart with this course, and whilst I do thinkContinue reading “1653 – Future Learn: Feature Writing”

I still don’t know what is going with the railway station, whether this work is routine maintenance or to fix a problem. I’ve been sitting, looking at the ipad for the last 10 – 15 minutes, waiting for inspiration to strike, and it has blatantly failed to do so. Hence I am falling back onContinue reading “1652 – Writers block”

Last night at the camera club was a bit of a social occasion, food was laid on, which we had forgotten about and had had tea anyway. Still we had a couple of bits and pieces and sandwiches, all of which were very nice. The final competition was to choose a picture that people hadContinue reading “1651 – Wednesday Walk”

How can a day be busy, lazy & relaxing? That pretty much sums today up. We got a few things done. I paid a visit to The Gosport Shed. I’m not ready to join yet, but l’m pretty much certain I will do. Their model railway layout is big, and impressive – I bet it’sContinue reading “1650 – A quick check”

I’ve just taken a quick look at my FaceBook timeline, and my last post was only four days ago. I have to confess, I thought it was a lot longer than that since posting. I really should have done a post over the weekend but hadn’t. Not through lack of opportunity. We had spent aContinue reading “1649 – Around Gosport”
