I’m reading the 86th Newsletter from the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society (HFC&AS) at one point, the writer of a landsccaspe article recommends that everyone should have a copy of The History of the countryside by Oliver Rackham. I should say that I don’t normally rush out every book that I see recommmended, butContinue reading “2078 A tale of confusion”

2077 – Feed The Birds
This cloud caught my eye today. I thought it’s shape was very close to the shape of Cyprus. I did look out for others, but didn’t see anything. Very nice to just watch the clouds for a while though. You get two pictures today. We walked in to town with our Granddaughter, and stopped atContinue reading “2077 – Feed The Birds”

2075 – I should have gone for a walk
I was going to honest, but then I did that usual thing of sitting at the computer. On sunday evening. I’m sorry, it’s 2350, and our cat has just landed on my keyboard, and won’t move until I’ve given her a brush (the keyboard is on my lap), it’s so near midnight I’m going toContinue reading “2075 – I should have gone for a walk”
2074 – Nature’s Radio Telescopes?
I took this picture today of an open Passion Fruit flower. Luckily it haas a bumblebee doing its thing (look at its back, covered in pollen). The flower has been open for a few days now. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve looked at them since we have lived here. This timeContinue reading “2074 – Nature’s Radio Telescopes?”
2073 – Letter to Steve XXIV
I spent a bit of time about a week ago, dissecting a passion fruit seed pod. Gilbert dissects a bird and finds eggs forming and food in its crop. I don’t think I could dissect a bird. I can remember one Rural Studies lesson at school where the teacher was going to dissect a rabbit.Continue reading “2073 – Letter to Steve XXIV”

Rob has set up a community, called Creators Cove, and issued a challenge to his 117,000 followers. Over a period of four weeks, issue three “longContinue reading “2072 – Put yourself out there”

I have a similar picture taken last week. The difficulty is that as I only volunteer in the shop for one afternnon per week,Continue reading “2071 – The Book Shelf”
2070 Messing around
Those passion fruits look almost good enough to eat, don’t they? I won’t of course, but I am keeping an eye on them, and if they start to swell or drop, I’ll have another one to disect. Next year, I want to watch the whole process from budding – I missed that bit this year.Continue reading “2070 Messing around”
