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.”
1808 – Friday morning
I don’t often get a chance to take a picture of a pylon, so it was nice to be able get a picture. The Open Infrastructure map is both interesting and useful. I’ve been able to find out a fair bit about it – I won’t go into all that here. I’m only talking aboutContinue reading “1808 – Friday morning”
1807 – A bit of an adventure.
I took the afternoon off work today, I needed to act as driver. Elayne had gone to Alex’s first thing, so I didn’t have the car. This meant I had to get to Alex’s place by ferry & bus. I took three bus journeys; on from near home to the ferry. I was on theContinue reading “1807 – A bit of an adventure.”
1806 – A Night of Audio & Visual
The old bus station will soon be nothing but a memory. Hopefully to be replaced by something that people will be able to enjoy. The demolition of the concrete pan is proceeding at speed. I went for a walk at around 8AM this morning. I was curious as to how many people I might seeContinue reading “1806 – A Night of Audio & Visual”
1805 – The High Street at Lunchtime
I went for a walk at lunchtime today. Walking into town during the working day is something unusual for me. I just wanted to see what the high street would be like at that time of day. At the moment, I only have two other time frames to compare with; 0600-0730, & 0800 – 0900.Continue reading “1805 – The High Street at Lunchtime”
1804 – Photography
This coming Tuesday, 04 Nov, at the Camera Club we have to submit any prints we want to put in to the next competition. I have to confess, that caused a bit of a crisis of confidence in me. Luckily, the topic for the competition is open for our group – that means any topicContinue reading “1804 – Photography”
1803 – A walk in to town
We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit. We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top.Continue reading “1803 – A walk in to town”
1802 – Not quite Ready
There are a few things that I want to do or get involved in. But I’m not going to until I’ve retired. There may also be other topics that I’m not yet ready to discuss here that invovle issues that I am concerned about, but which could quickly become political. I don’t really want toContinue reading “1802 – Not quite Ready”
1801 – No walk today
Not Really. But I have to confess that I have left things a bit late tonight and am now really tired. As i sit and write this, I’ve just dropped off a zoom that I was having with some friends (I was about to say really good friends, but they are friends, which automatically makesContinue reading “1801 – No walk today”
