The Commodore Clipper zips past the Spinnaker. Luckily it’s just a photographic effect. I have to confess that I so very nearly didn’t get up and go for a walk this morning. I could very easily have stayed in bed. But as is usually the case, having got up and got out, I am pleasedContinue reading “1625 – The Morning”

I took this picture this morning. It’s a fairly major change from even yesterday. Obviously, there’s a fair bit of activity going on behind the screen. I reckon the next this is the Burton branding will go. It might even be gone by tomorrow. What I should have done before now, is look at theContinue reading “1624 – Linkage”

During the week I am trying to get back into doing a regular facebook post in the morning. Sometimes, it would be so easy to make the posts here a duplicate of the morning’s writings, but that would be lazy. Sometimes, I would like to make this a follow on, or slightly deeper comment fromContinue reading “1623 – This Blog & Jellyfish”

Following on then, from the episode where I was labelled “weird” by a young chap in the high street, I guess that I should announce that some time in the next couple of weeks, somewhere in town, probably on Trinity Green between the Millennium Sundial and the church, I will be undertaking activities that areContinue reading “1622 – Odd, no weird activities.”

You might gather we have spent a few days visiting good friends in the town. On Saturday I had to go into town to pick up a couple of things. A lot is happening to the town square. It is apparently causing a bit of controversy, something to do with the length of time toContinue reading “1621 – St Neots”

We had been visiting our friends, Helen and Mark in the Offords, and were on our way home, when we were stopped at the road leading to Toseland by a (non-police) motorcyclist in the road, with hazards flashing, allowing motorbikes off the Toseland road onto the main road. A lot of bikes, I mean aContinue reading “1620 – Motorbikes”

Walking over the bridge I was greeted by a collection of swans that must have decided that I was going to give them lunch, because they all started to come towards me. It was only after I had offered my most profuse apologies that they realised I was of no use to them that theyContinue reading “1619 – A Bevy”

The picture has nothing to do with the topic of this evenings post. I wrote a bit of a skit on a whatsapp group that went along the lines of I had a conversation with the Station Manager (my wife, Elayne – Radio Amateurs call their their partner “The Station Manager”) around some rubbish binsContinue reading “1618 – Frustration”

Over the last few weeks I’ve been reading the book about TED talks, the situation about the Gosport TEDx hasn’t been sorted as far as I’m aware, and that means that I am back onto the history book again. This Tim about the early Stuart Monarchy, with James VI of Scotland not yet crowned kingContinue reading “1617 – Book of the moment”

There may be a bit of a problem with the TEDx scheduled for Gosport in November. I don’t have the full story yet, and hopefully I will find out soon, but I had an interesting phone call this morning. A bit of intrigue? Possibly. In the meantime, I’m having a bit of fun developing aContinue reading “1616 – Gosport TEDx & The Bus Station”
