I didn’t manage to get in to town this weekend, and what with not going for a walk on Friday it looks like a distinct possibility that I might not get out tomorrow morning because of rain, then some things could have moved on a bit with the various activities. for example the road closureContinue reading “1560 – The Weather”

It’s quite late in the evening, I’m tired but I’m not quite ready for bed. That’s because I haven’t yet done my blog post for the day. I have to confess that I have been sat at my computer, thinking what I could post about. I subscribe to a number of YouTube channels. One ofContinue reading “1559 – Places”

I was awake at around 0500 this morning. If I was going to get up and go for a walk, and do it within a reasonable time, I needed to get up around 0530. I managed it, and had a very nice walk. It was the fourth walk this week, I took a break yesterday.Continue reading “1558 – 0500, four walks”

I didn’t go for a walk this morning, nor did I do a facebook post. I tend not to when I didn’t walk as it is mostly the walk that drives the content of that particular medium. I’m always quite humbled by the number of people (anything greater than 1) that tell me that theyContinue reading “1557 – Thursday”

It wasn’t until I woke up this morning that I realised that I hadn’t done a post last night, hence the oops. Of course, I had the perfect topic to write about, the camera club. Last night was the last print competition of the season. Only one more to go and we will have doneContinue reading “1556 – Ooops & The Camera Club”

Eventually, I’m going to put something on Youtube. I’m not quite ready yet though, but it isn’t far away. What am I doing in the meantime – practicing. And, I have to say, not really doing very well. But as all the regulars on youtube say, you have to begin some where. Mostly beginning downContinue reading “1555 – Practicing Videoing”

I went out for a walk this morning. Now, I’m not telling you that because I am expecting be heaped with praise, it’s just the opening gambit for tonight’s post. The thing is about the walk was that it was unexciting. Note that I’m not saying boring, because it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have enjoyed itContinue reading “1554 – Sunday”

I do like to keep an eye on the high street. I’m very concerned for its health, which really doesn’t seem very good. There are many closed shopping units, the market is really not very good. I don’t know what the footfall is like both at market time and in general. I went in toContinue reading “1553 – The High Street”

It’s the Whitonia – another of the bunkering ships. Haven’t seen her for a while. Don’t worry I’m not thinking of leaving Locality Stories, it’s only for this post. I took a day off work today. Yes, because it’s Valentines Day, we didn’t do anything special, just had a bit of time together, and ofContinue reading “1552 – Facebook or…Blog?”

I passed my Amateur Radio Foundation Licence in 2016. That immediately gave me access to a number of facilities available to “Radio Hams” or just Hams. I bought a walky talky, actually a Baofeng – a Chinese built radio, for those “not in the know” these radios look more expensive than they really are, I’veContinue reading “1551 – The Breakfast Club”
