I apologise for the now corrected typo from yesterdays post. I wanted to write about a couple of things that occurred on my walk home from the ferry yesterday. I was due to do my talk to the camera thing, day 12 I think it must be (day 14, review of the week is dueContinue reading “1520 – Good Reasons”

I took a bit of time out today, to get out and use my bus pass. I never caught a bus from Gosport Bus Station when it was open. So I walked into town and arrived at the new interchange. As it happens there was an E2 bus waiting. As I boarded the bus, IContinue reading “1519 – On the Busses”

I only mention YouTube tonight because it seems to have gone a bit mad with the Over 40’s taking over, and claiming that people can be successful with not many followers. Without taking self-satisfaction into account I have to say I thought that was one of the main reasons for posting on the medium. IContinue reading “1518 – YouTube”

To be honest, I just didn’t want to get up this morning. It was the first proper opportunity to get up and go for a walk (weather and timing), but I got out of bed and instead of getting dressed for a walk, I went and made a cup of tea, and went back toContinue reading “1517 – Lazy”

The location of this picture is in the Alver Valley Nature Reserve. It’s next to a place delightfully named The Apple Dumpling Bridge. It’s a medieval site. Just a few yards behind me is the site of the Rowner Motte & Bailey. A Motte and Bailey is a small castle like structure usually on aContinue reading “1516 – Points of Interest”

The topic for our next camera club competition, is Abstract. It’s prints. We spent a bit of time yesterday getting the prints ready, we got them professionally printed at a local printing office, and A3 print is quite reasonably priced there and lot of people from the club use it. We were in a bitContinue reading “1515 The Mad Rush…”

I should have recorded the weather stats yesterday, it would have been a good marker. The pressure reading was 972mb. Last year sometime we had a pressure of 980 something, I think that was the lowest I had seen for a very long time. Overnight we reached a pressure of 972mb (actually, that was atContinue reading “1514 – The Weather”

We went out for a meal today, to The Chairmakers, a pub at Worlds end, Hambledon. They do a Sunday cavery which is delicious, and I am more than happy to recommend it, but this is not what today’s post is about. The weather is bad, it has been raining for most of the lastContinue reading “1513 – Out for a meal”

Elayne was asked if she could go into the shop where she volunteers. I dropped her off and drove round to Clarence Road, parking up opposite what used to be the Con Club. I made a point of having put in the car my vlogging kit (tripod & phone mount). I was determined today toContinue reading “1512 – A bit of a milestone”

I’m in a bit of a trough at the moment. There are things that i want to write about but I feel strangely awkward. Do I just do it, or do I find s different direction until I get my brain sorted? I think last nights reflected, I’m not going to change it, but IContinue reading “1511 – just talking”
