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”

I’ve really only just begun to read about this period in our history. Last night, we watched a film that portrayed the time of Mary, Queen of Scots in the period up to her execution. Obviously, there must have been some poetic licence in the film but there were also parts of the film thatContinue reading “1510 – The Elizabethan Era”
