Well, that’s the thing. I can’t really, not while I am in work, and definitely not for official bodies like charities. Way too much responsibility. Plus even within clubs, I have a habit of joining a club, and then getting on the committee. When I do get on a committee, it might be with someContinue reading “1320 – Volunteering”

What a lovely day, we left mid morning to make our way over to Southsea common, near the navel memorial, there were stalls and activities and I think several thousand people, bringing to an end the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Without doubt the climax of the day was the display by theContinue reading “1319 – Saturday”

This is going to be one of those really short posts. There, I told you. Ok, if you’ve read this already, my apologies I wanted to get something down. I’m bothered by the absence of any motivation to vlog. A few months ago I was really chomping at the bit to produce video, but atContinue reading “1318 – Friday Night”

At about 9PM last night, I had a thought that I need to do a blog entry. That was. It, the last thought I had about it. Until I woke up that morning that is. Obviously, I didn’t do a post last night. I’ve missed nights before, it doesn’t really matter. But what it meansContinue reading “1317 – Now, that’s annoying”

There’s no point in ignoring that there is an election on. During the election period, I become increasingly frustrated (I was already frustrated) at the lack of a local newspaper, whether hard copy or digital. I’m not satisfied with the lack of that service. Can’t do anything about it though. Can I?

It’s not that things are taking shape, more that things are being taken apart. Very large chunks of tarmac being piled up so that the base for the new bus station can be laid down. Before the move to Dorset fell through, I was all fired up with the idea as to what’s I wasContinue reading “1315 – Constructive Vlogging”

Well, not really gardening – more cutting grass. We visited Elayne’s parents, they wanted a bit of work done. Mostly cutting grass. We all mucked in, David wanted a wild patch left in the middle of the lawn. The grass was quite long, but it was strimmed first in places, in other places we justContinue reading “1314 – Gardening”

Where do I begin with this? Gardening is not my favourite activity. What job I am doing in the garden depends whether or not I am, well, I’m not going to say enjoy it, or actively dislike it. For example, I don’t mind cutting the grass but don’t ask me to handle dirt. Sounds patheticContinue reading “1313 – A day in the Garden”

On the day I found a trolley in the cockle ponds there were two. This second one was a bit further out, it must have taken a bit of effort to throw it out there, I’d say more than one person to throw it in. Sorry about today’s brief post. I’ve sat for a goodContinue reading “1312 – A bit forlorn”

I decided that I had to look up what the transport plan was for Gosport. I haven’t finished reading yet, so I’m not fully aware of transport plan, but there were several options for the new bus shelter, I haven’t reached the point in the document where the decision is made as to which oneContinue reading “1311 – Before I fell asleep…”
