I’ve never vlogged, video’d a couple of very short (what is the correct terminology – what would have made it easy would have been to say either; I videoed a couple of short videos, but that doesn’t feel right. I filmed a couple of short videos? Now, that “feels” right, but is it appropriate toContinue reading “1324 – I’m still not vlogging”

This plaque is on the front of the Alverbank Hotel, which is behind Bay house School, which houses the Marine Centre, which is the current home of the Gosport Society. The Gosport Society is not just a historical body, because it has close links with Gosport Borough Council and is regularly invited to comment onContinue reading “1323 – The Gosport Society”

With a risk of duplicating some of this morning’s walking report on FaceBook, it was just too bright to not get up for a walk. I went out in just a t-shirt. That was almost, kind of a mistake. The wind was cold, not just chilled, cold. I should really have come back to theContinue reading “1322 – Out for a walk”

The picture was taken at Lee-on-the-Solent, the closest I could get to Titchfield. Somebody asked today, why was Titchfield a historic town, and I had to look the answer up. It’s played a significant role at certain points in in history, it’s abbey was established in 1231, and was visited by Henry VI and wasContinue reading “1321 – Titchfield”

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”
