After the excitement of Exbury yesterday, today, I tried to do as little as possible. I don’t know if my back is easier – by a small amount. It’ll just be a matter of time. I have been having problems with my office chair, the gas cylinder has gone, and it is way too low.Continue reading “1260 – A day of not doing a lot”

Not only have I never been to Exbury Gardens, before today I had never heard of it. We wanted do something other than just got to the shops, we can do that any time. We wanted to just get out for a bit. Elayne found the place, it looked interesting, so we thought we’’d giveContinue reading “1259 – Exbury”

I’ve suddenly realised that it’s bit late, and that apart from writing about the sudden episode of very uncomfortable back ache that I’ve developed, I can’t think any topic for tonights post. So, we could be heading for another brief post. I don’t know how I did it, certainly not an incorrect lift. But theContinue reading “1258 – After last night…”

Another B&W picture tonight, this one is of the Abbey at Romsey. There is a lot of history there. But the purpose of tonights post isn’t talk about that. It occurs to me that recently, a lot of my posts have been placeholders, to keep the internal count in WordPress going. That means that theContinue reading “1257 – Are these posts cheating?”

After commenting last night that I hadn’t done mono for a while and using one last night I thought we might as well have a bit of a run of them. I thought the lines in this one were quite interesting and I liked the clouds, so why not? Sorry that this one is goingContinue reading “1256 – The Bridge in Mono”

I have used the colour version of this picture before. I think because I haven’t been quite as prolific with my camera recently for some reason I haven’t thought about black & white imagery until this evening for quite some time. Then, as I say this evening I suddenly thought I haven’t made a b&WContinue reading “1255 – Black & White”

For no particular reason, I have scrolled back through this blog. I thought that I would write about post No. 627, the halfway point to today, but actually, if I were to write it today, I suspect only a few things would have changed – it rained then, and it’s raining today, the major differenceContinue reading “1254 – A quick look back”

It looks like this central line of tiles down the path points due west. I put the compass app on the phone on it and it gave 270 degrees. Behind me when I took the picture is the millennium sundial. At the time of. The morning I was there today, there were not a lotContinue reading “1253 – The Sundial & The Church”

I think it was the weekend before this one just gone we went into town, the first time in a few weeks I think. As usual, we went in different directions. I have to confess that apart from something interesting to photograph there isn’t that much to draw me to the town centre, unless IContinue reading “1252 – Books”

The Contentin makings its turn to the east to head towards its berth. This picture is absolutely nothing to do with the topic of today’s post. Chocolate plays a continuing part in my downfall. I find it very difficult to ignore the stuff. Today hasn’t helped things. I have four chocolate eggs and their contentsContinue reading “1251 – Chocolate”
