I don’t know you’d call this place “a shop unit“? It used to be a charity place. I think they’ve moved to a better, bigger, brighter place, which in its own right is a good thing. The problem here is that you have to look quite closely to see that there is a broken paneContinue reading “1295 – Dereliction”

I think there is one area of Gosport’s services that I think does a pretty good job. Gosport StreetScene. The organisation is part of Gosport Borough Council. I’ve contacted Street Scene a few times, initially it was about abandoned shopping trollies There are hotspots for abandoned trolleys around town, and I used to report them.Continue reading “1294 – Gosports Flower Beds”

We went to Southampton today. In particular we wanted to look at some stuff in John Lewis, after that I had a bit of spare time so I went and had a browse around waterstones. There are a few books that I’d love to read, but I have more than enough to get on with.Continue reading “1293 – Southampton”

The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon that i have always longed to see. A few years ago, we went on a cruise that included visiting various parts of Iceland, and we even had a brief foray into the Arctic Circle. I was very hopeful that we would see the Northern Lights, but sadly itContinue reading “1292 – The Northern Lights”

Whilst not becoming obsessed, that will change a little bit. I’ll hazard a bet that sometime inContinue reading “1290 – The Bus Station”

I was a bit fired up after yesterday’s facebook post, which was incredibly well received by my friends, and was going to do a post about what was happening at the cross streets (north & south), which are about halfway down the high street. From a period sometime before we arrived in town these twoContinue reading “1289 – How it went this morning”

I went for a walk this morning. Before I left I checked the temperature and it was 10C. I thought that might be a bit cold, so in addition to my coat I put on a fleece, my flat cap and started out. Pretty much by the time I reached the end of the streetContinue reading “1288 – Walking”

I want to tell you a little bit about the bird table, I am delighted to say that it is quite popular with the local bird population, particularly the starlings. They are an absolute delight. It is also popular with the pigeons, now really I don’t mind them – most of the time. But justContinue reading “1287 – The Bird Table”

I want to write about my plans for the week ahead. The trouble is that if I go into specific details of what is on the schedule and I then don’t accomplish the plan, I both look and feel a bit silly. I have some stuff planned, which I may or may not do, butContinue reading “1286 – The week ahead”
