I’m not aware of Misty chasing birds. I can’t recall her ever bringing one in. Now, mice are a different matter we assume there’s a colony somewhere in the garden as every so often we’ll wake up to one laid on the carpet. Presumably for us to top up our larder but we aren’t hereContinue reading “1200 – The Birds”

I had a thought today (I know, l know), it was about life in the garden. What triggered the thought was a cat – not our Misty, a nearby neighbours moggy. Cute looking thing, quite long hair, white with patches of faded grey, I don’t know its name but for the sake of argument, let’sContinue reading “1199 – Garden Life”

Something went wrong last June time. For some reason, I lost the urge to get up at 0535. I would do my walk and then before work I would do my Facebook post. A paragraph about the walk, had I seen anything interesting? Perhaps a cruise ship came in, or it was a particularly niceContinue reading “1198 Facebook”

My brain at this moment is surprisingly like this picture; flat, not particularly exciting and devoid of anything to write about. I am having to deploy the trick of writing about what it is that’s stopping me from writing tonight. At the moment it’s mainly a lack of fresh material. I’m sorry,, it’s going toContinue reading “1197 – writers block”

There’s this chap in the States, he looks for strange things on Google Maps, which could be anything from strange coloured round things laid in a straight line, through ancient rock formations and ancient buildings, he’ll then go and visit them and film the visit. These do make interesting videos. I think it would be quiteContinue reading “1196 – Google Maps & strange places”

I have an interest in visiting ancient sites. The problem is that there don’t seem to be any in this local area. It makes it difficult to do a quick visit. The benefit of a move to Dorset, if only solely to serve my interest was made abundantly clear yesterday. Stood in the car parkContinue reading “1195 – Thoughts”

The picture is of an ancient site. It does not have any specific link that I am aware of with the subject of today’s post. I went to Dorset today. We were driving between Wool and East Lulworth. The sun was shining, the countryside was a lot of the beautiful rolling downs that is typicalContinue reading “1194 – Frustration”

Once again, I find myself with nothing particular to write about. It’s going to be a short boring post. Sorry about that.

James Popsys is a photographer. He has a YouTube channel. I enjoy watching his videos. He has a dry, self-deprecating style of humour. He certainly gets around a fair bit and has a certain photographic style. He reviews a lot of equipment, but that isn’t the main reason I watch his channel. I find his style relaxing and can haveContinue reading “1192 – James Popsys”

I managed to get out for a twenty minute walk this morning. Not very early, around half past seven. Nothing to report, it wasn’t very spectacular. I haven’t been near the see front for several days now, or monitored the roadworks on the high street. All a bit sad really. I wish I could workContinue reading “1191 – This Morning”
