Same machine, different view – unrelated to today’s post. We went to two car boot sales today, starting with Titchfield, a bit smaller than the last time. I think people may have been put off as there was a yellow thunderstorm warning. Think people come from quite far afield. I didn’t buy anything except aContinue reading “1389 – Sunday”

We have been very busy all day. Rushing around moving things. As a result we are very tired. Sorry for the very short post.

The new bus station is I reckon not much more than a month away from coming in to service. There is still work to be done to the actual bus shelter, the apron is ready, and groundwork is being done. I thought when I went for my walk this morning that I don’t have anyContinue reading “1387 – The Bus Station”

It is getting silly. I woke up around 4AM, and couldn’t get back to sleep. There’s no point in reading the new.. I would if there were a good news newspaper, As time marched on, I became increasingly stressed at the thought of getting up to go for a walk. Ridiculous I know, especially asContinue reading “1386 Not the morning walk”

I didn’t want to get up this morning, but I managed it. Still shorts weather, although I did put on a cardigan to keep out the slight breeze. I’ve been walking past this block of flats for quite a while now. This morning, there was a quality of light that really brought these to life.Continue reading “1385 – The morning walk”

Today, Elayne and I cycled down to Stokes Bay to visit the classic car show. I don’t count myself as a massive car buff, but there’s no denying that there were some lovely cars there. Particularly cars that had been imported from the USA, one a classic Buick, it was huge, and in immaculate condition.Continue reading “1384 – Gosport Classic Car Show”

The cat woke me up at around quarter to five this morning, I reached to give her a stroke, to find that she was beyond wet, absolutely drenched. I did the usual stroke her dry thing. Which meant a wet hand. When we eventually managed to get up, it was still chucking it down. ItContinue reading “1383 – Today”

Well, kind of. Our cat usually wakes us up in the morning, normally around a quarter to five. She’ll jump up onto the bed miaowing, I’ll reach out and give her a stroke and then go back to sleep. This morning, when I stroked her, she was wet. When that happens, I know I mightContinue reading “1382 – A Normal Day?”

Droxford Station Signal Box. A very pleasant couple of days. It has taken quite a few weeks for me to finish this 600-page book, working my way through it last thing at night trying to read usually between 5 – 10 pages before having to put the book down because of falling asleep. I thinkContinue reading “1381 – The Plantagenets by Dan Jones”

We saw this mum and her lovely foal as we were walking yesterday morning. It was our last full day at Droxford, the morning was lovely and relaxing, we spent the afternoon having a look around the shops at Wickham. Elayne bought a couple of compacts, I was toying with an idea, but Elayne scotchedContinue reading “1380 – Walking”
