I’m hoping this works; https://wordpress.com/post/localitystories.com/2174. That’s a cross reference to the link I am thinking of writing about tonight. That’s one of the frustrations of posting to this blog – will what I write about work?  What do I mean by work? Well, make sense – ignoring my typos and occasional bad English, and they happen because IContinue reading “1190 – Post 590”

For the first time tonight, I actively thought about giving up this blog. Perhaps when I reach the 1200th post. But then I started thinking, why am I even considering this? What is going on here? Then I got to thinking about what is the blog for, if not mine to express my thoughts throughContinue reading “1189 – Considering this Blog”

The phone, my phone has a superb camera. Whilst I may not actually, lets be honest whilst I am not anywhere near a good photographer, that doesn’t stop me from producing photos of an almost excellent technical quality. But, that is entirely down to the camera on my phone and nothing at all to do with me.Continue reading “1188 – Cameras”

We went to Dorset today. Family business – won’t say any more about that. But for lunch we went to a local pub that we have been to several times and know quite well. They always serve delicious food. Today, I had Pork and Stuffing pie, it was delicious. The pub was the Sailors Return. There’s quite a story toContinue reading “1187 – Dorset”

Not these birds, gulls. Although a man almost at the bottom of the garden does feed gulls. Quite often I see half a dozen or so on his roof. Actually, I quite like that he does that. He also has a flag pole and always has a flag up. It’s quite useful for wind strengthContinue reading “1186 – The Bird table”

I have a bunch of magazines to read. The dilemma is that I don’t want to interrupt my reading of the book I wrote about yesterday. The Magazines are; I’m not sure what order I’m going to read them, and I probably won’t every article. What do I get from these magazines? Well, the obvious answers areContinue reading “1185 – Magazines & YouTube”

I haven’t been for a walk today, in fact over the last two days I haven’t left the house. Once again I stress that I am not agoraphobic, even just thinking about going outside doesn’t bring me out in a cold sweat.  In fact the first sentence of this post isn’t strictly accurate I have beenContinue reading “1184 – Current Book”

I don’t like them. I never have. Don’t ever ask me to do the “face your fear” thing which involves handling a really big one (I can’t even bring myself to write the word tarant…..). So I’m usually a bit nervous when I encounter one of the beasties. Luckily, I managed quite a few years ago, to cureContinue reading “1183 Spiders”

The view across to Fawley from Hamble Sorry, just keeping the count going. Really late tonight.

I think this is a facility for showing people what it is like to be in a lifeboat being dropped into the water. The facility is in Warsash the opposite side of the river Hamble, from where I took this. I almost missed doing a post tonight. I was thinking about thing and reading theContinue reading “1181 – Nearly missed it”
