You’d think that being closer to 1200 posts I would by now have developed a more consistent topic rather than being a bit all over the place. What do I want to write about? Perhaps the most obvious topic would be my work specialisation but actually, no I don’t want that. It’s not that I’mContinue reading “1150 what to say?”

I have written about vlogging in the past. I think I may have mentioned the two people whose style I would most like to copy. It’s strange how the brain mixes things up. I was convinced that one of the people whose style I’d like to copy appeared on the 60’s tv programme How. ThatContinue reading “1149 A slight diversion”

We are carrying on with some things that I have been reading about in the Write Now magazine. One of first articles I read posed four questions, I’m going to spend the next few nights answering them as honestly as I can. The first question is; What kind of writer do I want to be?Continue reading “1148 what type?”

Thursday was a busy day. Finishing work around midday, I headed up to Fareham for a Christmas meal with work colleagues. A very nice meal it was as well, a chicken & bacon terrine, traditional turkey and Christmas pudding. Nice portions, I felt quite full. I had a couple of 0% alcohol Peronis. I haveContinue reading “1147 Thursday, Saturday & Writing”

We had a bit of a discussion last night about what we were going to do over the weekend. I thought that I would go over to Portsmouth and spend a bit of time on Commercial road. I had two reasons for doing this; To visit Waterstones and because the Christmas market will likely beContinue reading “1146 – Misty Day”

There’s a thing that I want to write about, but it’s really quite personal I’ve already mentioned it in recent posts, so it is in the public domain, but I want to write about it in such a way that doesn’t expose me personally any more than I want to. It’s the depression / anxietyContinue reading “1145 – It’s very strange”

Write something that is. I really should. But what to write? Anxiety attacks (relatively mild, explains a lot no idea why, but probably not depression) and veruccas. of which, I have one – not a dislocated toe as I thought. No, perhaps not. Too personal? Possibly. I have no possessive thoughts on the verucca, soContinue reading “1144 – I really should”

Are these emerging signs of a return to relative normality? For the first time in really quite a long time my interest in vlogging is rising. A have had a bit of a problem with kit, specifically wireless microphones. I don’t understand why but mobile phones don’t have a way of directly interfacing with aContinue reading “1143 – Vlogging”

There was some beautiful light this morning. At this time of year, I guess it was because of getting out quite late this morning. Worthy of a couple of pictures today. The new feature? Well, I have an iPhone 12, when I was taking pictures this morning, I noticed a bar in the middle ofContinue reading “1142 – A new feature”

I have, several times in my life, consumed too much alcohol and have achieved an enhanced state of inebriation. But in each of those times I don’t think it would be dishonest of me to say that I was in a happy, friendly state. I disclose this information to you because it relates to somethingContinue reading “1141 walking”
