It has only just registered that I didn’t do a post last night. I don’t know why, I just didn’t get around to it. Nothing in the town is inspiring me at the moment.

Normally, when I’ve been doing this blog, my mind is in one of two states. Pretty much as it is now, empty of things that are really bugging me, or buzzing with a topic that I’m keen to write about. At the moment, my mind isn’t buzzing, there’s no particular topic that is driving me.Continue reading “1129 – What’s bugging me?”

This morning was quite pleasant. Not cold, but the dark is now with us. The roadworks on the cross streets are progressing, but it seems slowly. the pedestrian surface is, I think, a form of block paving, I’m not sure of the proper name. I’m guessing that will have to come up if the roadContinue reading “1128 – Getting out for a walk”

Perhaps, for the time being at least, I won’t be getting up at the early hours I used to, but we are moving into that time of year that regardless of what time I do get up it will be dark. If it’s dark and I want to take pictures that are steady I haveContinue reading “1127 – The Time of Year”

I went out to the shed to get the birds breakfast ready, and did looked at the rain guage (19mm) the thermometer and the barometer. Only to find that the needle on the barometer was all the way over to the left, clearly now working. That was a bit disappointing. It only took me twoContinue reading “1126 – Analogue Barometers”

I’m sat here, having written the title of today’s post, and thinking OK, what can I write about? It’s the unfocussed thing. There have been times over the previous 1124 posts when I have been fairly obsessed over things, whether that’s history, vlogging, books, photography, the birdtable, the weather, walking, not walking. there have beenContinue reading “1125 – I’m a bit unfocussed”

Feeding the birds is an activity that gives me intense pleasure. There is of course the grey wagtail, which I don’t see every day, but I am fairly confident that there is a squadron of starlings that drop in for a refueling session at least once a day, and individually over the course of theContinue reading “1124 – Bird Food”

It’s not unknown for me to get in to a situation where I have more than one book that I want to read, and can’t make up my mind which one to stick with. Currently, I have three books on the go; I’m not being consistent about reading books alternately I might read one forContinue reading “1123 – Books of the week”

I don’t have a picture. Not of what I’m writing about at least. we were pottering about doing bits and pieces and Elayne asked me to do something in the garden. As I exited the back door, a bird took off showing a flash of yellow and streaking away with a bit of a squawk.Continue reading “1122 – A Delight”

Ok. So I might not have blogged every day, but I am trying to get back in to the routine of writing every day. I’m aiming now for 1200 posts, with 80 days to go, that takes us towards the end of the year, quite apt really. The thing for me is writing about thingsContinue reading “1121 – The Week”
