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”

I managed to get up this morning in enough time for a dash to the waterfront. It was a bit chilly but that was ok. I was walking on the high street, heading away from the ferry. I found myself thinking about what the street might have been like in the 17th or 18th centuries.Continue reading “1140 – Morning Walk”

I have been off my game for quite a while now. I’m not happy with that fact, and am going to try to get back on track. My nightly posts might not be inspiring (have they ever been?) but if I don’t do them then I’ll never have the chance to inspire someone. After all,Continue reading “1139 – Regaining the habit…”
