Sorry, the picture is a little bit fuzzy if you embiggen it. It’s the view from our hotel room on the night we arrived in Malta. I have to confess, I was a bit surprised to get here. It all started at around 3:15PM on Monday, I was flicking the the news on the iPadContinue reading “1090 – Monday & Tuesday”

I think the count will be reset. I wrote last nights post, but fell asleep before I published it, so it went early this morning. That’s frustrating, but that’s how it goes. The lunchtime walk in to town was a bit rushed. But it was pleasant nonetheless. The high street ŵas surprisingly full of people.Continue reading “1089 – Friday”

I’ve left it too late in the evening again for it to be anything other than a rushed post. Sorry about that. I did my usual Thursday night radio net, which was interesting, not really much about radio more about flying light aircraft. I must take a look at Alaskan bush pilots, apparently they areContinue reading “1088 – A bit of colour”

one of the flaws of this blog is a lack of planning. Many (most) of my posts are spontaneous and I have nothing in reserve. What I should be doing is writing two posts a day, but only posting one. By the end of a month of doing that I would have thirty spare postsContinue reading “1087 – one of those days”

I managed to get up at 6:30AM I walked to the waterfront as I passed one particular shop I saw a person whom I really want to stay away from. He said something but I assumed he wasn’t talking to me. I ignored him. I stopped and talked to friend for a couple of minutesContinue reading “1086 – An unpleasant side”

No, it’s not wrong, I don’t mean our monarch, Charles III. I was walking along the timeline on the high street looking to see which date line I could write about next at it was in 1684 that King Charles II visited Gosport. The purpose of the visit was to inspect the defences. Whilst heContinue reading “1085 – King Charles II”

I’m reading a book about ley lines – called the new view over Atlantis by 5John Michell. Now I’ve already acknowledged that the whole ley line thing is interesting but no more than that. I’ve reached a point of the book where the author is talking about how features built by people thousands of yearsContinue reading “1084 – Here be Dragons”

It has been a lovely day. We walked into town, ending up at the waterfront. We sat there for a while, not talking to anybody, but that’s ok. We had a bit of a browse around the shops. For some reason, I went into CEX I bought a couple of DVD’s. Well, a star gateContinue reading “1083 – Saturday”

The water front that is. A surprisingly warm easterly breeze was too strong to describe as caressing my face. Not at all unpleasant. There seemed to be a haze in the harbour. Like I say it seemed strange. Even the sound of the harbour were ringing in my ears. I could hear quite clearly theContinue reading “1082 – It felt strange”

Obviously not a tumuli. A tumuli is usually a mound of earth covering a probably Neolithic grave (from 4000 – 2000 BC). I have this map. On the map I marking the Neolithic sites. I’m only a few 1km squares along the mark up, and I am astounded at the number of sites that IContinue reading “1081 – Tumuli”
