It’s 2345, and I nearly forgot the post, and as I don’t really have anything to write about, I’m afraid it’s another short one.

I’m sorry, it’s a very short post tonight. Just a placeholder. My brain has gone to sleep, and. I can’t think of anything to write

I would have gone for a walk this morning, but was raining so I didn’t bother. I had a couple of things I needed to do in town at lunchtime, and my plan had been to take an extended lunch break, and walk into town. But it was raining, so that didn’t happen, but IContinue reading “1216 – Rain”

I went for a quick morning walk down to the waterfront. I wanted to see what was happening with the roadworks at Crossways. From the picture you can see that things are progressing. There’s a sign that was put up around June time, which said the roadworks would take 50 weeks. I haven’t really workedContinue reading “1215 – A walk into Town”

One of my readers, Clive, commented on yesterday’s post in response to my question regarding using real places in fictional writing. It was a good question. His response was a slight departure, suggesting writing fiction using models of real people. I have to say that I would stay well away from that. He was correctContinue reading “1214 – Fictional real places”

This is one grumpy cat, but only she knows why. Just to finish off the box set thing. We ordered, for a quite reasonable price the DVD’S for seasons one to five from the great provider. They arrived today, and we’ve started watching – excellent. I’ve set Elayne a mission; when she goes into aContinue reading “1213 – the box set, and a question”

Last night I told you about a boxset we had only just started watching (8 seasons, 96 episodes), we had got to around the 7th episode of 13 in season one when the streaming service flashed up a message saying that the whole series was coming to the end of its run and would beContinue reading “1212 – What happened next? (see 1211)”

Earlier this week we found a new boxset to watch. Like all of the box sets, we wonder how it is going to develop. In this case, we were hooked by the third episode. A couple of episodes later, we were slightly disturbed to see a message flash up on the screen saying that theContinue reading “1211 – binge watching”

I went for a walk this morning. Not a long one, just around the cockle ponds. It wasn’t so much the walk, but what was going on around me. It’s not spring time yet, still a few weeks to go, but there is definitely something in the air. Actually, it is the birds. The doves,Continue reading “1210 – The walk”

I kind ran out of time this morning. I was only able to take a quick walk around Walpole park, but at least I got out for a bit. When Misty came in she was just very slightly damp, but there was no sign that it was raining. Luckily though I decided to put myContinue reading “1209 – just a short walk”
