Something went wrong last June time. For some reason, I lost the urge to get up at 0535. I would do my walk and then before work I would do my Facebook post. A paragraph about the walk, had I seen anything interesting? Perhaps a cruise ship came in, or it was a particularly niceContinue reading “1198 Facebook”

My brain at this moment is surprisingly like this picture; flat, not particularly exciting and devoid of anything to write about. I am having to deploy the trick of writing about what it is that’s stopping me from writing tonight. At the moment it’s mainly a lack of fresh material. I’m sorry,, it’s going toContinue reading “1197 – writers block”

There’s this chap in the States, he looks for strange things on Google Maps, which could be anything from strange coloured round things laid in a straight line, through ancient rock formations and ancient buildings, he’ll then go and visit them and film the visit. These do make interesting videos. I think it would be quiteContinue reading “1196 – Google Maps & strange places”

I have an interest in visiting ancient sites. The problem is that there don’t seem to be any in this local area. It makes it difficult to do a quick visit. The benefit of a move to Dorset, if only solely to serve my interest was made abundantly clear yesterday. Stood in the car parkContinue reading “1195 – Thoughts”

The picture is of an ancient site. It does not have any specific link that I am aware of with the subject of today’s post. I went to Dorset today. We were driving between Wool and East Lulworth. The sun was shining, the countryside was a lot of the beautiful rolling downs that is typicalContinue reading “1194 – Frustration”

Once again, I find myself with nothing particular to write about. It’s going to be a short boring post. Sorry about that.

James Popsys is a photographer. He has a YouTube channel. I enjoy watching his videos. He has a dry, self-deprecating style of humour. He certainly gets around a fair bit and has a certain photographic style. He reviews a lot of equipment, but that isn’t the main reason I watch his channel. I find his style relaxing and can haveContinue reading “1192 – James Popsys”

I managed to get out for a twenty minute walk this morning. Not very early, around half past seven. Nothing to report, it wasn’t very spectacular. I haven’t been near the see front for several days now, or monitored the roadworks on the high street. All a bit sad really. I wish I could workContinue reading “1191 – This Morning”

I’m hoping this works; https://wordpress.com/post/localitystories.com/2174. That’s a cross reference to the link I am thinking of writing about tonight. That’s one of the frustrations of posting to this blog – will what I write about work?  What do I mean by work? Well, make sense – ignoring my typos and occasional bad English, and they happen because IContinue reading “1190 – Post 590”

For the first time tonight, I actively thought about giving up this blog. Perhaps when I reach the 1200th post. But then I started thinking, why am I even considering this? What is going on here? Then I got to thinking about what is the blog for, if not mine to express my thoughts throughContinue reading “1189 – Considering this Blog”
