Sorry, this is going to be a short post. I hadn’t realised the time. It’s twenty five to midnight and we have been binge watching season four of The Bay it’s quite gripping. Having just looked at my watch and realised the time, I don’t want to lose the day count in WordPress, so thisContinue reading “963 – Ooops”

I got my amateur radio licence almost seven years ago now. That seems unbelievable. I am by no means very technical, but I very much enjoy being part of an extremely friendly community. Living where I do, I am fairly close to the Isle of Wight. This whole area is a hot bed of licensedContinue reading “962 – Amateur Radio”

When I was out for my morning walk I thought I felt a couple of drops of rain. Literally two. It came to nothing and I got home dry. I had one of those days where I wasn’t able to get out for my lunchtime walk. A tad frustrating, but there you are. And then,Continue reading “961 – It’s Raining”

I take a lot of photos. A good ten to fifteen a day on most days, let’s say it averages out to 10 a day to make the maths easy; 3650 per year. Over the course of that year, perhaps three or four I might think are really good. Some, like todays header picture areContinue reading “960 – Neither a writer or photographer be”

I haven’t done any Vlogging. I have thought about it a little bit but not seriously. I still very much want to do it but I haven’t felt able to commit any time to it That’s not the only reason. I haven’t been able to think of subject matter. Most days Monday to Friday, IContinue reading “959 – a brief re-visit”

Until today, I had never heard of the Solent Protection Society until today. A picture of a plaque erected by the SPS was posted on the 365 project website. As soon as I saw the picture of the plaque, I got quite excited. Does the society still exist? A quick check of the WWW showsContinue reading “958 – Solent Protection Society”

The weather over the last couple of days has been glorious. Brilliant pretty much cloud free. We spent a bit of time working on the garden and the front of the house. The front has come up nicely. Not perfectly, but not bad. It’s two days now, where I had the opportunity to take aContinue reading “957 – I should have gone for a walk”

What a glorious day it has been. Barely a cloud in sky, brilliant sunshine and t-shirt weather. We spent a good part of the day in the garden both working and being very lazy.. Whilst we were being lazy, I watched the birds. I’d put the food on the table, and we took up residenceContinue reading “956 – Birds”

This is the Contentin. It’s the first time I’ve seen this one. Nearly every morning that I do my morning walk, and end up at the waterfront I end up seeing one of the Brittany Ferries. Regulars that I am quite familiar with are the Normandie and the Mon St Michel, they are the realContinue reading “955 – The Contentin”

What I would really like to do is to walk down Gosport’s High Street, but the key thing is – with a historian. Now this is the awkward bit, I’d like it to be someone quite well known, perhaps Prof. Alice Roberts (ok, not really a historian, but she is good), Lucy Worsley or SimonContinue reading “954 – A walk down the High Street.”
