1968 – Murder Mysteries And Jellyfish
Elayne has been away for a couple of days. Left to my own devices at home, I had some household jobs which I made sure were done today, before anything else. Then sat down to decide what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I looked up the Gosport Discovery CentreContinue reading “1968 – Murder Mysteries And Jellyfish”
1948 – Project Hail Mary
A while ago, I think on the order of a few months, Alex strongly suggested that I read a science fiction book, Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir (Author of The Martian – both the book and the film are superb). I listened to the audio version rather than read the book, and I haveContinue reading “1948 – Project Hail Mary”
1915 – U3A Monday, Feb Week 4
Monday of the 4th week of the month is a busy day for me, from a University of the 3rd Age (U3A) point of view. I have two sessions one in the morning, Stargazing. The meeting is held in the Vine on Stoke Road, very nice. Run by Antony, he makes sure. that we don’tContinue reading “1915 – U3A Monday, Feb Week 4”
1899 – A Routine
I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”
1896 – The U3A Monthly Meeting
The U3A works on a four weekly cycle, which I am guessing (without doing any reasearch whatsoever, hence the guess) could get out of synch with the calendar months pretty quickly. Actually, thinking about it, if a month has five weeks, then nothing would be scheduled there. Anyhow, to lock the 20 day cycle (nothingContinue reading “1896 – The U3A Monthly Meeting”
1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!
With Elayne away, in London & the house jobs done, I have time to do what I want. Only snag is – what do I want to do? I thought i might go over to Portsmouth, get on the next bus to depart and take it to the end, wherever that might be (Probably Fareham,Continue reading “1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!”
1773 – Books
My reading recently has been a bit all over the place. When we were in Pagham, I took the opportunity to pop into Heygates Bookshop in the Railway Station, a very nice 2nd hand Bookshop that is always a pleasure to have a browse. The last time I was there is quite memorable – itContinue reading “1773 – Books”
1738 – The Week Ahead & Creative Writing.
I think the first think that I want to commit to is doing more than two Facebook Posts this week. You might get them later in the day, but I am determined to do this. There won’t be an early walk on Monday. It’s a Bank Holiday, so I get the chance of a bitContinue reading “1738 – The Week Ahead & Creative Writing.”
