Isn’t it strange how things change? In the early 1990’s when I was living in Berlin, I spent a fair bit of money (DM300 comes to mind, probably about £100 as was then) purchasing a small micro-tape recorder. The idea was to record my thoughts and impressions of my time in the city. I stillContinue reading “136/366 The Comfort Zone”

135/366 Is it Monday?
I went to put some rubbish in the bin, and then put the bin out ready for the bin men, except it’s Saturday, and the bins aren’t emptied until Monday. I’ve had that “Is it Monday today” feeling all day, which in a way is a good thing, because when I accept that it isn’tContinue reading “135/366 Is it Monday?”
134/366 Christmas Day
I find myself a little bit stumped about what to write. We had a wonderful Christmas meal, the turkey was cooked perfectly, and we did the Christmas pudding thing with Brandy, which went very well. I feel I should say something about the purpose of the day, the spiritual aspect of it, but I feelContinue reading “134/366 Christmas Day”
133/366 The iPhone12
I’m not sure, but I think this house is the vicarage for the Trinity Church. It backs on to the part of the Gosport Ramparts. OK, so, I confess. I have upgraded. My provider offered to pay off the remainder of my contract if I upgraded. I was keen to, I must admit. My mainContinue reading “133/366 The iPhone12”
132/366 The Gosport Society & Books
The Normandie & the Gosport Ferries caught with a long exposure. The Gosport Society have released a commemorating booklet, celebrating its first fifty years. It has been very active in preserving the heritage of Gosport. The value of the society was proven necessary in respect of the tower blocks that were built in Gosport (here’sContinue reading “132/366 The Gosport Society & Books”
131/366 Tuesday Morning & Rain
The Methodist Church on Stokes Road. I took a slightly different route to normal. It was quite pleasant to do that. The red streak bottom left is a car going past, left to right so I caught the tail lights. I wanted to talk about the rain. I took some rubbish out to the bin,Continue reading “131/366 Tuesday Morning & Rain”
130/366 The Story of Art
The earth mound between me and Trinity Church are part of the Gosport ramparts built in the 1800’s. Taken on Saturday out on a walk. So, I finished the Story of Art last night. I started reading it in October, so it’s taken me a fair bit of time to get through it. I haveContinue reading “130/366 The Story of Art”
129/366 Sunday & Vlogging
I haven’t been out at all today, except for one trip to the supermarket, to get some bits and pieces. I spent a bit of time tidying the office. There’s still much to do. I need to get better at compartmentalising things. I have a fairly big radio project that I am working on. ThereContinue reading “129/366 Sunday & Vlogging”
128/366 Tier 4 & A walk
It’s not so much that this is a diary, it isn’t really. It’s my meanderings, which you are kind enough to read. But there are times, moments I suppose of history, which are worth marking. The last and biggest for me was being in Berlin in November 1989, when the wall came down. I’m notContinue reading “128/366 Tier 4 & A walk”
127/366 The Holiday
OK, so really, the picture bears no relationship with tonight’s post. We are sat watching a film, the main stars are Kate Winslett and Cameron Diaz. It’s one of the Christmassy films, you know exactly how it’s going to work out, but you still watch it. It’’s entertaining. I didn’t go fora walk this morning,Continue reading “127/366 The Holiday”
