Dear Steve, I really haven’t paid as much attention to letter XXXI this week as I should have done. I can’t give you a good reason. Having just reread the letter and reviewed the discussions I have had with my assistant, I think the view that I am taking with regard to XXXI is thatContinue reading “2089 – Letter to Steve XXXI – Ants, Bees & Star Trek”

2126 – Friday
It was a bit of a culture shock to have to get up early, and get out of the house. Well, early is debatable I suppose, in this case it was 8AM, isn’t really that early (I can imagine my readers moaning – “what is he on about”?) Anyway, I was heading up to ThorngateContinue reading “2126 – Friday”
2114 – Letter to Steve XXIX – Conkers & Beech nuts
Dear Steve, The first thing that I noticed about Letter XXIX was its date. May. Given that it is now October, there’s a bit of difference in the context. The beginning and the end of the summer (kind of). I don’t think that is too much of a problem. When I first started looking atContinue reading “2114 – Letter to Steve XXIX – Conkers & Beech nuts”
2112 – Friday
As it was Friday, this afternoon I would be working in the Charity shop where I volunteer. It’s only the afternoon, 1300-1630, 3.5 hours so it’s not overly onerous, indeed, I really enjoy interacting with the customers. The problem today was there weren’t many of them. Strangely though, it didn’t seem like that. Perhaps nextContinue reading “2112 – Friday”
2094 – Letter to Steve XXVII – That’s just nature all over.
Dear Steve, Hedgehogs are the main topic of Gilbert’s letter XXVII. For once, he has done something with a wild animal that I understand and acknowledge. I’m not sure how he procured (his word) his family of hedgehogs; I hope it was not by stealing from their mother, and I am sure he treated themContinue reading “2094 – Letter to Steve XXVII – That’s just nature all over.”
2093 – A road trip
The A3 is an interesting road. I’ve not only driven along it quite a few times, but it has also given me more than a few adventures. I passed my Amateur Radio Foundation exam in 2016; not long after that, I joined an organisation called RAYNET. I had a great time being a part ofContinue reading “2093 – A road trip”
2087 – Letter to Steve XXVI – Travels & Heat
Dear Steve, A couple of comments on the photo that I include with this week’s letter. I was curious to see this little plant, so vibrantly green against the severely blanched grass next to it, and couldn’t help wondering how it did that, how did it manage to stay so green? And then, looking atContinue reading “2087 – Letter to Steve XXVI – Travels & Heat”
2081 – A photograph & a walk
These two watering cans have been moving around the garden. Over the weekend, they were on the love chairs, but Elayne painted those yesterday, so they had to be moved. They had caught my eye and I’ve just not managed to take the photo, until today. For some reason, the two cans (well, one isContinue reading “2081 – A photograph & a walk”
2080 Letter to Steve XXV
Dear Steve, Gilbert devotes the entirety of his Letter XXV to birds and reptiles, especially smelly snakes (snakes that generate a smell to defend themselves). The weather at the moment really prevents me from going anywhere unless I absolutely have to. I can’t match that. It’s been too hot for me to have been veryContinue reading “2080 Letter to Steve XXV”
2079 – Blog activity
Looking back, I’ve realised that it is not far short of a month and a half since I last posted a photo that deliberately includes the Spinnaker. In the past, I could take, even if I don’t post, several pictures at a time. I want to talk just briefly about a series of posts thatContinue reading “2079 – Blog activity”
