I’ll tell you about the photograph towards the bottom of this post. Today, was one of those signpost days that most people experience – I retired. I went to work this morning, but it really wasn’t a normal day. I had a chat with my boss, and wished him goodbye. I had already had similarContinue reading “1840 – It’s that day”

1830 – A trip to the Island
I promised myself that if a bus turned up within two minutes of my arrival at the bus stop at the bottom of our road, I would save myself a bit of time and get on. Something was working in my favour because I looked around just as I got there and stuck my handContinue reading “1830 – A trip to the Island”
1803 – A walk in to town
We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit. We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top.Continue reading “1803 – A walk in to town”
1682 – A quick trip in to town
I took a weekend stroll in to town today. There was one of the special markets on, which was nice to see. My walk was at around 0900, so stalls were still being set up, so I hope they had a busy day – there was certainly the weather for it. I was pleased toContinue reading “1682 – A quick trip in to town”
1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth
Elayne said she likes this picture because it has the four tower blocks and The Trinity Church Tower. I hadn’t really planned anything particular for the day other than I wanted to walk in to town. But then I found the little notebook that I normally take with me, and read the last entry, datedContinue reading “1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth”
1222 Dorset v. Hampshire
Arundel Castle from the train. Arundel isn’t in either Hampshire or Dorset, so why have I posted it? Well, it was the first photo from the selection that appealed to me, and I don’t think I’ve used it before. I have to be honest with you, I pretty much can barely wait to get toContinue reading “1222 Dorset v. Hampshire”
138/366 Street Photography Now
I took this picture in 2010 in London. It was a from-the-hip grab shot as I was walking along Oxford Street. I just pressed the button as I walked past her. Undoubtedly an attractive girl, looking worried on phone against a poster of attractive people. I do hope she was OK. It is, in myContinue reading “138/366 Street Photography Now”
137/366 Out for a walk
Yesterday, I wrote about being out of my comfort zone. I want to continue that for a bit (no more video at the moment, that was a practice). The forecasters were pretty much right, it had been raining all morning and was due to stop between 11-12, which it did. I wanted a change toContinue reading “137/366 Out for a walk”
136/366 The Comfort Zone
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?”
