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.

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.

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.”

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”
