1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem

I haven’t done any vlogging for a while, which I think is a pity, and not a situation that I want to be in. Part of the problem is that can’t think of topics on which to vlog. I have to admit, that I was a bit stuck on what my blog entry might beContinue reading “1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem”

1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.

I’ve repeated the use of last nights bad picture quite deliberately. In my post 1911 Making Smoke, I wrote a letter to my friend Steve on the lines of Gilbert Whites Letter No. II from his book, The Natural History of Selborne. Today’s post continues what I hope will be a trend of letters; HiContinue reading “1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.”

1916 – A Lovely day.

We had a bit of admin to deal with first thing, Once that was sout of the way I was able to head into town. Unfortunately, I was having a problem with my hearing aids. Went back to Scrivens, who had supplied them to me, and one of their staff, a young man, immediately andContinue reading “1916 – A Lovely day.”

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”

1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things

I’m supposed to be reading the Gilbert White letters. I’m starting at the beginning, with letter 1, rather than working on the dates of the letters. Apparently, he was a bit more subtle than that, as I thought I should. So, I have the delight of reading this Afternoon. I am disappointed that I didn’tContinue reading “1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things”

1906 – What to do?

It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”

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”

1894 Today, should have been then.

Today turned out to be what i had really hoped and expected a routine Monday to look and feel like. A had to go and pick up a prescription, but then walked up to The Shed. We had the weekly meeting, and then I just stayed and chatted to a few people. Which was quiteContinue reading “1894 Today, should have been then.”

1877 – A Trip Out

I had a bit of a trip out today, It started really with breakfast in the local travellodge, which was very nice. I had arrived at the ferry terminal whilst The Spirit of Gosport was over on the Portsmouth side, so I had a few minutes spare. Now, I don’t normally take pictures of NavyContinue reading “1877 – A Trip Out”
