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”
1840 – It’s that day
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”
1824 – A lovely Sunday
I’m cheating a little bit, this looks like I went for a walk today. I didn’t. Instead we had a really pleasant day in. Breakfast was cereals and a Banana. The cereals are on trial from Aldis and not my normal fayre. But it turns out these are quite acceptable. We had a lunch toContinue reading “1824 – A lovely Sunday”
1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!
With Elayne away, in London & the house jobs done, I have time to do what I want. Only snag is – what do I want to do? I thought i might go over to Portsmouth, get on the next bus to depart and take it to the end, wherever that might be (Probably Fareham,Continue reading “1817 – I bought a book (what a surprise)!”
1810 – A Delightful Day
We went to Marwell. I have been before. but it was several years ago. The zoo is easy to get to, less than 20 miles from home. It wasn’t on the plan. but the first thing we did even before checking in was go to the cafeteria and have breakfast. As it happens, it wasContinue reading “1810 – A Delightful Day”
