I’ve just done a quick search, and I have mentioned “The secret life of Shingle” in three other posts. I won’t bother to link to them, because I litterally just use the term, and then talk about something else. Anyhow, what am I talking about? Well, when I joined u3a at the beginning of theContinue reading “2151 – A Day in the life of Shingle”

2149 – Letter to Steve XXXIV – Lots of Natural History.
Dear Steve, I think this week’s letter, being written on Sunday evening, is a little bit strange, because for the first time in quite a while I didn’t know where to begin. Perhaps then I should start with my reading of Gilbert’s Letter XXXIV. I read Gilbert’s letter and immediately thought that’s going to beContinue reading “2149 – Letter to Steve XXXIV – Lots of Natural History.”
2144 – Camera Club & Acorns
I needed to get some cash this morning, so I thought I would turn the trip out into a quick walk. Heading for Asda, I was disappointed to find both of their cashpoints offline. Oh well, I might as well head in to town. I took the route alongside Haslar Lake. Why am I surprisedContinue reading “2144 – Camera Club & Acorns”
2141 – Things to Do
This morning, I went across to Portsmouth to meet up with some of my amateur radio friends in the Royal Maritime Club, where they do a very acceptable buffet breakfast. As we normally do, afterwards we sat in the rotunda for a bit of a chinwag, and then went our separate ways. We normally doContinue reading “2141 – Things to Do”
2099 – NO -IT’S NOT! IT’S 2138
I did a search because I wanted to find out the last time I did a blog about vlogging. It immediately threw up an anomally. It showed Post 2092 as being a post of interest. Well, that wasn’t right, according to my post numbering, that was only last week, plus the topic of 2092 wasContinue reading “2099 – NO -IT’S NOT! IT’S 2138”
2097 – 4th Monday
The 4th Monday of the month, is a busy day for me, especially at the moment. In the morning, I have u3a Stargazing. There’s a group of 5 or six of us that meet in The Vine, a cafe on Stokes Road, to talk about what else but The Stars. Well really, the night sky,Continue reading “2097 – 4th Monday”
2089 – Letter to Steve XXXI – Ants, Bees & Star Trek
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”
2125 – Microscopes & Photography
Even though the magnification of this microscope is nowhere near enough to be able to see things like bacteria, it serves really well, for having a closer and yet wider view of the subject. Which is all well and good. But if I’m writing about it, it would be really nice to be able toContinue reading “2125 – Microscopes & Photography”
2121 – Letter to Steve XXX – The fruit of the tree (or possibly bush).
Dear Steve, I read Gilbert’s Letter XXX with a little bit of bemusement. It was, to put it simply, a bit all over the place. In reality, there is no way I could produce a letter that was in line with his. This week, then, we will talk about the passion fruit bush thatContinue reading “2121 – Letter to Steve XXX – The fruit of the tree (or possibly bush).”
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”
