It’s just gone 1130PM. less than half an hour to midnight, at which point my post counter will either stay is it is, or be reset to 0. Currently, it stands at about 20. I think the most I have ever got to is around 116. Can you imagine my frustration when, at 116, forContinue reading “1992 – Looking at the beach”

1990 – Letter to Steve XII
Dear Steve, If I were in a position to be able to photograph the nest of a harvest mouse, I’d eagerly grab it, obviously without disturbing the occupants. The nests are quite a feat of engineering. I certainly wouldn’t do what Gilbert did, take one indoors and roll it around on the table, apparently withContinue reading “1990 – Letter to Steve XII”
1989 – Taking it easy
I have to confess that I don’t like talking about any ailments that I might have. The one exception to this is if it affects something like going for a walk. Which is what happened to me on Thursday. I’d been for a walk along my usual route, past the Cockle Ponds, along the seaContinue reading “1989 – Taking it easy”
1983 – Letter to Steve XI
Dear Steve, I read through Letter XI, and I confess, I was more than a bit surprised by the first paragraph. Gilbert had acquired a dead falcon. Taking it into his home, he took measurements of it, and looked at its characteristics. That kind of floored me a bit. What could I do that wasContinue reading “1983 – Letter to Steve XI”
1977 – u3a Monday
I call it u3a Monday, because I have a morning and an afternoon session, which always happens on the 4th Monday of the month. The morning session is stargazing. At this group, we gather to talk about what we have all done over the last month, what events are scheduled in the month ahead, andContinue reading “1977 – u3a Monday”
1974 – The Shed, a Stroll and Bad News!
The fourth Friday of the Month means a Gosport Shed Breakfast. For £8, I get a nice Full English, toast and 2 cups of tea. Once everybody has finished, there’s usually a speaker who will give a 5-10 minute talk. Usually, if it is a member of the club, the talk will be about someContinue reading “1974 – The Shed, a Stroll and Bad News!”
1968 – Murder Mysteries And Jellyfish
Elayne has been away for a couple of days. Left to my own devices at home, I had some household jobs which I made sure were done today, before anything else. Then sat down to decide what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I looked up the Gosport Discovery CentreContinue reading “1968 – Murder Mysteries And Jellyfish”
1964 – Busy doing Nothing
It is getting to a bit of a pleasant routine that would normally happen on a Monday morning, except it’s a day late this week. Having made a cup of tea and fed the cat, I come back upstairs and retreive Gilbert’s book from the office. I settle down to read the next letter fromContinue reading “1964 – Busy doing Nothing”
1942 – Letter to Steve V
Hi Steve, I was really looking forward to reading Gilbert White’s Letter V, but when I started to read it, I have to confess I had some difficulty understanding the language he was using. For example he talked towards the beginning about hollow lanes. It took me a little while that he was talking aboutContinue reading “1942 – Letter to Steve V”
1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.
I got out of the house later than I intended this morning. Catching the bus down to the interchange. I paused at the waterfront I almost missed the Guillaum De Normandie completely, but was just able to see it go around the corner at the top of the channel. I had a quick chat withContinue reading “1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.”
