Bonkers really loves his cat soup (and doesn't mind showing it off on his mouth). This is the brunch we gave him this morning. As is usual, he ate about 20% then wandered off. We saved the remainder for his lunch and pre-dinner. Yuba in the background wouldn't mind if someone gave him some cat soup as well...
It was a COLD night, but no snow :-)

a decent day to climb back on the road bike. This is my turnaround/snack point on a 25 mile RT ride from Emerald Isle to Pine Knoll Shores, NC. Highly recommend this route. Except when there is a SW 15 - 20. Then the return trip is brutal.

"Genesis 1:3-26
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. [a]So the evening and the morning were the first day.6 Then God said, “Let there be a [b]firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great [c]lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living [d]creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the [e]firmament of the heavens.” 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [f]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”.... ~

Originally ordered for lease to Alitalia as EI-CVK, the lease was cancelled and the aircraft was delivered to Virgin Atlantic Airways as G-VROY in Jun-01. It was sold to GECAS on delivery and leased back to Virgin Atlantic.
Due to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mar-20, Virgin Atlantic made the decision to immediately retire the remaining seven aircraft in the B747-400 fleet. G-VROY was initially parked at London-Heathrow at the end of Mar-20.
Then it was briefly stored at Glasgow, Scotland and Manchester in May-20 before ferrying to Ciudad Real, Spain in late Jun-20 for further storage. The aircraft ferried back to London-Heathrow in mid Nov-20 before moving to Marana, AZ, USA in Dec-20.
It was returned to the lessor and leased to Atlas Air Inc as N482MC in Jan-21. It remained stored at Marana until Jul-21 when it moved to Houston-Intercontinental (presume for cabin reconfig and painting). The aircraft entered service in Dec-21 and currently operates trooping flights for the US Government. Updated 06-Nov-22.
In the mid to late 1980s Leyland introduced a mid engine chassis, with support from its Danish associate company DAB. This was to compete with Volvo's Citybus chassis which was launched in 1982.
Thirty-two Lions were built for UK operators, with the Scottish Bus Group taking most (nineteen) and the balance (thirteen) going to Nottingham City Transport. The latter operator gained a further five Lions in 1989. These had been ordered by SBG, and they arrived in Nottingham after use by Chester City Transport.
The six Lion LDTL11/1R / Alexander CH49/37F built for Kelvin in 1987, were not delivered to that operator. Financial difficulties at Kelvin meant all six buses where stored at Alexander’s Coachworks in Falkirk for many months. The batch eventually went to Clydeside, although one was used by Leyland which demonstrated it to other operators.
The following notes (up to the mid 1990s only) give some more information about the "Kelvin" vehicles.
D851 RDS, built as Kelvin 2851 (chassis number 8600462, body number RH47 2586/1). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 160, E160 YGB (then temporarily Western 960), reregistered VLT 166 (12/92), then E889 CDS (5/94). Became Chester 16, then Nottingham as 399 (8/98).
D852 RDS, built as Kelvin 2852 (chassis number 8600463, body number RH47 2586/2). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 165, D865 RDS (then temporarily Western 965), and also used as a Leyland Demonstrator. Reregistered 705 DYE (12/92?), then D160 UGA before withdrawal and disposal to Cottrell, Mitcheldean (7/94).
D853 RDS, built as Kelvin 2853 (chassis number 8600464, body number RH47 2586/3). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 161, E161 YGB, (then temporarily Western 961), reregistered FSU 661 (12/92), then E925 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 17, then Nottingham 397 (8/98).
D854 RDS built as Kelvin 2854 (chassis number 8600465, body number RH47 2586/4). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 162, E162 YGB (then temporarily Western 962), reregistered 32 CLT (12/92), then E941 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 18, then Nottingham as 396 (8/98).
D855 RDS, built as Kelvin 2855 (chassis number 8600466, body number RH47 2586/5). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 163, E163 YGB (then temporarily Western 963), reregistered WLT 364 (12/92), then E938 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 19, then Nottingham as 398 (8/98).
D856 RDS built as Kelvin 2856 (chassis number 8600467, body number RH47 2586/6). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 164, E164 YGB (then temporarily Western 964), reregistered VLT 204 (12/92), then E935 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 20, then Nottingham as 396 (8/98).

M1923 Cartridge Belt dated 1942. This one is still in really good shape. Reproduction cartridge belts are out there that look really good. Cartridge belts are becoming quite expensive if they are in good shape. Beware of a "genuine WW-II" belt if they want $15 or $20. Then again, a reproduction is great if you're not ready to shell out from $75 to $150.

Michael all time favourite record Elvis Love Me Tender.
Mattock Lane Ealing London.
Michael was sitting on the steps of St John's Church. He had just been to the church where they were handing out food and drinks. Michael is from Ireland and had to leave his country because of the' problems' that he thought might catch up with him. The night before he slept in a park in Acton and the heavens opened and he and all his bedding were drenched completely. He wasn't really moaning he was just telling me part of his story, he did complain that the beans they gave him in the church were cold and how could anyone eat cold beans.
He said that when you are 16 you want to be 18 and when you're 18 you want to be 20 then when you get 'old' you want to be 16 again. It was said in a sad and ironic way but through a smile.

Samson and Delilah....
JUDGES 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her. 2 The people of Gaza were told, “Samson is here!” So they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They made no move during the night, saying, “At dawn we’ll kill him.” 3 But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. 4 Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah. 5 The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.” 6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.” 7 Samson answered her, “If anyone ties me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I’ll become as weak as any other man.” 8 Then the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him with them. 9 With men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” But he snapped the bowstrings as easily as a piece of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. So the secret of his strength was not discovered. 10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have made a fool of me; you lied to me. Come now, tell me how you can be tied.” 11 He said, “If anyone ties me securely with new ropes that have never been used, I’ll become as weak as any other man.” 12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then, with men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” But he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads. 13 Delilah then said to Samson, “All this time you have been making a fool of me and lying to me. Tell me how you can be tied.” He replied, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the fabric on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I’ll become as weak as any other man.” So while he was sleeping, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, wove them into the fabric 14 and tightened it with the pin. Again she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and pulled up the pin and the loom, with the fabric. 15 Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and haven’t told me the secret of your great strength.” 16 With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it. 17 So he told her everything. “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”18 When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, “Come back once more; he has told me everything.” So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands. 19After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him. 20 Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him. 21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison. 22 But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved. 23 Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands.” 24 When the people saw him, they praised their god, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy into our hands, the one who laid waste our land and multiplied our slain.” 25 While they were in high spirits, they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them. When they stood him among the pillars, 26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.”27 Now the temple was crowded with men and women; all the rulers of the Philistines were there, and on the roof were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform. 28 Then Samson prayed to the LORD, “Sovereign LORD, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.”29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, 30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived. 31 Then his brothers and his father’s whole family went down to get him. They brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. He had led Israel twenty years.

In special 'Egypt' promotional livery and now with Thomas Cook Groups 'Sunny Heart' tail logo.
First flown with the Airbus test registration D-AVZH, this aircraft was delivered to Boullioun Aviation Services and leased to MyTravel Airways as G-JOEE in Nov-03.
It was returned to the lessor in Dec-04 and stored at Marana AZ, USA. It was leased to Turkish Airlines as TC-JMG in Mar-05 and returned to the lessor in Apr-09.
The Aircraft was leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK as G-TCDA in May-09. Thomas Cook Airlines UK ceased operations 23-Sep-19 and the aircraft was impounded at London-Gatwick. It was returned to the lessor 5 days later and ferried to Montpelier for storage.
It was leased to Titan Airways as G-POWW in Mar-20. Then the COVID-19 Pandemic struck the world and the aircraft spent most of it's time in storage until it returned to service in Oct-21.
The aircraft was wet-leased to British Airways for three weeks between May/Jun-22. It was wet-leased to TUI Airways UK for three days in mid Jun-22 and again between Aug/Oct-22, then to Jet2,com until early Nov-22.
In Jan-23 it was ferried to Singapore-Seletar for P2F freighter conversion with a main deck cargo door. It was completed in Jul-23. Since then it has operated services for ASL Airlines France and Titan Airways Malta. It was parked at Stansted in Dec-23. Updated 05-Jan-24.
Set off very early this morning to find dragonflies and dewy bokeh at Ham Wall. I was out amongst the reed beds when I discovered a dragonfly roost at first it was 20 then hundreds of four spotted chasers roosting in the reeds.
I met Nick Edge taking photos and when the Chasers took to the air we went bird watching. As we walked away this Dragonfly hitched a ride on Nick.
It was an excellent Birdwatch , Thanks Nick I saw for the first time: Little Grebes, Hobby, Bitterns and Bearded Tits. Plus Kingfishers. Marsh Harrier, Great Egret and more besides.
The ex First Choice Airways A320/321's merged into Thomson Airways remained in full First Choice livery until they were returned to the lessors later in 2011 & 2012.
Oh dear! This one has a very long and confusing history. First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBM, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Air 2000 as G-OOAS in Oct-01.
It was leased to Skyservice Airlines (Canada) as C-GTDG in Dec-02. It returned to Air 2000 in Apr-03, still as C-GTDG and sub-leased from Skyservice for the summer season (a bit like the Sunwing aircraft do with TUI today (May-19)). It was returned to Air 2000 as G-OOAS in Nov-03.
Air 2000 was renamed First Choice Airlines in Feb-04. Now it gets a bit confusing... The aircraft was leased to Skyservice Canada again, as C-GTDG, in Nov-04. It was wet-leased back to First Choice in Apr-05 for summer 2005 before returning to Skyservice in Nov-05 for the winter.
It came back to First Choice in Apr-06 for summer 2006, operated by Skyservice, and stayed with First Choice for the 2006/07 winter and the 2007 summer seasons until it returned to Skyservice in Nov-07.
It was returned to First Choice in Apr-08, now registered G-OOPP. First choice was merged into Thomson Airways in Nov-08 and the aircraft was again leased to Skyservice as C-GTDG a week later. It was wet-leased back to Thomson Airways for the 2009 summer and returned to Canada for the 2009/10 winter.
It was due to return to Thomson Airways at the end of Mar-10 but got stuck in Keflavik, Iceland when the volcano with the unpronounceable name erupted. It was there for 3 weeks before it managed to get back to the UK in Apr-10 and was re-registered G-OOPP. The aircraft was retired by Thomson Airways in Dec-11 and was stored at Manchester UK.
It was returned to the lessor in Mar-12 and leased to Monarch Airlines as G-OZBW a week later. It stayed with Monarch until they ceased operations in Oct-17.
It was returned to the lessor and was initially stored at Shannon, Ireland and moved to Luton, UK in Dec-17 for further storage. It was due to the be leased to Small Planet Airlines Germany as D-ASPJ in Mar-18 but that didn't happen and it was leased to Avion Express as LY-VEB later that month.
It was wet-leased to Condor Flugdienst for 2 months until the end of May-18, and then to SunExpress Airlines (Turkey) for the summer season from Apr/Nov-18. From Nov-18 through to early Apr-19 it variously operated services for Condor Flugdienst, Transavia France, Royal Air Maroc and Condor again.
It was leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK at the end of Apr-19 and was expected to return to Avion Express in early Nov-19. However, Thomas Cook Airlines UK ceased operations on 23-Sep-19 when the Thomas Cook Group ceased trading. The aircraft was returned to Avion Express and immediately wet-leased to Titan Airways (UK) for two weeks to assist in the repatriation of stranded Thomas Cook UK passengers.
It was wet-leased to Tailwind Airlines (Turkey) for three weeks in Oct/Nov-19 before ferrying to Amman, Jordan for six week heavy maintenance. The aircraft was stored at Chateauroux, France in mid Dec-20 and was wet-leased to LOT Polish Airlines at the beginning of Feb-20.
Then the COVID-19 Pandemic happened and LOT returned the aircraft to Avion Express. It operated a few more charters before being stored at Vilnius, Lithuania in Jul-20. It was ferried to Ciudad Real, Spain in Feb-21 for further storage. It was returned to Deucalion Aviation as OE-ITF in Apr-21 and was thought to be permanently retired.
However, the aircraft operated a 15 minute test flight at Ciudad Real on 29-Sep-21 and returned to storage. It was re-registered LY-VEB again in Apr-23 and was ferried to Varna, Bulgaria at the end of May-23.
There was a mention of it being leased to Electra Airways but that didn't happen and as far as I'm aware it hasn't flown since. It's had a hard life and is quite possibly permanently retired. Updated 16-Apr-24.
This weekend I decided to go to one of the villages of Varzaqan city called "Malek Talesh". At first, It was a good road to Varzagan, but after that, it changed in to the dirt road. The dirt road was not bad at first, But gradually, It get worse and worse. suddenly I regretted that what the heck am I doing in here. 😐
We continued our way, but after a while, I realized that, we are between so many mountains. No village, No forest, No human, Nor even any alive creature, except us. Nevertheless, we continued our journey and the road become worse and narrower. we were clearly between the devil and the deep blue sea. 😦😳
when it was a fork in the road, the decision become harder. In addition, we did not have any map or even internet. All in all, we did not have any problems, Because we have had a powerful magical key, that can solve any problems in the world.
After breathing deeply, I began to say the words:
Inky Binky Bonky,
Daddy had a donkey,
Donkey died, daddy cried,
Inky Binky Bonky.
and sometimes I used the other magic words:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
That's how we choose the road and continued our journey. 😂😃
Unfortunately after a while, the dirt road with many small stone changed in to a narrow maze road with so many stones, rocks and shrubs in the road. OMG 😵😱
It was terrible and boring to drive on that kind of the road, but suddenly everything changed to be fun.
All the way, we had a music on, but that time the new music played on, and with that unintentionally shaking that we did on the car, I realized we need some wiggle and jiggle. (NOW OR NEVER)
So suddenly I push the brake pedal and jumped out of the car and began to dance. yoooohaaaaa 🙆😍 It was so fun.
What a pity that none of my friends danced with me. (to bad to be alone😟) Then we went back to our journey.
Finally, after awhile I saw a small little tiny village, pulling us toward himself, with that wild hawthorn fruit that we eat many on the side of the road, we become much enthusiastic to get there.
Yes, finally we reached that village called "Malek Talesh". But at the entrance of the village I saw a graveyard, with many half open graves, then I saw skull bones, Hip bones, chest bones and et cetera. It was almost 2 hours before the sunset that I remembered the ghost town, especially by seeing the open graves and ruined bones with old ruined houses. (Oh where am I? In a morgue!?) 😱😰💀
I park the car in the village and immediately met one of the villager, called Mr Vali. then we met village's teacher Mr Ali. (So kind people). we visit the village about half and hour and took many photos, It was a village with 60 people but I did not saw more than 20. Then we came back at the school and sleep there. But let me tell you about "Nightlife". 🙅💁
However, I know I can't explain it exactly, but after sunset, From 18:00 to 2:00 at midnight, we talked, argued, laughed even more. suddenly I saw thunder lightning, then began to rain lightly. Imagine to have a electric heater corner of the room and drizzling at the time with that pleasing river sound in the darkness, which made nightlife much more enjoyable. (No TV, No radio, No internet, No car's sound, Nor even being worry about anything, and better than the all, not having any phone signal). That was the one thing that made my life a lot happier that week.
For dinner and breakfast we had pasta, Local sheep butter, salty local cheese, fresh yogurt, local new cooked bread and barbary with natural honey (best honey ever I ate). especially drinking village's water witch came out of the mountains. It was entirely pure, natural and local. (I was in Paradise men). 🙏😇😎
We moved the next day. everything went as planned, except thick fog in the noon. so we had to drive so slowly. we could not saw more than one or two meter on that mazy road. 😵😬
For the first time in my life, I had some bodyguards, can you believe that!? (so interesting) Two of them were in the car, and the others were in the motorbikes, in front of me. after escorting us a few kilometers away, it was time to say thank you and goodbye. (Oh I don't want it, cause I don't like it!) Then we went our way back home. 😉

Exodus 15:1–21 (ESV)
The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying,
“I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war;
the LORD is his name.
4 “Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The floods covered them;
they went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power,
your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.
8 At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the floods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;
you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 The peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;
all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,
till your people, O LORD, pass by,
till the people pass by whom you have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,
the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode,
the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD will reign forever and ever.”
19 For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. 21 And Miriam sang to them:
“Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

After his mother’s death in December 1556 he inherited her lands and at about the same time he paid £2,600 for the reversion of 3 Cheshire manors but also parted with one in Sussex.
He was Knighted by Sir Henry Sidney in 1566.
Of the last 20 years of his life, the first ten in Cheshire and the rest were largely in Ireland where he was successively 1st Lord President of Connaught and Thomond and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland from June 1569
He died on July 3, 1579 ‘from the disease of the country’ caught during an expedition into Longford and was buried on September 21 in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin beside his wife Anne as he had requested.
In his will made 5 years before he died, he left Edward his eldest son all his lands and goods on condition that Edward paid off all his father’s debts and gave £400 to each of his unmarried sisters, whom he was to maintain until their marriages. Edward Fitton was also to continue all existing annuities, to give his brother William 20 marks a year more than his annuity while at an inn of court, and to maintain his youngest brother Francis first at a good grammar school and a university until the age of 18 or 20, then at an inn of chancery for two years, and finally at an inn of court for a further seven. If Edward Fitton were to stand by the will he was to be its executor, but if he were to break any part of it , the goods were to be divided among his younger brothers and two thirds of the lands used to maintain his sisters, and to pay off debts.

1) I made a heart charm (see above) because I am a jewelry designer. On the side you can see a rose quartz faceted briolette. Rose quartz is the stone of love. Above it is a cross shaped component. I suppose I am a religeous romantic who loves pink!
PS: that heart is Venetian glass from Murano, with a rose on it.
2) I am addicted to Dolly Molly doll clothes so I used her bow in this design! She sells on Etsy!
3)I have 5 sons and 2 grandsons. Two of my sons are severely autistic and one of them has seizures. The Blythes give me comfort. My children and husband are my WORLD.
4) My husband is the best guy in the whole wide world and makes me laugh EVERY DAY! HE is MY SWEETHEART!
5) I am a lefty but I do all sports and make jewelry right handed...I also play the guitar right handed.
6) I have red hair but I have to dye it now. :) People used to think my sister and I were twins when we were kids. She has red hair too.
7) I was a certified SCUBA diver when I was younger but I think those things lapse if you don't keep them up.
8) I also used to be a bodybuilder and trained with a former Mr. Olympia. I worked at a Nautilus in the eighties when all that stuff was really hip! I wore cut up sweatshirts and everything, just like in the movie "Flashdance"! LOL How embarassing!
9) I have a book out called Links by Jean Yates. It is a jewelry design book.
10) I can interpret your dreams, any and all, and I don't charge. I am extremely good at this.People usually say, "Wow! I don't believe it! You really hit the nail on the head!!!" I think I have this talent partially because I spent my whole childhood reading constantly and this enabled me to understand symbols and how they apply universally to many aspects of unconscious life. Feel free to email me if you have a recurring dream that bothers you or if you are just curious about your dreams.
11) I love music! I am particularly in love with sad ballads and indie alt music.
12) I am a "Twilight" head! :)
13) When I was ten, I used to act and took acting lessons in NYC. My parents would send me in on the train by myself. I trained as an actress until my first marriage at age 20. Then I quit and became a housewife and started a family! My first son was born when I was 26.
14) I think Hefty Zip Loc bags rule (do you think I am getting worn out here?)
15) My childhood Teddy bear's name was Coco. He was dark brown and was a Steiff.
16) I have been a vegetarian since 2005 but I have no reason -- I just AM one!

Scripture - Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Originally ordered for lease to Alitalia as EI-CVK, the lease was cancelled and the aircraft was delivered to Virgin Atlantic Airways as G-VROY in Jun-01. It was sold to GECAS on delivery and leased back to Virgin Atlantic.
Due to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mar-20, Virgin Atlantic made the decision to immediately retire the remaining seven aircraft in the B747-400 fleet. G-VROY was initially parked at London-Heathrow at the end of Mar-20.
Then it was briefly stored at Glasgow, Scotland and Manchester in May-20 before ferrying to Ciudad Real, Spain in late Jun-20 for further storage. The aircraft ferried back to London-Heathrow in mid Nov-20 before moving to Marana, AZ, USA in Dec-20.
It was returned to the lessor and leased to Atlas Air Inc as N482MC in Jan-21. It remained stored at Marana until Jul-21 when it moved to Houston-Intercontinental (presume for cabin reconfig and painting). The aircraft entered service in Dec-21 and currently operates trooping flights for the US Government. Updated 06-Nov-22.
It even came with a tail, originally $28, marked down to $20, then marked down to $14, and on clearance today for $3 at JCP!!!

Just as Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. He can do the same for YOU!
John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again. 8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. 30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

This weekend I decided to go to one of the villages of Varzaqan city called "Malek Talesh". At first, It was a good road to Varzagan, but after that, it changed in to the dirt road. The dirt road was not bad at first, But gradually, It get worse and worse. suddenly I regretted that what the heck am I doing in here. 😐
We continued our way, but after a while, I realized that, we are between so many mountains. No village, No forest, No human, Nor even any alive creature, except us. Nevertheless, we continued our journey and the road become worse and narrower. we were clearly between the devil and the deep blue sea. 😦😳
when it was a fork in the road, the decision become harder. In addition, we did not have any map or even internet. All in all, we did not have any problems, Because we have had a powerful magical key, that can solve any problems in the world.
After breathing deeply, I began to say the words:
Inky Binky Bonky,
Daddy had a donkey,
Donkey died, daddy cried,
Inky Binky Bonky.
and sometimes I used the other magic words:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
That's how we choose the road and continued our journey. 😂😃
Unfortunately after a while, the dirt road with many small stone changed in to a narrow maze road with so many stones, rocks and shrubs in the road. OMG 😵😱
It was terrible and boring to drive on that kind of the road, but suddenly everything changed to be fun.
All the way, we had a music on, but that time the new music played on, and with that unintentionally shaking that we did on the car, I realized we need some wiggle and jiggle. (NOW OR NEVER)
So suddenly I push the brake pedal and jumped out of the car and began to dance. yoooohaaaaa 🙆😍 It was so fun.
What a pity that none of my friends danced with me. (to bad to be alone😟) Then we went back to our journey.
Finally, after awhile I saw a small little tiny village, pulling us toward himself, with that wild hawthorn fruit that we eat many on the side of the road, we become much enthusiastic to get there.
Yes, finally we reached that village called "Malek Talesh". But at the entrance of the village I saw a graveyard, with many half open graves, then I saw skull bones, Hip bones, chest bones and et cetera. It was almost 2 hours before the sunset that I remembered the ghost town, especially by seeing the open graves and ruined bones with old ruined houses. (Oh where am I? In a morgue!?) 😱😰💀
I park the car in the village and immediately met one of the villager, called Mr Vali. then we met village's teacher Mr Ali. (So kind people). we visit the village about half and hour and took many photos, It was a village with 60 people but I did not saw more than 20. Then we came back at the school and sleep there. But let me tell you about "Nightlife". 🙅💁
However, I know I can't explain it exactly, but after sunset, From 18:00 to 2:00 at midnight, we talked, argued, laughed even more. suddenly I saw thunder lightning, then began to rain lightly. Imagine to have a electric heater corner of the room and drizzling at the time with that pleasing river sound in the darkness, which made nightlife much more enjoyable. (No TV, No radio, No internet, No car's sound, Nor even being worry about anything, and better than the all, not having any phone signal). That was the one thing that made my life a lot happier that week.
For dinner and breakfast we had pasta, Local sheep butter, salty local cheese, fresh yogurt, local new cooked bread and barbary with natural honey (best honey ever I ate). especially drinking village's water witch came out of the mountains. It was entirely pure, natural and local. (I was in Paradise men). 🙏😇😎
We moved the next day. everything went as planned, except thick fog in the noon. so we had to drive so slowly. we could not saw more than one or two meter on that mazy road. 😵😬
For the first time in my life, I had some bodyguards, can you believe that!? (so interesting) Two of them were in the car, and the others were in the motorbikes, in front of me. after escorting us a few kilometers away, it was time to say thank you and goodbye. (Oh I don't want it, cause I don't like it!) Then we went our way back home. 😉

Introduction to the Westthorpe Run Round.
This working really did get 'the juices flowing' due to its apparent destination - the old L.D.E.C.R.'s stub of a line at Beighton, the Westthorpe Run Round, which I have seen over the last year or two in various states of dismantlement! There are three shots of it included in the 'Views in Cameras 2019' Video which can be seen here-
the pictures appearing from the 4minute point in the video. It looked fairly clear, looking along the 'Old Road' from the footbridge into the Rother Valley Country Park at Beighton Junction, that the double set of lines over into the old coal Run Round loop, had been disconnected. If there was a chance that this light engine 37, 37612, was going to reverse on the single line in the loop, the exit signal, S1033, back onto the main line still being present, and lit, I ought to make some effort to get a shot and nothing has used this for several years. I have a picture from September 2nd, 2015, showing a Freightliner class 66, 66507, heading south across the River Rother just a bit further up the line, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch1/49548982618/
It then slows for the signal ahead, ready to turn off into the loop, the picture being taken from the Beighton Junction footbridge into Rother Valley Country Parks, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch1/49549481871/
showing, on the left, the train passing Sheffield PSB's S0282 signal with the Amber aspect and 'feather' illuminated, for the turn-out into the loop, which is shown in the right-hand of the two shots. This two coal-wagon working had come along from Hunslet Yard in Leeds, south along the 'Old Road' to take the turn-out here onto the L.D.E.C.R's bit of line where it then ran round the two wagons, hooked up onto the other end and came out again, now crossing over the Midland lines, to take the GCR's line through Beighton Station to Woodhouse Junction Sidings, it can be seen doing this part in another picture taken just after the reversal, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch1/49548982258/
Funny how keeping this stuff available has assisted in describing what could have happened today with the 37. I am not sure this was the last time the Run Round was used and certainly, later, a 'Sidings Nooks and Crannies' type of tour was supposed to go in there and reverse, but it didn't. There may well have been the odd coal train reversal, from N/SE/W to access various power stations, but they were few and far between and with, in the last 2-3 years, the huge down-turn in the use of coal and power stations changing over to more climate-friendly option, coal trains and their reversal, are now a thing of the past...
So, it will be appreciated that _if_ there was any chance this reversal was going to happen, it was worth being in the area for it. Unfortunately, it ultimately did not reverse in the Westthorpe Run Round loop, mainly because, as I soon discovered by looking in detail at some of my long distance shots from the footbridge, it _had_ been disconnected and second, although not diagrammed in the time-table, it _actually_ reversed at Barrow Hill! Evidence of the disconnection can be seen in these, long-distance, shots taken showing A Freightliner, a GBRf and an E.M.R.

Today, Colas Rail operated class 37, 37612, ex-D6879, is seen heading up the Stocksbridge branch line from Woodburn having set off from Doncaster West Yard, just under an hour ago, appearing to rattle along without too much fuss but for the last 30 minutes or so, there is no indication of its movements if it is coming along here as after Rotherham Central, the timings on the the signalling along the Lower Don Valley aren't shown. Word was passed along however that the unit had crossed the Wicker at the old Sheffield Victoria site and, on time, here it is with the light very challenging as these shots look due south. 37612 is on the 0Z66, Doncaster West Yard to Westthorpe Run Round and it was actually time-tabled to come up here 4 times, now, 10:20, then back at 11:28, following a reversal in Sheffield, back again at 14:55 and finally, at 16:20, in the event, it only did this one, Phew !!
Room-service breakfast at the Sheraton Gateway in Atlanta.
My flight from Gulfport was delayed by mechanical difficulties, so I missed my connection in Atlanta. Delta paid for my room and gave me vouchers for dinner and breakfast.
Believe me, at Sheraton prices a $7 meal voucher doesn't go far. For dinner I had chicken noodle soup. The room service breakfast was good, but was it worth $27.00? With the voucher it dropped to $20. Then I added $4 for the server who delivered it. Was that a mistake? They had already added a $2.50 delivery charge and a 20% service charge. So obviously, I should not have added any gratuity at all.
Much fancier than a free motel breakfast.
Lighting. This was shot with light from an overhead desk lamp. I also shot an 18% gray card to check the color balance.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
(John 11:17-27)
JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION, ANYONE THAT BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER DIE!

This weekend I decided to go to one of the villages of Varzaqan city called "Malek Talesh". At first, It was a good road to Varzagan, but after that, it changed in to the dirt road. The dirt road was not bad at first, But gradually, It get worse and worse. suddenly I regretted that what the heck am I doing in here. 😐
We continued our way, but after a while, I realized that, we are between so many mountains. No village, No forest, No human, Nor even any alive creature, except us. Nevertheless, we continued our journey and the road become worse and narrower. we were clearly between the devil and the deep blue sea. 😦😳
when it was a fork in the road, the decision become harder. In addition, we did not have any map or even internet. All in all, we did not have any problems, Because we have had a powerful magical key, that can solve any problems in the world.
After breathing deeply, I began to say the words:
Inky Binky Bonky,
Daddy had a donkey,
Donkey died, daddy cried,
Inky Binky Bonky.
and sometimes I used the other magic words:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
That's how we choose the road and continued our journey. 😂😃
Unfortunately after a while, the dirt road with many small stone changed in to a narrow maze road with so many stones, rocks and shrubs in the road. OMG 😵😱
It was terrible and boring to drive on that kind of the road, but suddenly everything changed to be fun.
All the way, we had a music on, but that time the new music played on, and with that unintentionally shaking that we did on the car, I realized we need some wiggle and jiggle. (NOW OR NEVER)
So suddenly I push the brake pedal and jumped out of the car and began to dance. yoooohaaaaa 🙆😍 It was so fun.
What a pity that none of my friends danced with me. (to bad to be alone😟) Then we went back to our journey.
Finally, after awhile I saw a small little tiny village, pulling us toward himself, with that wild hawthorn fruit that we eat many on the side of the road, we become much enthusiastic to get there.
Yes, finally we reached that village called "Malek Talesh". But at the entrance of the village I saw a graveyard, with many half open graves, then I saw skull bones, Hip bones, chest bones and et cetera. It was almost 2 hours before the sunset that I remembered the ghost town, especially by seeing the open graves and ruined bones with old ruined houses. (Oh where am I? In a morgue!?) 😱😰💀
I park the car in the village and immediately met one of the villager, called Mr Vali. then we met village's teacher Mr Ali. (So kind people). we visit the village about half and hour and took many photos, It was a village with 60 people but I did not saw more than 20. Then we came back at the school and sleep there. But let me tell you about "Nightlife". 🙅💁
However, I know I can't explain it exactly, but after sunset, From 18:00 to 2:00 at midnight, we talked, argued, laughed even more. suddenly I saw thunder lightning, then began to rain lightly. Imagine to have a electric heater corner of the room and drizzling at the time with that pleasing river sound in the darkness, which made nightlife much more enjoyable. (No TV, No radio, No internet, No car's sound, Nor even being worry about anything, and better than the all, not having any phone signal). That was the one thing that made my life a lot happier that week.
For dinner and breakfast we had pasta, Local sheep butter, salty local cheese, fresh yogurt, local new cooked bread and barbary with natural honey (best honey ever I ate). especially drinking village's water witch came out of the mountains. It was entirely pure, natural and local. (I was in Paradise men). 🙏😇😎
We moved the next day. everything went as planned, except thick fog in the noon. so we had to drive so slowly. we could not saw more than one or two meter on that mazy road. 😵😬
For the first time in my life, I had some bodyguards, can you believe that!? (so interesting) Two of them were in the car, and the others were in the motorbikes, in front of me. after escorting us a few kilometers away, it was time to say thank you and goodbye. (Oh I don't want it, cause I don't like it!) Then we went our way back home. 😉
