We had a beautiful walk around Derwent Water today. We'd planned to walk right round the lake if possible, but knew it would probably be pretty flooded at the far end - it was, so we took a detour off up to Ashness Bridge instead, and ate lunch at a high viewpoint there - then doubled back on ourselves. We had loads of rain and hail, but a few breaks in the weather, too - and we were well prepared for all the sogginess. It was still incredibly beautiful, regardless of the weather.
I had a bath this afternoon and Tim popped out to get a few bits of shopping - then he cooked us meatballs and pasta for dinner. Delicious! We are both absolutely knackered, but in a good way, and now settling down to watch the new X-Files. So relaxed! :)
BS: "C'mon Arnold, just look at the options you got, what we can offer you."
Wskr: "Uhm, I'm sorry mr Needham, but ,ehm, we have to-"
SF: "Ohw, shut up ya dummy! Lemme handle this. Listen pal, we're not interested in what Sionis has to offer. Our buisniss is good enough."
BS: "Black Mask will pay you deeply for your weapons and the use of your men."
SF: "Ya already pay us for our weapons, so does Penguin, now please get out of the factory Spider! You're gonna draw unwanted attention!"
BS: "That attention is already here."
SF: "What the hell do ya mean you bozo? Our security is the best!"
BS: "I've spotted Nightwing, Huntress and Azrael about 10 minutes ago, in this factory."
SF: "Impossible!"
BS: "On the contrary. I presume this could change our deal?"
SF: "How do you mean?"
BS: "Now the location of your factory is compromised, we could give you protection against these costumed freaks. I prpose, that if I'm able to take these intruders down, you join Black Mask in the war against Penguin, if not, what seems unlikely, we'll respect your dicission and leave you alone."
Wskr: "I honestly think we should take this deal, mr Scarface. They could really give us protection, and if we let them use our men, we can win this easily, and Gotham shall be ours."
SF: "Grrr, alright Spider, show us what you got."
BS: "With pleasure."
Azrl: "I'dd like to see that!!"
BS: "AARGH!"
Azrl: "Now Nightwing! I got Spider, you take Wesker and his thugs!"
SF: "Wesker's thugs?! Ya mean my freakin' thugs! Wesker is nothing! I do everything around this place! Now ya dummy, shoot him!"
When Wesker wants to shoot Michael, I throw a batarang and come sliding down. I hit the thug next to Wesker and I hit Wesker in the shoulder with makes him miss.
Wskr: "Awh!"
SF: "C'mon ya pussy! Pick that gun back up and shoot that birdbrain!"
Wskr: "O- of course mister Scarface."
He picks up the gun again and aims at me, while I take down the rest of the thugs one by one. This is gonna be interesting.
Black Spider gets up and jumps to attack Azrael. Azrael counter attacks though and Spider lies on the ground again.
Azrl: "Got enough already?"
BS: "Not even close."
Spider throws several knives at Azrael, but they don't do any harm to him, 'cause of his armor. The Suit of Sorrows I believe it's called. It was one pain in the ass when Bruce and I first fought Michael. I didn't have any experience yet with the Suit of Sorrows, but Bruce had. When he fought the first Azrael, several years before I became Robin. That Azrael was Jean-Paul Valley. He was brainwashed by the order of Saint Dumas, to become their greatest champion. They began 'creating' Azrael, as a replacement for Batman, when he might perish. Valley though became so obsessed with Batman that he tried to kill him, so he could become the Dark Knight.
Azrl: "Nightwing, focus!"
One thug comes running towards me with a baton.
NW: "Woah!"
I dodge him and I kick him in the stumach.
NW: "Thanks!"
Azrl: "Don't mention it!"
Yeah, Michael is nothing like Jean-Paul.

Reprocessed and replaced in September 2024.
Paneling on the middle section is now mostly complete, though am short a few CMF stands. Still need to do some detailing, as well as some interior, but the outer shell is pretty much complete. On to the rear section!

WPA 39 — Do you know what this means? It means this sidewalk was put into place in 1939 by people working under the Works Progress Administration. The WPA created a lot of infrastructure, much of it still in use today. This slab of sidewalk was built, like many other WPA projects, by formerly jobless Americans. The next time someone says the government can’t create jobs… you might want to point out that the sidewalk they are standing on may have been one that was built by at WPA project that lifted people out of poverty during the Great Depression.

I was playing a dep gig for the Jake leg Jug Band in Swindon - Duncan, the main man behind the group is also a Port Vale fan so we though it'd be good to take in the Swindon vs Port Vale game which coincidentally was taking place on the same day. Then Sky Sports re-arranged it to a 12.30 kick off, which meant an early start and a five hour wait between the end of the game and setting up for the gig. The game was an entertaining 3-3 draw and the gig went well - in between, we hung out in a restaurant for ages...

German Feldwebel (Sergeant) Panzer Crewman passing an 8,8cm Panzergranate 39 through the escape hatch of a Tiger. (Eastern Front, date unknown)
The 'Panzergranate 39' was one of the most common German armor-piercing rounds of World War 2. The round is an "APCBC-HE-T" (Armor-Piercing-Capped Ballistic-Cap, High Explosive, Tracer) design meaning it had a ballistic-cap tip to improve aerodynamics, hardened-steel projectile with a soft iron cap to help with sloped armour penetration, a small explosive charge and a tracer fuse in the base. The round had a muzzle velocity of 780 metres per second and was capable of penetrating up to 110mm of armour at 1000 metres. "FES" rounds were introduced from 1943 on wards, these rounds had the 'driving bands' made of "Feuereisensinter" (FES) or 'sintered iron' instead of copper due to resource shortages. The driving bands provide the tight seal of the projectile within the barrel rifling, switching to steel bands increased the wear of the gun barrels and required barrels to be changed more often.

Les dejare una cancion, para que la bajen y las escuchen y lean la letra que se las pondre a continuacion, puede ser que ya la hayan escuchado, es antigua, pero es muy buena....
...♫ Marta tiene 23 años y está estudiando
Y a su corta edad tiene apartamento en Condado
Ella no sale con hombres, ni acepta regalos
Y todo por la culpa del maldito Carlos
Marta viene arrastrando la desilución
De que el hombre que amo, la dejó y se marchó…
El mismo día de su boda
Nilda tiene la misma edad y es un poco más loca
Le gusta usar pelo corto, y ropa de hombre a la moda
Nilda viene arrastrando la desilución
De que papá la tocó donde no se debía…
Y marcó su vida
Y así viven dos mujeres gritandole al cielo
Y diciendo su amor será eterno…
Aunque la sociedad margine
Un amor de muñecas de porcelana
Dos mujeres que son una
Son una en dos.
Son cuatro senos que se aman en la misma cama
Un amor que es prohibido, pero en fin es amor
Y caminan de mano a la universidad
¿Qué dira papá si se llega a enterar?
De que su doncella ya no quiere más
Volverse a enamorar de ningún patán
Y que ahora solo se quiere besar
Con su amiga, con quién jugo a las muñecas
Con quién jugo a las muñecas
¿Y qué dira mamá si nunca la escuchó?
Es más fuerte el dolor, cuando papá lo hizó
No hay quién halle pecado en esta relación
Pues el sufrimiento ya las redimió
No hay sonrisa visible en tanta oscuridad
No se puede hablar de amor sin tener felicidad
No hay razón alguna para maltratar
A quién te dio su amor, sin poner medidas
Dos amigas…
Que juegan a las muñecas
Que juegan a las muñecas
Que juegan a las muñecas ♫...
Muñecas de Porcelana - Don Omar
Almost 39 weeks now.
We went to our first ante-natal class about a month ago and never came back.. I was okay with it but Niki was appalled by the matter of fact approach and how we were constantly reminded of pain and tearing and all the things that can go wrong… We felt if things do go wrong, we will trust ourselves to doctors who are there to give us the best treatment. We certainly do not want to be shocked into it.
So, we took up an alternative approach called Calmbirth. In the US, I believe it is called Hypnobirth. I came into the class expecting Niki to be hypnotised into a pain-free birth. However, the classes were very educational in explaining how the body behaves through labour and how the mother can calmly do controlled breathing to managed the discomfort (note: the word pain should never be used, when you are asked how painful, you will focus on the pain..).
Well, we’ll see how this approach goes soon I guess. For Niki, this is a more acceptable approach to labour and I believe a more encouraging one.
As for me:
I have been in hibernation for a little while now and obviously have not done much photography. The last several months of change - moving cities, changing jobs and preparing our household for a new member.. preparing to be a family for the first time.. Well, I hope you can understand photography is slipping to the side for a bit. I hope to rectify that now we've settled down in our little town on the border of Melbourne - this is quite a beautiful place and there are so many opportunity for beautiful photography here. Plus.. there's going to be plenty of baby photos coming up.. Still, I may squeeze in the odd artistic nude photography when I get the time to.
"En cada hogar debiera haber un termómetro clínico. La temperatura es el resultado del equilibrio entre el calor producido y el perdido por el organismo.
Sabemos que el calor se produce por la combustión de los alimentos en las células de nuestro cuerpo, y la mayor temperatura no es en sí una enfermedad, sino un síntoma de que algo no marcha bien. Es en otras palabras un aliado del hombre, pues por su medio se defiende el organismo.
Antes de usar el termómetro, debemos tomar del extremo opuesto a la ampolla de mercurio y agitarlo con violencia (mucha violencia) hasta que la columna del mercurio haya descendido a 34 o 35 grados C.
En la práctica común se toma siempre en la axila:
1- Con una toalla o algodón absorbente secamos la transpiración de la axila.
2- Se coloca la ampolla de mercurio en el centro de la axila, se indica al enfermo que baje el brazo contra el cuerpo, de modo que no quede espacio abierto que refrigere el mercurio. Cuídese que la ampolla de mercurio no esté en contacto con la ropa.
3-Después de 5 a 6 minutos, se retira el termómetro tomándolo por el extremo sin mercurio, y se lee la temperatura, tarea que con un poco de práctica, pronto se aprende".

Felt a bit washed up yesterday. This seemed a fitting image for today. When I finally got home yesterday I started to charge one of my batteries for a couple of hours but it didn't want to hold the charge and so I started to charge my second battery.. It was done late last night.. too late to take my 365. Down to one battery and hopefully it lasts for a while!
So what are the rules for missing a day??

I don't actually know what week I should be up to with DDW, but hopefully this is about right!
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you.
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you.
But suddenly now, I know where I belong.
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long.
I can't wait.
