Week 41 'Hats'
Morris Men performing at the annual Apple Fair in a local village.
Morris Dancing is a traditional form of English folk-dance accompanied by a group of musicians, and in days gone by most villages would have had their own 'team' each sporting a different colour variation of a fairly traditional outfit, embellished with bells and flowers. They also use sticks, coloured handkerchiefs and even swords in their neatly choreographed performances.
It's a traditionally male occupation, but these days there are many ladies in the teams too.

Got my new lens in the mail yesterday after both my lenses ended up being broken from the airlines. So once again I'm behind on this project. But whatever. At least I'm still chugging along... crawling along?
Also this shot was the first time using lights outside and mastering the smoke bomb! However... I did end up burning holes in my dress...

The recent Pirate Snubfighter didn't turn out to have any connection to the R-41 Starchaser, as had been hoped, but it did motivate me to finish off my own version of that ship, seen here as it appears in Mysteries of the Sith.

DR (ex-DRG) Class "41" "Rekolok" 2-8-2 No.41 1144 (ex-41 144), with 2'2'T34 tender at the Meingen Steam Festival, 09/12. The DRG/DRB built 366 Class 41's for express freight traffic 1937-41 with boilers using the new, advanced, high tensile, St47K-Mo steel enabling the high boiler pressure of 284 p.s.i. to be used. However, the steel proved very prone to metal fatigue and extensive cracking resulted. As a result, the pressure was reduced to 255 p.s.i. in 1941 as a temporay expedient during the war. After World War II, 216 were in West Germany (DB), 122 in the East (DR), 26 in Poland (PKP Class Ot-1), 1 in Czechoslavakia (CSD) and 1 had been destroyed. After temporary repairs in the early 1950's, the DB completely rebuilt 107 in 1957-61 with all welded boilers with combustion chambers, wide chimnies, and a platform replacing the front fall plate. In 1968-70 40 were converted to burn oil and reclassified "042", the remaining coal burmers being Class "041". The last "042" was withdrawn at Rheine in 1977. On the DR, 10 of their "41's" were in such bad condition that they were withdrawn immediately, whilst 33 were fitted with a "1943 Type" boiler of conventional steel and were safe. The 79 others had extensive welding repairs on their St47K boilers but this made them even more prone to cracking so many were temporarily withdrawn. Then in 1958, 03 1046's St47K's boiler exploded so an urgent reboilering programme was instituted. 102 were to be fitted with a new, high performance "39E Reko" all-welded boiler with combustion chamber, IfS feed water heater,Troffimoff piston valves, Stuhren ash pans and new welded front cabs. They proved excellent steamers (the boiler generating 15 tons of steam an hour compared to 13.3 tons an hour for the DB's contemporary all-welded boiler of similar size on their Class "41's"). So exceptional was the performance of the DR Class "41" Rekoloks, that they were frequently used on express and semi-fast passenger as well as fast freight. The last DR loco was withdrawn in 1988.

Ah yes, we've reached the point in training where my camera did not leave the house. Nor did I, unless it was to run or go to work. This photo was taken after another wretched long run, the last of my 18-milers. This time the IT band started throbbing at mile 8, and I knew I was screwed. Hobble hobble run run hobble run hobble. Cry, worry, tears. Hobble run hobble.
Earlier that week I had started physical therapy, which is fun because you get to do awful things like 30 lunges and 30 wall squats and 30 hip strengtheners. Then you get to go to sports massage so they can put bruises all over your legs. That's fun because you can tell people someone threw you down the stairs because that is exactly what you look like.
And this is why we love running!
