This girl had flat straight hair. But as she passed by me (I was already about to take her shot anyway) a hard blow of wind messed up her umbrella and almost flipped it upside down. And it lifted flocks of her hair forward and up, like a punk hairdo!
:-)
I think I love umbrella shots so much that I have developed a natural magnet for great picture opportunities with them involved. Lucky me!

Welcome to Tuesday.
You are welcome to it.
And something exciting happening later, but for now, there is the usual, get up, get dressed, drink coffee and be ready for work at seven.
Jools wasn't going swimming, so she had a shower then got dressed before heading off just before seven.
When we looked out the back of the house, the sky was black with cloud, except for a small band of clear sky just above the trees on the other side of the valley, and in that gap was the blood red sliver of the waning moon.
And was then gone.
And so with Cleo watching on, I set up the office.
I learn that Denmark at two inches of snow and is still very cold. We actually are due to have sunshine, though ten degrees cooler than a week before.
Now the interesting bit.
At the end of the Deal Road into Dover, is the Duke of York's roundabout with the Duke of York's pub behind it. Why'd they have that name?
Well, behind both is the Duke of York's Military School, a huge site stretching from here to Fort Bergoyne, then to Guston. The school was founded here in 1909 and was a place where the children of military personnel were taught while their parents were posted, probably overseas.
It is still 100% for boarders, but no longer under the control of the MOD, but has a strong military ethic. I'm not going to judge.
Anyway.
The project to photograph Kent churches is mainly for parish church, but if I can get to see otheres: RC, Baptist or whatever, I'll take it.
Last September, for the first time, The Duke of Yorks Military School took part in Heritage Weekend. Sadly, I found out too late to get on a tour, but I struck up e mail correspondence with the organiser and he agreed that I could come and take shots.
Clashes of dates meant that I had to wait two months, but today was the day, and weather full of low winter sunshine. Although shadows inside were very striking.
The school was built here when it moved from Chelsea in 1909, designed by Sir Henry Tanner in the "Hampstead Garden Suburb" style. The entire complex is pretty much of all the same date and style, with the exception of two newer academic buildings.
Focal point is the large clock tower, which has just been renovated.
The chapel has several war memorials dedicated to pupils who gave their lives for their country.
I was met at reception after driving round the ring road past the athletics track and several of the boarding houses. I was met by the guy I had been writing to, he guessed I was Ian as I was laden with camera gear.
The chapel was on the other side of the road, and is a fine example of early 20th century design, the rest of the school is all of a similar style too.
He lets me get on with my task of taking shots, while he tells me some of the history of the school and chapel.
It is very well maintained, with a fairly new rood, but the rest is original and very well kept.
I took a 100 shots or so, said thanks and was gone, all in under an hour.
I went to Tesco to buy unch and came away with: a turkey and stuffing sandwich, a spicy bean wrap and a pack of spicy paprika crisps. Don't shop when you're hungry, kids.
Back home for lunch and back to work, where not much had happened.
On the tellybox at the same time as working, Saudi beat Argentina 2-1 after being a goal down.
Football, eh?
And then two dull 0-0 draws, so once work was done, I decided to go out for a walk.
Not far, just up and down the four streets in the estate, nearly 6,000 steps.
Feeing better.
We had warmed through stuffed peppers again for dinner, and were again totes amazeballs.
As was the wine.
And there was time for one more game to watch as music played on the cat's whiskers.
Phew.

In 1801, His Royal Highness Frederick Duke of York laid the foundation stone in Chelsea of what was to become The Duke of York's Royal Military School, a school for the children of military personnel which opened in 1803. Then in 1909, the school relocated to its present site in Dover, Kent and in 2010, we became the first full state boarding academy, opening our doors to any family wishing to choose this unique and iconic school for their child’s secondary education.

Early on, this is probably what you and your home gym look like.
For the "gym", you've got some sort of piecemeal mat on the floor but since they're kind of expensive, it's unlikely you bought enough to cover your entire floor. (so you duct-taped it down so it wouldn't slide) For weights, you found the old lumps of iron you bought years ago when you were "in shape". They've developed some rust around the edges, but surely their still good right? And finally to watch the P90x DVDs, you've setup a computer and monitor with some old speakers...and all of this is in the basement. Why? Because you don't want to be visible to old nosy Mrs. Badcrumble across the street who is always looking in living room windows! Oh sure, at the end of the program you'll be looking to show off, but here at the start you need your solitude.
For yourself, you've pieced together the basics of a workout kit. You've got the athletic shorts from college, a roughed-up but still serviceable pair of sneakers and a white undershirt. Finally, you've got your actual glass of water.
And all of this is perfectly fine to start. The reason I've included this image is because as you go through the program, you'll find yourself making "upgrades" to all of these elements.
Politics In The Park March 5th 2022
While I was tending to my garden in what was a beautiful sunny day, I heard a thunderous roar coming from the top of well st in the paisley west end. But it wasn’t till I heard it a second time did I decided to investigate the ruckus where at the top of Well st the police where stopping traffic from heading up the hill while forcing cars to turn back down. One female or should I say non binary person, no fuck that! it was a woman officer who said a parade was on its way. I had no clue what it was so turned back to grab my camera then back to see along Broomland street an “All Under One Banner” march heading for the town centre in what was a walk round town and back to Ferguslie Park Gardens. The march came up the west end, down lady lane, up George street, up Causeyside and back through the towns high street stopping once or twice for the other marchers to catch up. One officer said around 1000 turned out and later a steward said 4000 while another steward also later said 1000. Though Margaret from well streets fruit shop who witnessed it all including all the motor bikes I only heard said. It was around 4000 easy.
The March along with its speakers ended up in the park behind were the old coats house once stood before being gifted to the people of paisley looking over Ferguslie Park and where I shot the speakers from all angles while others stood fixed in one spot with their cameras and phones. As I always say, I shoot everything and everyone to show the scale of the event while placing those who came along to watching in what was a political event to condemn poverty, Russia and all things politics to this point in history.
I`m glad to say there was a wide political view point, to which some I totally disagreed with, yet others I vocally “yelled allowed” to show total agreement with. Though I was disappointed they kept referring to Russia while ignoring the human rights violating China whose bio weapon Covid-19 has killed over 5.9 million poor souls around the world. Plus many of the speakers where part of the SNP whom many of you will know I`ve long lost faith in and I’m one of the 45 who voted yes. Plus the speakers never pointed out while 9000+ Scots who were killed by Covid still haven’t been compensated or we all the people who lost two years of our lives, our liberties, common law rights, lost love and work opportunities while scared into taking an experimental untested dangerous gen therapy drug or you can’t go anywhere. Again we have not been compensated for these violations of our human rights. Plus what about those who caught Covid and damaged by the so called vaccine, they haven’t been compensated. This while condemning Russian they have long ignored communist China with the worst human rights violations in the world and end even now have taken control of THE THIRDS of “Scotland oil production” where they drill 200.000 barrows a day….. NOW THAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF SCOTLAND.
So before condemning the world we should all look at why your leaders are not sueing China to compensate all Scot to which I say. Those of you who lost loved ones you get £10m. If you caught coved you get £1m. All of us who lost our freedoms, liberty and life opportunities including the chance to meet and fall in love, for this over two years of lock down we get £200.000. Plus those and many folks have been damaged and even died from taking this experimental drug just like Covid has created long term health problems for people…. So you get £5m…… You know what! I sound like a skin flint and those numbers could, if not should be higher….
The world is a scary place when leaders consistently change the battle field and draw your attention from one horror to the next while leaving we the people to suffer for their many mistakes and if Chine who control a massive amount of the worlds debt, then lets sue those bastards and it will be them in debt and we who’ll be better off and out of debt…. China fucking owes us big time, but sadly your leaders “NOT MINE” are suspiciously quiet…. Russia is a diversion folks and created by the new world order in their zest to bring forth the great rest where we will all own nothing and be happy to which those who gave you covid are now giving you war…

Are you going to go to Rodmersham? The warden at Milstead asked me.
I had not heard of it, but then that's not surprising, as I seem to be fining new parish churches all the time, indeed I have since discovered I have also missed the mother church of the benefice, Tunstall.
Anyway.
I had seen a signpost pointing the way to Rodmersham on the road back east towards home, so it seemed easy enough. Though the signs were intermittent, but after a ten minute drive, I arrived at St Nicholas, situated on the side of the lane, with a couple of houses opposite.
It felt like it would be locked, but I went to check, and found the porch and door unlocked. I went to collect my cameras and get busy.

A good example of a village church surrounded by orchards in this least spoilt part of north Kent. The building consists of an exceptionally tall and proud west tower, nave and chancel with south aisle and chapel. In the north wall of the nave are excellent examples of doors to the rood loft, the top of each doorway having nicely shouldered arches. The most interesting parts of the church are the chancel and chapel. The former contains an excellent altar by Buckeridge and Hoyce (1888) and an east window of German glass by Bayer of Munich, dated 1881. On the south side is the excellent fifteenth-century wooden sedilia of three canopied seats - almost unique in England. It backs on to a contemporary parclose screen that divides the chancel from south chapel which contains two panels of blind Norman arcading and a good east window by Ward and Hughes. In the south aisle is a blocked low side window that probably served a side altar.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RODMERSHAM.
NORTH-EASTWARD from Kingsdown lies Rodmersham. It lies at a mile southward from Bapchild-street and the high Dover road, on high ground, the church being plainly seen from it. It contains about 1050 acres of land, of which not more than seventy-five are wood. The village, which is built straggling along the road, having the church in it, has at the lower or northern part of it two or three pretty modern houses; at the opposite end of it is New house, which has been for some years tenanted by the Taylors; at the south-east corner of the parish is the hamlet of Upper Rodmersham, and on the western side that of Rodmersham-green, which joins to a long tract of woodland, called Minchin wood. The land in the lower or northern part of this parish is rich and fertile for corn, and is let at a high rent, but higher up among the hills it becomes chalky and light, and much of it very poor. It is not an unpleasant situation, and considering its nearness to a very unwholesome country, is not so unhealthy as might be expected.
THE PARAMOUNT MANOR of Milton claims over it, subordinate to which is
THE MANOR OF RODMERSHAM, which was antiently the inheritance of the family of De la Pine, whose seat of residence was at Easthall, in the neighbouring parish of Murston.
John de la Pine was possessed of it in the 20th year of the reign of king Henry III. as appears by private evidences, whose grandson James de la Pine, about the latter end of king Richard II.'s reign, sold it to John de Podach, descended originally from John de Podach, who held lands of his own name in Devonshire in the reign of king Henry III. as appeared by an antient pedigree of this family. His descendants, possessors of this manor, from being usually called Pordage, at length wrote their names so. The antient arms of which family were, Argent, a fess chequy, or, and gules, in chief, three cross-croslets, sable; but this John Pordage altered the fess to plain sable, in which form his descendants have borne it ever since.
His descendant Sir William Pordage, as well as his ancestors, resided at Rodmersham, where he rebuilt the manor-house in the reign of king James I. naming it New-house, at whose request in 1615, the pedigree of Pordage was drawn up from old evidences, by John Philipott, Somerset herald, by which it appears that he bore for his arms six coats, Pordage, Crowland, Gourly, Belton, Gisors, and Barrow; all which, except the first and last, were borne in right of the heir of Crowland, and in one of the windows of Faversham church were painted the arms of Pordage, impaling Crowland. (fn. 1) He died s. p. and was succeeded by his brother and heir Thomas Pordage, esq. who resided here. His grandson William Pordage, or Porridge, as the name was then usually called, about the beginning of queen Anne's reign alienated it, with the seat, and all the rest of his estates in this parish and neighbourhood, to Stephen Lushington, esq. of Sittingborne, whose father Mr. Thomas Lushington, had been in the possession of them under a mortgage term for some years before. He was the son of Mr. Augustine Lushington, gent. of Sittingborne, who bore for his arms, Argent, a fess engrailed, gules, between three lions heads erased, or. Of whose family was Thomas Lushington, a noted scholar of his time, born at Sandwich in 1589, and afterwards educated at Oxford, and preferred to a prebend of Salisbury, &c. He wrote several books, a list of which the reader will find in Wood's Ath. Oxon. At length retiring in his latter days to his relations at Sittingborne, he died there in 1661, and was buried in the south chancel of that church, having had a handsome monument, with his bust on it, set up to his memory, by his kinsman, Thomas Lushington, esq. of Sittingborne, whom he by will made heir to all he had.
Mr. Stephen Lushington was twice married, and left issue by both his wives, by his second he had several children, the eldest surviving son of whom was Henry, vicar of East Bourne, in Sussex, and D. D. who left several children, of whom Henry, was massacred in the East Indies, and Stephen was a proctor of Doctors Commons.
Thomas Godfrey Lushington, esq. of Sittingborne, the only son of Stephen, by his first wife, succeeded him in this estate, and afterwards resided at Canterbury, where he died in 1757, and was buried at Sittingborne, having had by his first wife Dorothy, daughter of John Gisborne, esq. of Derbyshire, three sons, Thomas, who died before him unmarried; William, a captain in the army, who died unmarried in 1763; and James-Stephen, now in holy-orders; and likewise two daughters, Dorothy, who died unmarried, and Catherine, married to John Cockin Sole, esq. At his death he gave this manor, with the seat of New-house, and the rest of his possessions in this parish, to his second surviving son, the Rev. JamesStephen Lushington, of Bottisham, near Cambridge, who is the present possessor of them.
The Rev. Mr. Lushington is a prebendary of Carlisle, and has been twice married; first to Mary, one of the daughters of Edmund Law, lord bishop of Carlisle, who died in 1768, having had by her two sons and one daughter; and secondly to Mary, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Christian, of Norfolk; by whom he has three sons and two daughters.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly relieved are about twenty, casually fifteen.
RODMERSHAM is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sittingborne.
¶The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas. consists of three isles and two chancels; the southern chancel belongs to the family of Lushington, as lords of the manor, in it are several memorials for the family of Pordage. In the high chancel are four seats, with a kind of wooden canopy over them; perhaps made use of for the knights of St. John, when they visited their estate here. At the west end is a handsome tower steeple, built of squared slint, very neat, and of much superior masonry to the rest of the church. There are four bells in it. In the east window of the high chancel are these arms remaining. A cross, between four mullets; there was likewise, anno 1719, a scrole remaining in the windows of William Somptere and John Cheynestere, who had been good benesactors to this church. In the south chancel is a brass plate for William Pery, 1482.
A person unknown gave one acre of woodland to beautify the church, now of the annual produce of twelve shillings.
King Henry II. gave the church of Rodmersham to the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, which was confirmed by king John in his 1st year.
About which time an agreement was entered into between Alanus, prior of the hospital, and the chapter of it, and the abbot and convent of St. Augustine's, near Canterbury, that when their chapel of Rodmersham should be dedicated, and the cemetery consecrated, they granted to the abbot and the convent, that they would diminish none of the rights of the mother church of Milton, one of which was, the burial of housekeepers, male and female, (fn. 2) of Rodmersham, at Milton, which should never be withdrawn by them, and that neither in that, nor in any thing else, they should sustain any injury, &c. (fn. 3)
After which, this church was appropriated by the prior and chapter of the hospital, to their preceptory established in the parish of West Peckham; in which state it continued till the general dissolution of the hospital, in the 32d year of king Henry VIII. when this order of knights being suppressed, by an act specially passed for the purpose, their hospital, with all its lands and revenues, was given by it to the king. After which the fee of the rectory of Rodmersham, with the advowson of the vicarage, seems to have remained in the crown, till the king, in the 36th year of his reign, granted it, with its appurtenances, to John Pordage, esq. of this parish, to hold in capite by knight's service. Since which they have continued with the manor down to the Rev. James-Stephen Lushington, the present owner of them.
In 1640 the vicarage was valued at thirty pounds per annum. Communicants one hundred.
It is a discharged living in the king's books, of the clear yearly certified value of thirty pounds, the tenths of it being 16s. 8d.

Unbelievable but true: A Tuk-Tuk-Line is part of the Zurich Transport Network!
Due to track construction, a part of the tram line 13 is out of order from July 2012 to August 2012. In this time Electro-Tuk-Tuks are connecting the Meierhofplatz with the Winzerstrasse stop in Zurich Höngg.
Unglaublich aber wahr: Wegen einer Gleisbaustelle ist ein Teil der Tramlinie 13 in den Monaten Juli und August 2012 ausser Betrieb. Während dieser Zeit verkehrt zwischen den Haltestellen Meierhofplatz und Winzerstrasse ein Ersatzbetrieb mit Elektro-Tuk-Tuks. Eine wirklich aussergewöhnliche Lösung des Zürcher Verkehrsverbundes!

That there are several places in Kent with shared names is a surprise, but that two of these should share the name Paddlesworth somwhat more so.
Paddlesworth near Hawkinge is a fine rustic church, in what was once the poorest parish in the county, but Paddlesworth near Snodland is rustic on an altogether different scale.
It was a short drive from Birling, but I did not see the simple two cell church until I was nearly at it. Paddlesworth, or this part of it consists of a large farm, some older farm buildings, Grade II listed, and a private house. And the chapel.
It has also been a barn over the centuries, and so its survival is remarkable, and a reminder as to what the Norman Two Cell churches might have looked like in antiquity.
In side, some simple pews and a screen which has been converted into a gallery, a simple altar and plain windows with a few panes of red glass at the bottom.
-------------------------------------------
Another typical Kent two-cell church built of flint rubble. Of mid-Norman date it served a manor house and adjoining agricultural settlement which declined in the mid-seventeenth century when the lord of the manor moved elsewhere. Some windows were replaced in the thirteenth century when the present chancel arch with its funny-face headstops was constructed. The aumbry in the south wall of the nave is formed of chalk blocks which are visible outside, showing the relative thin-ness of the Norman walls. At the back of the church is a fine medieval wooden screen brought from elsewhere and formed into a gallery. For much of its history this church was used as both barn and cottage, and it is now cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust.

Paddlesworth St Benedict is a redundant Anglican Church in the village of Paddlesworth near Snodland. The building is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. British listed building
Churches Conservation Trust
Paddlesworth became an extra parochial place when the church closed in 1678; the small settlement around the 11th century church was wiped out in 1349 by the Black Death.
The church building was used for agricultural building before 1935 when it was restored as a church. Further restoration has since taken place to preserve it.
It stands on the Pilgrim's way used by travellers from Winchester Cathedral to the shrine at Canterbury Cathedral.St Benedict's Church Paddlesworth

PADLESWORTH, commonly called Paulsford, lies the next parish westward from Snodland. It is called in Domesday PELLESORDE, and in the Textus Roffensis PÆDLESWRTHA.
THIS PARISH is very small, it lies between Snodland and the foot of the chalk hills, north-westward, on a chalky soil, which is but poor, the court-lodge with the ruins of the church near it, stands near in the centre of the parish, which is very obscure, and but little known to any one. This parish ought antiently to have contributed towards the repair of the ninth pier of Rochester bridge. (fn. 1)
AT THE TIME of taking the survey of Domesday, about the year 1080, this place was part of the vast possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, the Conqueror's half-brother, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in that record:
Hugo de Port holds of the bishop (of Baieux) Pellesorde. It was taxed at half a suling. The arable land is . . . . In demesne there is one carucate, and one villein, with four borderers, having three oxen. There is a church, and two servants, and five acres of meadow, and one acre of pasture. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth twenty shillings, when he received it thirty shillings, now forty shillings. Godric held it of king Edward.
The property of this place seems antiently to have been divided and in the possession of different owners.
The greatest part of this manor in the reign of king Henry III. seems to have been in the possession of the family of Chetwode, one of whom, Robert de Chetwode, exchanged it with Hamo de Gatton, of Throw ley, for other lands in Bedfordshire, (fn. 2) and he passed it away in the same reign to Sir Walter de Huntingfield, who was possessed of it in the 7th year of Edward I. (fn. 3)
In the 11th year of king Edward II. he had a demise in ferme from the prior and convent of Bermundesey, of their land of Padlesworth, which Roger de Leyborne had formerly given them, in consideration of eighty marcs. His son, Sir John de Huntingfield, owned it in the next reign of Edward III. when it was certified to have been held at the latter end of the reign of king Henry III. by Ralph de Padlesworth of William de Say, lord of Birling.
There was a remaining part of this manor, being esteemed as one third part of it, held in the reign of king Edward III. by the family of Basing, one of whom held it in the 11th year of that reign, from which name it went quickly after into that of Charles.
Richard Charles died possessed of this third part in the first year of king Richard II. leaving Richard and John, the two sons of his brother Roger Charles his next heirs. Alice, wife of Richard Charles, the elder firstabove-mentioned, at the time of her death, in the 9th year of that reign, held of the inheritance of Richard Charles, his kinsman and heir, this third part of the manor of Padlesworth in dower, excepting certain lands which were of the tenure of gavelkind, of which she was not endowed, of the king in capite by knights service, and by homage and fealty, and by the annual castle guard rent of twenty-four shillings to Rochester castle.
¶Soon after the above time, the whole of this manor seems to have been vested in the name of Bele, from whence it passed to Bullock, and thence again by sale to Diggs, where after staying a very short time, it was alienated to Peckham, and he sold it to Vineley, who passed it away to William Clifford, esq. of Bobbingcourt, and he conveyed it to John Bamberg, (fn. 4) who bore for his arms, Argent, on a chief, sable, a lion passant of the first. His daughter and heir Elizabeth, carried it in marriage to Nicholas Wotton, esq. and his descendant, Sir Edward Wotton, of Boughton Malherb, was, by king James I. created lord Wotton, of Marley. His son and heir, Thomas, lord Wotton, died in the 6th year of king Charles I. leaving four daughters his coheirs, of whom, Catherine, the eldest, entitled her husband, Henry, lord Stanhope, to the possession of this manor. He died in his father's life-time, in the 10th year of king Charles I. upon which she became again possessed of it in her own right, and afterwards passed it away by sale to John Marsham, esq. of Whornes-place, in Cookstone, afterwards in 1663 created a baronet, and his descendant, the Right Hon. Charles, lord Romney, is the present proprietor of this manor.
It is now held of the manor of Swanscombe, by castle guard rent to the castle of Rochester.
PADLESWORTH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Rochester and deanry of Malling
This church was antiently esteemed but as a chapel to the adjoining church of Birling. It has been long in ruins; that part of it which is left standing, is built of flint, with ashler quoins, &c. and has been many years made use of as a barn. It stands close to the north side of the farm-yard belonging to the manorhouse. It is valued in the king's books at 3l. 6s. 8d.
This church seems always to have been accounted an appendage to the manor, as such the sine cure is now in the patronage of the Right Hon. Charles, lord Romney.

Tonight, the moon is hidden altogether. It’s presence is given away only by its light passing through the clouds, and then again through the trees. But that is more than enough proof that she is there, tugging at the oceans - and at hearts everywhere.. After all, our bodies are mostly water, blood and bone, aren’t they?
Why wouldn’t we be effected just as strongly as the ocean as the moon sweeps from horizon to horizon.. Maybe that’s why we toss and turn in our beds on moonlit nights… or maybe not..
c1908 postcard view of pedestrians and businesses on Randolph Street in Garrett, Indiana. The photographer was standing north of the King Street intersection and looking south along Randolph Street. Randolph Street was very busy at the time, but all of the vehicles were horse-drawn wagons or buggies. There were no automobiles in this scene.
The first two businesses were in single-story brick buildings and the third was in a two-story brick building. When the 1901 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set was being prepared, they were all single-story buildings with a saloon, a drugstore and a millinery shop occupying them. Near the left edge of this scene, a sign on the side of that two-story brick building advertised __D CLARK DRUGS, PAINTS, OILS & WALL PAPER. A 1905 directory of druggists¹ listed O. F. Clark as one of four druggists in Garrett. A similar 1912 directory² listed the Clark & Smith pharmacy business in Garrett. The 1910 census listed a Garrett druggist whose name appears to be Orelin F. Clark. The bottom line of the sign advertised ACME STOCK FOOD. It was cattle feed, and was produced in Chicago by the Acme Food Co.
Below the Clark advertisement was another that advertised REYHERS. This sign is at the location where the 1901 map set shows a drug store. The 1914 county history³ mentions a “Reyher drug store,” but the druggist directories from that era don’t include the Reyher name.
The only other readable sign was the LUNCH sign painted on the small shack standing in Randolph Street just south of King Street.
The building with the Clark advertising and the building on the west side of the street with the bay window were still standing as of 2013.

But i'm coming to relize that maybe the reason that I change so much is because i'm trying to drop what is and run away. Yes, it makes me feel weak. But I can't help but feel free.
but not before i learned how to swim.... i was too tall for the learning pool so i was thrown in the deep end of the big baths ..... didnt kill me.... im still here
But it's time that I was movin’, I've a mighty way to go
Till I drink artesian water from a thousand feet below;
Till I meet the overlanders with the cattle comin' down,
And I'll work a while till I make a pile, then have a spree in town.
So it's shift, boys, shift, for there isn't the slightest doubt
That we've got to make a shift to the stations further out,
With the pack-horse runnin' after, for he follows like a dog,
We must strike across the country at the old jig-jog.
~ from the poem 'A bushman's song' by A.B. (Banjo) Patterson
but my legs keep carrying me further and further away. I want to stop and turn, and see that you haven't abandoned me completely, that you're there when I need you. I want to fall face down and just lie there until time stops, until we're together in a better place. I want to run to you, but these legs wont take me there. I want to move, but these legs are frozen. I'm full of contradictions but you look past them and see everything else. I am not worth your time yet you still seem to stop the clock each and everyday. The numb feeling that surges through my body is something of beauty, of pain. I need you to kill me. I need me to be part of my past.
my Lord, I want more of you and less of me.
I know, I'm 24 hours late, but I have an excuse - I spent some extra time working on this bad boy, my cardboard AR-15 frankengun. Using measurements from my airsoft M4 and the cardboard lower receiver I made God knows how long ago, I built a basic rifle in around 5 days. It has a working bolt with charging handle, working magazine release, trigger, and can be field stripped by removing the two takedown pins. I based the upper receiver on that of an M16A1, because I hate the ugly brass deflector. The lower is your typical lower receiver, the stock is a 4-position CAR-15 style stock, and it has a smooth handguard and a very skinny barrel. It could still use some work, but for the most part it's finished. [5-29 UPDATE: Added magazine fencing] [5-31 UPDATE: Fixed mushy spring, replaced buttpad]
Don't worry, I'm still working on the AK but I haven't been able to do a whole lot due to school, video games, and general procrasination. I also plan to make a M1911A1, because I haven't made a pistol in a while and my last 1911 was a complete failure.
Max: "...But, I mean, how does he carry all of those presents? His sleigh would have to be the size of an aircraft carrier!"
Benny: "Sigh...I don't know Max. Now let me work!"
Max: "And if it is the size of an aircraft carrier, how do just nine reindeer pull it? They must be really strong!"
Benny: "Maybe..."
Max: "And how does he travel all around the world in just one night?"
Benny: "I don't know! ....It's just...magic...ok?! Just magic. Now leave me alone!"
Max: "...Does he have like a time turner like Hermione Granger uses in Harry Potter? Because then he could always switch the time back and get to everyone's house in one night. ...But I didn't think time turners were real..."
Benny: "Will you just be quiet?!"
Max: "I mean, this whole 'Santa' thing is just really hard to believe. What if he's not real? Then I wouldn't have to worry about being good all the time! That would be great! ...But then, who gives me presents on Christmas day?"
Benny: "I DON'T KNOW! GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!"
Max: "Well, I did, but she told me to go ask you these questions."
Benny: "Sigh..."
But not as bad as they were yesterday and the swelling isn't as bad either. It's probably bad when sunburns swell up, huh?
Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream.
I am so happy to be back to making doll pictures again!
I've just finished rearranging my house, so now all my dolls, along with all their clothes and photo props, are upstairs in the bedroom that used to belong to my son. (He has been out of the house for a couple of years, so I thought it was safe to use his old room!) I also transferred everything from my old sewing room which was downstairs, up to the new space, so I now have a big studio where I can work, and I can close the door to keep out the cats when I'm done. Up until now I've had a small sewing room with no door, and all my dolls and photography props had taken over our small dining room, which also has no door. I knew it would be a huge and difficult task to move it all upstairs, which is why it has taken so long to happen, but I am so glad I finally did it.
Now that the dust has settled, it's time to be creative with dolls again--yay! In today's photo, Pretty Peony and her friends might be floating down a stream in bathtubs; or perhaps they are safe at home, only imagining this adventure.
Still missing something but we wanted the jumper to look less old fashioned. I think it’s coming together. If anything, we wanted to experiment with proportions of the vest.

She is definitely trouble - to my heart that is! Love this girl! She is so different, but the same as her sister, that the two of them make it hard to breathe.
Bookend - Light training, she is learning very quickly to find the right light!
This is all part of a narrow, but long park that follows along the Hope River slough. It's perfect for going for a long peaceful walk.
Super Deformed Ultraman heroes and kaiju figures. Apart from four (two Mega block figures and two others) they are all from a Play set. The set was in the form of Ultraman face and when transformed it turned to be the HQ with many vehicles, It was a real cool toy for my son but over the years most of the HQ parts gone missing but a few bits and pieces left somewhere in many boxes stored in the garage. The set was purchased in 2004 but the actual issue year should be earlier than 2004.
the purchase
PHOTO NUMBER 1 OF 3
Walking into an old shop with relics and antiques in China Town, the old Chinese man handed the minipimp an umbrella.
"Ah yes, 'mbella you want? That be 5 dolla", said the man that seemed to be about 500 years old. The young girl handed the man her weekly allowance.
This was it thought the girl. The ad in the newspaper clipping she found on the city streets claimed that this umbrella was magic.
"Yes yes you see right here you just wave around like this kay? You do real good kay honey?", said the man in a very fast voice while waving around the umbrella. Minipimp assumed this was his way of giving instruction on how to use it.
"Seems easy enough", she thought to herself.
So the little girl walked outside and down to the end of the block. She twirled the umbrella around. She waved it up and down. She tapped it against a building. She shoved it into a hole made for recycled cans. She twirled it, waved it, and bounced it.
Nothing.
And just as she was about to give up, she looked over at the shop she purchased this umbrella. And inside the display she saw the Chinese man. And from she could make out, he kind of winked at her. She found this most bizarre because it was not the kind of expression you would typically get from an old Asian man.
But just as he did, he seemed to disappear. Or maybe he fell. Or maybe she wasn't seeing it correctly through the stained glass window. She wasn't sure.
But what she does know is that the minute the man seemed to disappear, something actually appeared on the umbrella.
to be continued...
Still needs some work but could end up being fun. Looks pretty different running at a low FPS, due to the screen recording overhead, will try on my Mac Pro again at some point.
Physics are done using Bullet3D.
