First time doing a Tatty Teddy. Made of fondant and fur piped in RI (my daughter said it looked scary b/c the fur was spikey, thanks to my not-so-good piping skills)
I received a package from my friend Ashley today! I decided to share what she wrote on the box, some words, names, expressions that mean something to each of us.
I can't believe I've known her for more than a year already and that I met her randomly on the internet. And she's coming over in June/July! Can't wait!

Kahn's laid down to eat his dinner! I think that's a first, but he was hot and the rock was cool.
Daily Dog Challenge: Pattern/s
I love the Brindle pattern of Kahn's coat. I wonder if he was named Kahn after Shere Khan from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (but if that's the case they spelled it differently).
Alternatively this is one of the patterns of the day: chicken frames for dinner.
This is his request.....Mom, I love quail egg chick and smiley mark. Please make smiley bento box tomorrow, my younger boy said last night. Okey, okey I'll make it. ..and I made this:D

Xyla seemed to like this box, so I cut off three of the flaps and put the "bed" from the cat carrier in it. She was leery at first, but she seems to like it.
This box was inspired by some Gothic ivory carvings I saw at The Cloisters in NYC this August. The box ended up a lot more Baroque though.

In this piece of the world, this is called a box canyon. Most everywhere else, a box canyon has a definite steep end, once you get trapped in there, there's no escaping the sheriff. This one's more like a box with both ends open.
Regional differences, I guess...

Summer 2014 2nd leg: "Getting High"
July 13: an early visit to Piedra Falls, warming up in Piedra River canyon, getting wet in Pagosa Springs.
The Muddy Fork of the mighty Cowlitz River. In the past we've rushed here only to head up the Wonderland about 7.5 miles to camp for a few days in the backcountry. It was a little bittersweet to see the trail head this day and not be setting out again ... even though we hiked it back in 2013 (www.flickr.com/photos/33792231@N00/albums/72157635367885654). But, this trip was more about the front country so we actually had the time to stop and take some shots of this incredibly awesome box canyon.
I thought I was taking a picture of a phone box but when I looked inside it had a cash machine!

Ricardo Brey (born 1955) is a child of the Cuban Revolution. He is one of the pioneer artists of Cuban New Art which began in 1891. Disillusioned by the ideals of the Cuban Revolution as corrupted by the regime of Fidel Castro, Brey participated in this key event along with many notable Cuban artists, writers and art critics.
More than twenty years after leaving Cuba, Brey was given the first retrospective of his work at the Museo Nacional Bellas Artes in Havana (2014). Belgium, Brey’s adopted country, presented the first European retrospective of his work the Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp.
These boxes from Edwardian times and containing tableware - fancy fish cutlery and servers, cake forks etc, etc. - have been passed down from my wife's grandparents. They have survived being blitzed in WW2 in West Kensington, London and a variety of moves around Southern England. They have been safely tucked away with us for over 30 years and we are considering their future as they are hopelessly out of fashion. In the meanwhile they languish in an untidy little stack.
Also associated with the 1940 West Kensington time is an eye-witness letter from my wife's aunt when she was fourteen years old in 1940 written during and immediately after a bombing raid. A very powerful document indeed that still affects us both whenever we read it.

The Kumabolo N faces are rather faded/light compared to my usaggie ones. I think it's because they're darker in general. But it still photographs really nicely so I'm not complaining.

A few long term rail contacts on Flickr will know that for many years my dad has been looking for an image of this signal box. It was the first place he worked and no matter where he looked or who I spoke with we couldn't find a photo of the box. Everything changed this week. Not just one picture but two came to light. This one was purchased by dad and shows the box and an unknown entourage at some point prior to the Great War.
The box was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1893 and closed by British Railways in 1970. I will let dad supply a few additional notes.
Signalmen were: Clifford Dickinson, Arthur Burton and Bill Humphreys, working three shifts in turn, 6.0 am to 2.0 pm, 2.0 pm to 10.0 pm and 10.0 pm to 6.0 am, days, afternoons and nights, Monday to Saturday, starting a new shift every Monday. The branch line to Castleford and Methley did not operate on Sunday. Train register lads: John Firth and Keith Matthews, working days and afternoon shift alternate weeks.
The box controlled the up and down main and goods lines to and from London to Leeds, the branch line to and from Methley, the East and West line to Robin Hood, the Lofthouse colliery sidings lines and the goods yard at Outwood. Quite busy at times.
I have a recollection of a then, circa 1954, experimental diesel unit testing on the Methley to Leeds line, it deliberately stopped on the steepest part of the 1 in 49 uphill gradient near the junction with the main line, then set off again with no problems. Steam engines often needed a ‘banker’ engine at the rear to assist them up the incline. My signalman friend remarked, “Well John that’s thefuture, we won’t need steam engines when these take over”.
Train register lads duties were: recording, the exact time of all bell contacts relating to the passage of each train in the registers, (eight entries per train). There were different bell codes for each type of train, a light engine was 2-3 rings, an express passenger train 4 bells, etc. Other duties were receiving and transmitting Morse code telegraph messages, telephoning Leeds Central Control with times of VIP trains, etc. Non clerical duties included keeping the box clean and levers polished, washing the many windows, emptying the chemical toilet and burying it behind the box. Plus the unofficial task of operating the box whilst the signalman had his breakfast or tea. Happy days.
