My second batch of x-rays for the day. Everything is looking "fine". You can see all my "bling" from what looks like the hardware store.
What can I say about St Michaels? Well, I liked the church, however, those coming out of the church hall letting their children play in the gravestones! not very clever or nice if you ask me.
And then there is the church, all full of icons, shrines to St Mary and the air thick with incense, I guess this is about has high as you can get in Anglican.
Situated on a hill overlooking the old village set in a small valley, and over the road from the old Leper Hospital, the graveyard is overgrown, and is a Gothic nightmare if one were to come at night, all very large Victorian stones.
It is two weeks ago since we visited, so my memory is a little rusty, let's see what John has to say:
--------------------------------------------------------
Most people visit the chapel of St Nicholas Hospital in Harbledown, which is just as much a place of pilgrimage today as it was in the Middle Ages. However, the nearby church of St Michael is full of character despite the fact that it dates in the main from 1880. The south aisle is part of the original Norman church - one blocked window survives - and there is a damaged thirteenth-century piscina. There is also an unusual piece of carved stone of uncertain age which represents two bulls fighting, with a sun above them. The architect for the enlargement of 1880 was J.P. St Aubyn - never the most sensitive of architects. There is some pleasing nineteenth- and twentieth-century glass including a rare representation of the Search for the Holy Grail.

-------------------------------------------------
On hilltop (c. 160ft. above sea level) in centre of village immediately north of sunken main road from London to Canterbury. Blean forest to north.
Until 1825, there was only a simple nave and chancel. Then a 'north transept' was built. This was demolished when the architect, St. Aubyn built a new chancel and nave (and north porch) along the north side of the old chancel and nave in 1880-1.
The original nave is early Norman, with Quarr stone quoins on the south-west corner. Also Quarr stone voussoirs in round arch above door on S.W. side of nave. The original extent of the nave to the east is marked by a 'megalithic' block of ragstone 3/4s of the way along the south wall. The coursed whole flintwork of the west wall of the original nave is also early, and there is a blocked round-headed window in the upper gable wall (also ? Quarr stone quoins). Inside the church the remains of rere-arch of another round-headed window has been uncovered in the south wall of the nave, and Petrie's early 19th century drawing appears to show another on the north side. There is the remains of a possible piscina in the south wall near the east end of the original nave. Nearby the so-called 'stone of Mithras' is set into the wall (it was discovered in 1881 and is perhaps medieval).
The nave was lengthened eastwards and a new chancel was built perhaps in the 13th/14th century. Only the rere-arch of the east window is medieval. The other windows and the chancel arch were all totally restored in 1880-1. There is the remains of a medieval crown-post roof in the nave, and of a little timber bell-turret above the west-end of the nave (probably late medieval, but supported internally in the roof by 19th century timbers. It is weather-boarded, but Hasted describes it as shingled. It contains 4 bells: Hatch, 1603; Palmer, 1670; and Henry Jordan (1442-68) inscribed 'Sancte Katerina ora pro nobis'.
A west gallery and timber porch outside the west doorway are said to have been demolished in 1879. Also a 'Tudor' arch is said to have been replaced as the original chancel arch by the present one in 1881. In 1979 the original chancel was partitioned off behind the arch and become the vestry with a W.C. and upper room.
A new door was cut on the south-east. The north transept, built in 1825 in brick (with a slate roof and timber window-frames and a gallery), was cased in flint and stone in 1855. A new high tiled roof and gable was built, and the windows were replaced in stone. This was swept away in 1880-1, when the new larger nave and chancel were built, with an arcade of three arches to connect with the old church. An organ was installed in the old chancel (moved to the west end of the south aisle in 1979).
BUILDING MATERIALS (incl. old plaster, paintings, glass, tiles etc.): Early Norman quoins of Quarr stone, also ragstone + Caen stone. The main material is flint. Restoration in 1880-1 in ? Bath stone.

www.recyclart.org/2011/04/up-cycling-can-house/
This house made of 40,000 recycled drink cans was built at Bonnaroo Music Festival last summer. I designed and built it so that up-cycling could be physically demonstrated: we used excer-cycles to pedal empty cans up a conveyor belt, 16' to pour into the bin, which was designed to be a cylindrical house. It was a huge hit at the fest, and I'll be building another with St. Lawrence University in March.
My mission as a sculptor is to help people see the beauty in the world around them, and not need to add more stuf to it, but rather reuse and repurpose those things which are here already. we sure do have enough stuff.

Sometimes words escape you. Sometimes you read or hear something so outrageous that your mind at first fails to fully comprehend the significance of it. I read in today's Guardian that the head of British far right BNP party, Nick Griffins said that the EU should sink ships carrying immigrants to Europe.
So firing upon innocent people and leaving them to die in open seas is OK. What the hell? They're not "civilised", so they wouldn't be able to fit in with "advanced" societies that produce such morally upstanding individuals as Griffin. And to think this piece of trash was elected the European parliament last month.
"Boats carrying illegal migrants to Europe should be sunk Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National party, said yesterday.
In a provocative intervention, Griffin, elected to the European parliament last month, called on the EU to introduce "very tough" measures to prevent illegal migrants entering Europe from Africa.
"I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea โ I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya," Griffin said."

In July 2015 work commenced to excavate parts of the floor of the Cathedral ruins in order to provide waterproofing for the crypt chapels beneath the north-east corner. As a result sections of the pre-war floor of the cathedral have been revealed for the first time since the building was destroyed by bombing in 1940.
It appears that the postwar paving of the ruins was laid over the original floor and much of the war debris, thus burying it at a depth of more than two feet in places. Though badly damaged by the collapse of so much of the building many of the ledger slabs, memorial inscriptions laid in the old floor, can be seen for the first time since the bombing. One slab in particular shows the indents of late medieval brasses, with the ghostly outlines of a man and his two wives. In other places there are even fragments of burnt wood visible that were once part of the lost choir stalls.
At one end of the excavated area a pit is visible that reveals two medieval windowcills and a small niche above a doorway, which currently define the outer edge of the Wyley Chapel crypt, but originally formed part of St Mary's chapel, a formerly two-storey building that was later partially demolished and incorporated into St Michael's church when it was extended in the later Middle Ages.
For two weeks sections of the floor will remain visible giving visitors a rare glimpse of what lies beneath the current paving of the ruins before a new waterproof membrane is installed and the area repaved as before.
Bill Harrison of Washington, Pa., isn't fond of litter. It's one of the reasons why he scours the city for aluminum cans, which he recycles for a few extra bucks to buy ice cream and soft drinks. He's a local celebrity, as well as an honorary firefighter. Volunteer fireman gave him a helmet and uniform with reflective tape a few years ago after he suffered minor injuries when struck by a vehicle while negotiation his wagon among traffic. At 48, he considers himself a young buck.
