A shot of an old cooker that was in the same building as the last shot. Taken with my Bronica SQ-a with some Ilford Delta 100.
NEW BRIGHTON LIGHTHOUSE (PERCH ROCK)
PERCH ROCK, NEW BRIGHTON LIGHTHOUSE, SITS NEXT TO THE FORT, IT WAS ORIGINALLY, A WOODEN "PERCH", HENCE ITS NAME. A LARGE POST HELD A LIGHT ON TOP AND WAS SUPPORTED BY A SORT OF TRIPOD. IT WAS ERECTED ON THE BLACK ROCK IN 1683 BY THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATION.
WHEN FOREIGN SHIPS, PASSED THE OLD PERCH, THEY WERE CHARGED SIXPENCE FOR ITS RESPECT AND TO KEEP IT IN REPAIR. BUT IT WAS OFTEN WASHED AWAY AND A BOAT HAD TO BE LAUNCHED TO RECOVER IT FROM BOOTLE BAY. IN FEBRUARY 1821, THE PILOT BOAT "LIVER" CRASHED INTO THE PERCH AND CARRIED IT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IT WAS WASHED AWAY IN MARCH 1824 AND NOT RECOVERED UNTIL THE DECEMBER.
HOWEVER THE COST OF REPLACING IT ALL THE TIME GREW TOO EXPENSIVE AND IT WAS DECIDED TO BUILD A NEW ONE.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE NEW LIGHTHOUSE WAS LAID ON 8TH JUNE 1827 BY THOMAS LITTLEDALE, MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL. IT WAS DESIGNED ON THE LINES OF EDDYSTONE BY MR. FOSTER AND BUILT OF MARBLE ROCK FROM ANGLESEY BY TOMKINSON & COMPANY. IT RISES 90 FEET ABOVE THE ROCKS AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE A MASTERPIECE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE GRANITE COST 1/6D A CUBIC FOOT.
EACH PIECE OF STONE IS INTERLOCKED INTO THE NEXT. THE WHOLE STONEWORK, WHEN FINISHED , WAS COATED WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS "PUZZELLANI" A VOLCANIC SUBSTANCE FROM MOUNT ETNA WHICH, WITH AGE, BECOMES ROCK HARD. THE FIRST 45 FEET IS SOLID. A SPIRAL STAIRCASE LEADS TO WHERE THE KEEPER LIVED AND THEN ON TO THE LANTERN HOUSE. THE REVOLVING LIGHT WAS SAID TO BE THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY. IT COST £27,500 TO CONSTRUCT.
THE LIGHTHOUSE IN USE
WORK WAS ONLY POSSIBLE AT LOW TIDE AND IT WAS NOT COMPLETED UNTIL 1830. ITS FIRST LIGHT SHONE ON THE 1ST MARCH OF THAT YEAR AND CONSISTED OF TWO WHITE FLASHES, FOLLOWED BY ONE RED, WITH A RANGE OF 14 MILES. THE LIGHT WAS 77 FEET ABOVE THE HALF-TIDE LEVEL. IT WAS EVENTUALLY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE MAINLAND.
THE LIGHTHOUSE LAST SHONE ITS LIGHT ON 1ST OCTOBER 1973 AS IT WAS NO LONGER NEEDED ON ACCOUNT OF THE RADAR SYSTEM OPERATING IN THE RIVER.
THE LIGHTHOUSE NOW
A LOCAL ARCHITECT PURCHASED THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR £100 ON CONDITION HE MAINTAINED THE CONSTRUCTION, HE TRIED TO RESTORE THE LANTERN AGAIN BUT THE RIVER AUTHORITIES THOUGHT IT MIGHT CAUSE CONFUSION TO LOCAL SHIPPING. SO HE REFURBISHED IT SO THAT ANYONE COULD STAY THERE FOR A SHORT HOLIDAY. INDEED, IT WAS THEIR IDEA TO ATTRACT NEWLY MARRIED COUPLES TO SPEND PART OF THEIR HONEYMOON THERE AT A COST OF £50 A DAY, WITH CHAMPAGNE AND FLOWERS THROWN IN.
WITH ELECTRICITY BEING INTRODUCED, THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE HAS A GALLEY WITH COOKER AND REFRIDGERATOR AND, ON THE FIRST FLOOR, A BATHROOM WITH SHOWER. THERE IS A LIVING ROOM AND A BEDROOM ON THE NEXT TWO FLOORS. THE LIGHTHOUSE EVEN HAS A TELEVISION, JUST IN CASE ONE GETS BORED WITH LOOKING AT THE SEA. A LADDER HAS TO BE OBTAINED FROM THE FORT TO GAIN THE NECESSARY HEIGHT TO REACH THE 15 IRON RUNGS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AS THE DOOR IS 25 FEET FROM THE BASE.

Toss into rice cooker 3-5 eggs, chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese cut into strips (add black pepper to taste) and then use non scratching utensil and stir vigorously (or mix in another bowl). Set rice cooker as you normally would (mine is automatic) for white rice and when the cycle is done so is the frittata (if not ready at end of cycle leave in rice cooker which is still warm for a few more minutes).To remove treat it like a cake, drop onto a plate then use a second plate to flip over. No oil needed. No salt needed (thanks to the cheese).

The slow cooker is a hand-me-down from Nathan's mom. She was almost apologizing when she offered it to me, saying that it was old but still worked, and I tried to explain to her that the oldness and the flowers and the brown tones made it 100 times better than a new one. Anyway. I finally got around to using it, and I am a big fan so far.
My mixer is there in the background, obviously; I continue to love it more than anyone should love an object. The coffee press is from Ikea; it's pretty okay.
It stands! The 2nd set of legs are not actually drilled or bolted at this point - just a test fitting to find the best level balance.

I wanted to check if the high-articulated minifig is stronger than the low-articulated lego.

Iron-man wins but he has bad stomach pains because of meals he ate.
