Today the golf course was closed because of high winds. The pro told me that it was gusting 65mph so it was unsafe. I had to be content with gap wedge practice away from the course (and in particular away from trees that might blow over). This is the practice green, with flags fluttering wildly.
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are visiting ! **Quiet (not people).
If anyone knows what animal it was, please tell me. It's about six inches long, and looking at the teeth, probably carnivorous.
Found on a golf course in Hanwell, London W7.

This is a photograph from the seventh annual Donadea 50KM Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 13th February 2016 at 10:00. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Silver Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. The race completes 10 loops of a very well known 5KM trail around the circumference of the forest. Most of this trail is in very good condition with good conditions underfoot for the entire 5KM stretch. The start-finish area is located close to the coffee shop area in the center of the park beside the now ruined and abandoned Donadea Castle. This year, like all previous events, was a fantastic event with great support around the course for the athletes. However the structure of the course with the repeated loops makes a great atmosphere for the runners themselves with great camaraderie being shown amongst all of the competitors. This is one of the most popular 50KM races in Ireland. A garmin GPS link is available here [connect.garmin.com/activity/70206204]
Want to use this photograph or share it? Please read/scroll down a little further to find out how - it's very easy!
We have a full set of photographs from the event today on our Flickr photostream in the following album: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157664641851105]
Where is Donadea?. Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection. It is a special occasion to allow the 50KM to be held in this environment.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Members of the South Carolina National Guard Pre-Mobilization Training Assistance Element assist in a pre-deployment course for approximately 30 Airmen from Joint Base Charleston at McCrady Training Center in Eastover, South Carolina, March 6-10, 2017. The week-long course familiarizes Airmen with the ability properly execute Army Warrior Tasks (AWT) to Army standards. AWTs are basic tasks all Soldiers should be proficient in regardless of their career field.
The first day, March 6, Airmen learned basic land navigation skills. These skills included how to read a map, use a compass and plot coordinates on the map using a protractor.
Saturday, and hey, hey it's the weekend.
I felt as though the weather had kept me trapped in the house pretty much all week, so I wanted to go out.
Jools came back from work evening, saying that her old boss had visited Rochester Cathedral and said there is a fantastic art display of thousands of paper doves, and a huge table made from reclaimed 5,000 tree trunk found in a fen in Norfolk.
Yes, we would like some of that action, and as it has been three years since we were last there, seemed like a good idea.
In fact, at the beginning of March 2020, it was the first trip we took in the new Audi, and of course, two weeks later there was lockdown and deaths.
So, a trip back, at Easter, for a rebirth and to see some art and a huge table.
But first, shopping.
And being the start of the month, we get much more than usual, including wine to make sloe port and stuff for washing and cleaning.
Back home to put it all away and have breakfast and second coffee before heading out. Though because of Brexit-related delays in the port, we did have to leave through Guston and Pineham to get to the A2 as traffic through Whitfield was at a standstill.
Up the A2 to Faversham, then along the Motorway until we turned off just after the Medway bridge. It was later than we had hoped, but thought nothing of it, really.
But there was a food festival on near the caste, and all parking was full, we drove along the river thinking we would just give up, then following the sat nav back into town we find a tiny car park with spaces, and just a few minutes walk from the cathedral and castle.
Perfect.
As we drove past the parish church in Strood, I saw thatt he door was open: oh good.
On the way to the cathedral, we called into a café for breakfast. Second breakfast. Elevenses. I had a bacon butty and Jools had a panini, which hit the spot, meaning we were ready to go and mingle with people.
By the time we emerged, and walked along the High Street to the church, it was closed. So I took some shots of the outside, and then we headed for the bridge over the Medway, and before the Cathedral, there was the Bridge Chapel.
I had discovered from a fr
iend that the Bridge over the Medway at Rochester was owned, repaired and funded by a charity/trust, and had been this was pretty much from the 14th century.
Only the other shell of the Chantry Chapel of the Bridge now remains, but a new roof has been put on, and the chapel now used for meetings, and has a large wooden table filling most of the Chancel. I record the details, say thanks to the two friendly guides, and we finally walk to the Cathedral.
The food festival needed tickets to go in, it smelled good, and a band was playing poor Britpop numbers to entertain the thin crowds.
We entered the cathedral, and hit by the sight of over 10,000 paper doves, all lit with pink light, having over the Nave.
It was impressive.
As was the table, pushed to one side but half the length of the Nave, and made of two and three thick planks.
I went round taking shots of the stained glass with the big lens, whilst Jools sat and looked after the camera bag.
Despite it being a cool day, with my fleece on I was hot, so needed a drink, and along the old High Street was The George, and they showed us to the "garden", which was a huge tent filled with people, one party were loudly celebrating someone's 40th birthday.
But our drinks were brought quickly, and being in the corner we could people watch, of course.
It was two, and time to go home. The traffic jams of earlier had melted away, so we walked to the car, turned out onto the main road out of town, to the motorway and home.
On the radio Citeh put 4 (four) past Liverpool, then all was about preparations for the main group of games.
We arrived back home at three, time for a brew and two hot cross buns each, and for me, listen to the footy on the radio, and hopeful that City's late push to the play-offs would start today.
It didn't.
A 1-0 loss to Sheffield Utd, just one shot on goal, and the season is deader than flares.
I watched the evening game, Chelsea losing to Villa, whilst Craig returned on the radio and spun some funk and soul.
Perfect.

A conveyance of land in the parish of St Clements, Rochester dated 1 April 1393. It is thought that it is on this land that the chapel was built by Sir John de Cobham, in the same year.
The archives contain a chapel memoranda book dating from the 15th century. On this page reference is made to John de Cobham and Robert Knolles as being the founders of the bridge and the chapel.
entry from paymasters account book of 1546 showing amounts paid for the half year wages of the chapel priests, and also reference to purchase of wine, candles and bread. Soon after this the Chantry chapels in England were to close as the Reformation continued to curtail their activities.
In November 1912, Harald Brakspear, architect, ARIBA surveyed and wrote a report on the ruined chapel, this plan appears in this report and clearly shows the location of the aumbry, piscinas and where the rood screen would have been located. The structure shown as a ‘vice’ is an architectural term for a medieval spiral staircase. This staircase would have been encased by the clocktower which can be seen on 18th century illustrations of the Bridge House/Chamber. The outline of the doorway that led on to the vice is still apparent in the chapel. The chapel had three altars – Brakspear denotes these with a cross. These were dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Blessed Virgin Mary and All Saints.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the east end, and fronting the passage over the bridge, was a CHAPEL or PERPETUAL CHANTRY, erected by Sir John de Cobham, one of the founders of the new bridge.
This chapel seems to have been finished soon after the bridge, and was called Allesolven chapel. By the foundation charter, three chaplains, to be appointed by the wardens of the bridge, were to officiate in it, particularly for the use of travellers, and to pray for the souls of the benefactors of the bridge, as well those living, as deceased, and especially for the souls of the lord John of Cobham, the founder and patron, and of Sir Robert Knolles, William Wangford, and Eleanor his wife, John Fremingham, and Alice his wife, William Makenade, Sir William Rykhull, then living, and for the souls of those deceased, viz. Sir William atte Pole, and Joane his wife, Nicholas Potyn, Constance, wife of Sir Robert Knolles, the lady Margaret, wife of Sir John de Cobham, before-mentioned, John Bukyng ham, formerly bishop of Lincoln, Sir William Waleworth, and all faithful people deceased.
They were to reside constantly in apartments contiguous to the chapel, and each of them was to receive an annual allowance of six pounds, at the hands of the wardens of the bridge, out of the revenues of it, who were to be at all expences of repairs, ornaments, utensils, and other matters whatsoever. (fn. 56)
But in the reign of king Henry VI. the revenues of the bridge were so diminished, that application was made to the king for his assistance, towards the maintenance of these chaplains, who, in his 20th year, granted to the wardens and their successors, the sum of one hundred shillings, which the convent and monastery of St. Augustine, near Canterbury, and their successors, used to pay yearly at the exchequer, from the ferm of the hundreds of Ryngleslowe, Dunhamford, and Blengate, in this county, to hold to them and their successors for ever.
What became of this chantry in the reigns of king Henry VIII. and king Edward VI. I have not learned, but in the year 1575, anno 18 queen Elizabeth, there was an arrear of five hundred pounds or more, depending in the court of exchequer, and probably due to the crown from the wardens and commonalty of the bridge, for the salary of the priests of this suppressed chantry. This suit Sir Roger Manwood brought to an issue, and the cause being tried at the assizes, and judgment given in the exchequer, it was for ever discharged.
On the ground where this chapel stood a very neat stone building was erected by the wardens of the bridge, in 1735. The upper part of this building is stiled the Bridge-chamber, in which, and an adjoining room over the Crown gateway, the wardens and assistants hold their weekly and annual meetings. On the front of this new building are the arms, carved in stone, of the principal benefactors to the bridge.
AN ACCOUNT of the river Medway has already been given in the General History of this county, it only remains therefore for some account to be given of THE OYSTER FISHERY on this river, carried on in the several creeks and branches of it within the liberties of this city, for the conducting of which there is a Company of Free-dredgermen established by prescription time out of mind, subject to the government and authority of the mayor and citizens.
¶But several persons contesting this authority, great inconveniences arose from it, and the fishery was much endangered by it; to prevent which, the corporation and free-dredgermen petitioned parliament for relief in the 2d year of king George II. when an act passed for the better ordering and governing this fishery; for making them secure under the protection of the mayor and citizens, and for confirming and settling their power and jurisdiction over that and the free dredgers belonging to it. By it the mayor and citizens have power once or oftener in every year to hold a court of admiralty, to which the dredgers are summoned, and a jury is appointed from among them, which has power to make rules and orders for the times, when the oystergrounds shall be opened (fn. 57) and shut, and the quantity of oysters which shall be taken on each day of dredging, and also for the preservation of the brood and spat of oysters, and for otherwise regulating the fishery, with power for the jury to impose fines for the breach of all such orders as shall have been approved and confirmed by the mayor and citizens, to whose use all fines are to be applied. Every person is free of this company, after having served an apprenticeship of seven years. Any person catching oysters in this river, not free of the fishery, is termed a cablebanger, and liable to such penalty as the mayor and citizens shall impose on him.
The company frequently buy brood, or spat, from other parts, which they lay down in the river, where it soon grows to maturity. Great quantities of these oysters are sent to London and Holland, and even to Westphalia, and the adjacent countries.

A filet of John Dory sits on top a bed of cook diced potatoes and creamed leeks. The fish is topped with a tomato compote and sauced with a truffle vinaigrette. A milky green Bibb lettuce sauce is poured table-side.
Notes: Yikes, was my first thought. This looks and smells like cod. Not that cod is bad - but it's not John Dory. The filet was *perfectly* cooked, as a piece of cod - meaty with a little bit of bounce.
The flavors were wonderful - I especially liked the truffle vinaigrette, which reminded me of the truffle vinaigrette I had in a <a href="Butter-poached lobster tail with a carrot-ginger puree, coconut soup, tarragon juice, pink grapefruit with basil chiffonade and brown butter powder.
The pototoes and creamed leeks were great - both in flavor and texture - I just wished that the creamed leeks had been a bit less gooked up with the cream sauce - a little cleaner - slightly dressed.
The tomato "confit" on top was one of my favorite aspects - tangy, meaty, and very flavorful - full of natural umami. Were those oven-dried or sun-dried?
The Bibb lettuce sauce was sadly not very distinct in flavor. I was hoping a good shot of lettuce flavor. Instead, it was just a creamy sauce was more noticed for its unctuous texture than its flavor. I think the problem is that Bibb lettuce is such a light tasting lettuce as it is, that any "Bibbness" of the sauce became masked by the other bold flavors in this dish.
Overall, this dish was very strong, with the exception of the confusion over the fish. I personally love light flaky fish - which is why I was looking forward to Dory. Getting something that looked, smelled and tasted like cod was a not necessarily deflating, but not what I had been anticipating. Also, the over-creamy leeks aside, I just wished there had been a bit more Bibbness to the sauce.

The exhibit was funded by the William & Mary Confucius Institute. The exhibit is on display from April 12-May 28, 2012.
The following is a transcription of the label text presented here:
Chinese 180
Chinese Calligraphy: Aesthetics and Practice
Professor Liu’s course introduces students to the art and practice of Chinese calligraphy, covering the history, principle and aesthetic values of Chinese characters and calligraphy. For many students, the hands-on practice with brush writing is their first experience writing Chinese characters, as no knowledge of Chinese is required for taking the course. Students in her course had ten hours of classroom instruction before producing the works on display here.

Oarweed and salted scallop roe with shaved walnuts.
Notes: The sauce with the raw langoustines underneath the forest of shaved walnuts was much sweeter than I expected. I quickly got used to it. The thinly shaved walnuts had the effect of aged cheese - melting away into a thick creaminess.

Taken on a crisp morning's walk around St Ives Country Park, Bingley, Bradford. I have no idea where it got that name from.
Apparently, the Wildwood Golf Course has been around for many decades. My dad said that he used to play there when he and my mom lived in Saskatoon in the late 1950s. Back then, there were no houses anywhere around. Today it's completely surrounded on all sides.
According to the community association's web site, the neighbourhood of Wildwood - where I live - took its name from the golf course.
