This is the group I lead in preaching the mountain territories here in Compostela, Cebu Philippines.
We fill the road, no vehicle could pass.

bah c'est pas votre fête non plus, c'est la sainte juliette aujourd'hui :)
Another day without work, but filled with orchids instead.
I had been contacted by another farmer asking if I would like to visit his farm and look at the Southern Marsh Orchids he had growing.
I said I would, so I arranged to be there at ten, my friend, Ian and his wife and extended family were also coming.
Of course we had to go shopping first, though just five days provisions needed as we are off on our holibobs before next weekend, but enough to make it a two person forage.
We went round, getting the important stff, like coffee and milk, before paying and driving home. But there was just enough time to put the shopping away before we had to go out again, as Jools had a hair cut. I would drop her off and go to the farm, but there was enough time for me to stop off in town for breakfast.
I parked behind the church, and what used to be the town's Co-Op is now gone, just an expanse of concrete, though clearer views of the Castle behind.
I walk to Chaplins, there's only one other table taken. I could have had a small breakfast or just a sausage butty, but my mouth asked for a large breakfast with extra hash browns, which was a lot, but I can tell you did hit the spot, and as it turned out, kept me going until nearly three in the afternoon when I got home.
I paid and left, driving to the A20, then up towards Folkestone. On the other carriageway, traffic was sold from Ayclife all the way back onto the motorway where the road was closed at Junction 13, and all traffic was being sent through Folkestone. Liverpool fans in their red shirts sat in their cars, going nowhere for a while.
I hope they reached Paris by kick off time.
I cruised towards Hythe, turning off and finding myself half an hour early, parked up to wait and watch the world go by, which for the most part was a flock of newly shorn sheep in a field of buttercups.
At least they're cooler I thought.
I drove to the farm, or where the sat nav said the farm should be. It had no sign outside of it, so I settled down to wait, hoping that Alastair would come down at then as promised. Ian and hs family were stuck in traffic the otherside of Maidstone, so would be a while.
Alastair came out, so I got out to shake his hand, and after deciding not to wait for Ian, his dauhter would, we wandered off as he explained the regime at the farm, and how the orchids arriving was a by-product. I was expecting some orchids, but how many is that? What I saw were orchids everywhere, except in the fields were crops had been shown, but also round the margins.
As soil type changed, orchids thinned out, but only to return in greater numbers the other side of the wood we walked through.
Ian and family had arrived, and joined us where I was inspecting what were clearly hybrids of CSO and SMO, but some had spotted leaves, most hadn't. Sometimes its best just to say they're fine looking orchids and enjoy the sight rather than put each spike into a tight definition box.
The orchids were mostly in fields and meadows with buttercups, making a truly wonderful sight, the yellow complementing the purple of the orchids perfectly. I took lots of pictures.
A fresh Small Tortoiseshell flittered across the meadow, so the farmer's daughter and I chased with our cameras. I get a nice shot, even if the open wings are not flat on to the camera.
Alastair also has two ponds, for fish, but are a haven for dragonflies, and no one has surveyed it before. I take shots of what I think is a Four-spotted chaser and a Common blue damselfly, other species perhaps were not so cooperative.
We walked on, back to the farm, where it was suggested we go to the pub.
A fine idea.
A short drive away was The Black Horse, where Jools and I have dined out at before, but we were just here for drinks. I had a fine bottle of porter sitting out on the sundeck with the others.
Time was getting away, so I took my leave after saying many thank-yous, programmed the sat nav for home, and that's when every route came up with traffic delay warnings. There was a choice, to head across country to Stone Street, through Bridge, then to Barfrestone, Waldershare and the Langdons to home. It would take time, but quicker than sitting in traffic.
Anyway, it was a nice day for a drive in the country, and there wasn't much traffic, Norwich had finished their season, so none of that to worry about.
I drove on, getting nearer and nearer to home.
And once I was home, I checked the traffic radar and the queues the car warned me off were not there.
So it goes, so it goes.
I make carbonara quickly, it comes together in half an hour or so. I have a couple of glasses of decent red with it, and am all done for the start of the League 2 play off final. Which was pretty good. Port Vale wining 2-0.
That gave me what should have been two hours before the Champion's League Final to write, edit photos and make supper before kick off, but there were issues outside the ground and the start delayed.
It kicked off after half eight, the ground still not full, and was compelling viewing. Real won 1-0, depsite Liverpool dominating, without doing enough. It all ended at half ten, by which time Jools had gone to bed and I was on the sloe port.
Cheers.

December 2011 Monthly Scavenger Hunt Entry - "Fill the Frame"
Fill your heart with love today
Don't play the game of time
Things that happened in the past
Only happened in your mind
Only in your mind
Oh, forget your mind
And you'll be free, yeah
The writing's on the wall
Free, yeah
And you can know it all if you choose
Just remember, lovers never lose
'Cause they are free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind and makes it free
A cranberry muffin with berry filling and crunchy maple topping.

I again bit the bullet and filled in the rest of the brickwork with some shading to give it an even tone.
The maple tree (left) is giving me fits. It's soooo thick with foliage! I worked a bit with the #00 (the rest of the drawing is #000) to delineate the right-hand side of the masses of maple foliage to try to separate it from the house. I went carefully, because I don't want to overdo it.
After fighting the maple for a while, I darkened the tones of the landscaping foliage and tightened up bits of house here and there.
I haven't done a good job of time tracking on this project, but I'd estimate that I've spent about six hours on it so far, and have two or more still to go.
I need to figure out how to resolve the tops of the trees, and accomplish that. (I'm toying with bringing the two trees together in the top middle, with only a contour). I also need to find a way to render trees in the distance behind the roofline. This will make the roof pop out, in relief.
A couple of important techniques I've used in analyzing/evaluating my work as it progresses:
1. Set the drawing up on a mantle or chair and stand/sit well back from it. See how it all fits together, and how the values are coming along.
2. Look at the drawing in a mirror. This changes your perception enough that you see the work with new eyes. You may be pleasantly surprised to find it looks better than you thought. You will probably also notice some things that need improving. For me, it was that the roofline and peak of the house, on the left, needed to be strengthened, so I have addressed that here.
Blistering melting pot filled with bronze into a makeshift home made furnice. Furnice was build by ourself from bricks and covered with brickearth.
The heating was done to charcoal and alternate ventilated by an vacuum cleaner.
Our aim: creation of an archeological artefakt of the bronze age. We want to casting an bronze disk used as a blank which we've had processed to an astronomical instrument.
Necessary temperature was 1700 grad Celcius which equivalent to 3092 Fahrenheit.
Blick in einen selbstgebauten Schmelzofen mit einem vorgeglühten Schmelztiegel, in den gerade Bronze gefüllt wird.
Ziel war die Herstellung und der Bronzeguss einer Scheibe, die als Rohling weiterverarbeitet wurde zu einem archäologischen Artefakt aus der Bronzezeit.
Erforderliche Temperatur zur Schmelzung der Bronze: 1700 Grad Celsius.
Der Ofen wurde alternativ mit dem Motor eines alten Staubsaugers belüftet und ist aus ZIegeln erstellt und mit Lehm verkleidet.
A girls weekend filled with Top Model re-runs, pjamas and The September Issue. We finally got dressed to go and get some dinner. And of course take some photos around the lake. We got some strange looks from runners and people out with their dogs. And even heard a phone break up convo.
Fill tube in position. The bottom part of the fill tube should be cut at an angle--so the tip sits on the bottom and water can flow freely into the reservoir.
Après les deux défaites inaugurales, on pensait que les Diablesses avaient trouvé leur rythme de croisière en passant deux fois quatre buts à Saint-Maur et à Arras. Raté ! En déplacement à Angers, les filles de Fabrice Garin sont retombées dans leur travers (1 - 0). Et pourtant, Angers c’était 4 matchs pour 4 défaites et 20 buts encaissés…
Une défaite qui passe mal, très mal du côté de Marville et les
Diablesses (7e - 6 points) sont sous pression avant de recevoir
Saint-Denis (11e - 3 points). Les trois points sont primordiaux !
■ PRATIQUE.
US Saint-Malo - Saint-Denis RC. Dimanche à 15 h au stade de Marville.
Les Diablesses retrouve le chemin de la victoire !
Dimanche, les Diablesses ont du faire preuve de ténacité pour venir à bout du RC St Denis et glaner ainsi leur 3ème victoire de la saison. Face à une formation en besoin de points et qui avait décidé d'imposer le défi physique, les Diablesses ont répondu par leur technicité. Parvenues à la pause avec un avantage logique de deux buts, les joueuses de F Garin ont du s'employer pour conserver leur avantage face à des Franciliennes revenues avec de meilleures intentions en seconde période.
F; Garin : "Même si la seconde période fut moins maitrisée, je suis satisfait de leur réponse au défi physique qui leur a été proposé. On repart sur une dynamique positive."
US Saint-Malo - RC Saint-Denis : 3-2
Buts pour l'US St Malo : Goutard (23'), Ngock Yango (45'), Fikri (81')
Buts pour le RC St Denis : Traoré (64'), Khezami (88')
Les résultats :
Arras - Angers 4-1
Reims - Rennes 8-1
Issy - Le Havre 1-1
Saint-Maur - Orléans 1-1
Brest Stade - La Roche-sur-Yon 0-0
Elle fait partie des nouvelles têtes des Diablesses de Saint Malo, la gardienne Louise Thiery
transférée du FC Lorient
nous parle de son arrivée
dans la cité corsaire, de la concurrence et des ambitions de l’équipe.
Raconte-nous ton arrivée
et ton intégration au sein
de l’équipe ?
Je suis arrivée à Saint-Malo
début août quelques jours après
la reprise du groupe du fait de
ma sélection en Équipe de France pour le championnat d’Europe.
C’est tout nouveau pour moi,
c’est mon premier changement
de club car j’ai démarré le foot
ball à Lorient. Mon intégration
s’est très bien passée, je connaissais déjà quelques filles, mais le groupe m’a permis d’être à l’aise dès les premiers jours et cela m’a beaucoup aidé.
Alicia Simon a joué le premier match et tu as démarré les six autres, Mélanie Fouchard fait également partie du groupe. Comment se passe la concur-
rence, la hiérarchie, entre
vous trois ?
Nous sommes trois gardiennes avec Alicia et Mélanie pour la place de titulaire. Il y a de la concurrence oui, il en faut au plus haut niveau. Mais entre nous, cette concurrence est saine. Nous sommes trois profils différents, on en apprend tous les jours. Nous progressons aussi grâce aux spécifiques de Simon
[Lugier, le gardien de l’équipe
masculine - Ndlr].
Une hiérarchie, je n’aime pas
trop ce mot, mais oui on peut
dire ça. Je suis venue à Saint-
Malo pour continuer à avoir du
temps de jeu, ce qui est le cas.
Mais je sais que Mélanie et Alicia sont là aussi et si je veux garder cette place de titulaire, je dois travailler pendant les entraînements. Ce sont deux très bonnes gardiennes. Ma place n’est pas acquise, je dois prouver au coach que je suis prête et que je veux jouer.
Après un début de cham
pionnat difficile, Saint Malo s’est bien ressaisi.
L’équipe est elle à son meil
leur niveau ? Quelle place
peut envisager l’équipe à
la fin de l’année ? Qu’ambitionne également Louise Thiery à titre personnel ?
Nous sommes sur une bonne
dynamique avec ces deux vic-
toires contre Saint-Denis et
Bréquigny mais je ne pense
pas qu’on soit à notre meilleur
niveau. On a un groupe de qua-
lité, on peut faire encore mieux.
Nous reprenons confiance mais
celle-ci reviendra grâce à des
victoires et c’est par le travail
qu’on y parviendra. On a pour
objectif le podium mais il faut
s’en donner les moyens, four-
nir des efforts en travaillant à
l’entraînement et cela paiera en
championnat.
Personnellement, j’espère
faire de bonnes performances
avec Saint-Malo, aider l’équipe
à continuer d’aller de l’avant.
Mais aussi retrouver l’équipe de
France et la sélection U19 le plus rapidement possible.
