The next few weeks are going to be uber-busy with trips for open days at the Universities my youngest, Phoebe, wants to go to. At last she has made her choice of the course she will be studying, Veterinary Medicine or Vet-Med. She will be completing the M.S.A.A exam to allow aplication to Cambridge but our first visit was to Glasgow University, a great day. In a couple of weeks time a trip to York, Bristol and Cambridge, then during the summer break The Royal London School of Veterniary Medicine, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Nottigham. Competition is tough but I strongly believe with Phoebes academic attainments and experiences with animal management she will be well placed to move forward as a Vet, can't wait as I will be accompanying her with all her visits. But we have already learnt a lesson, don't try and do a University visit in one day, up at 01.30am in the morning to fly up to Glasgow and returned at 02.00am this morning from Gatwick.......goodnight!
This was the other costume I wanted to do for the Halloween shoot. Yeah, yeah played out but it was one of my bucket list items to do. We first tried the blonde look to see how that work followed by the black china cut wig (as previously photographed).
A lot of fun for this outfit shoot. Might do another rendition in the near future 💅 💄

Listing Date
6 May 1970
History
Of at least C18 origin, evidence for which is the external stack and comparatively low proportions of the ground and first floors, but the character of the present building is C19, during which time it was probably heightened.
Exterior
A tall 3-storey 3-window public house of whitened pebble-dashed walls, with smooth-rendered black-painted plinth and architraves, under a slate roof on boarded overhanging eaves. An external stack is on the R side wall, while brick stacks are to the rear and L side abutting the town wall. Details are late C19, characteristic of public houses of the period. The gable-end front has a central panel door in a doorcase with pediment. Windows are horned sashes. The entrance is flanked by 2-pane windows incorporating etched glass. The 1st floor has a central 4-pane window flanked by narrower 2-pane windows, and the 2nd floor has shorter 2-pane windows to the R and L. A 1-storey extension on the L side is under a lean-to roof against the tower of Porth Isaf (part of the medieval town wall and listed separately), and has a 2-pane window.
In the R side wall the external stack is set back from the front gable end and has a later brick shaft. To its R is a 3-storey flat-roof projection.
The rear, where the ground level is higher, has a replacement 1st-floor window on the R side, 12-pane horned sash window above and inserted window on the L side of the 2nd floor. Inside the roofless and open shell of the tower of Porth Isaf is a 1½-storey lean-to with modern 3-light window.
Interior
The entrance vestibule has a half-glazed door with etched glass of the late C19. The main interior has been modernised.
Reasons for Listing
Listed for its special architectural interest as a commercial building retaining definite C19 character, with earlier origins that make it the earliest surviving quayside building in the town.

So heres the full list, showing every fig, ranging from the comics to the shows.
My favourites:
5) Norman Osborn: While we've gotten SEVERAL goblins during lego's history, we never gotten norman once, other then that weird spider lab set that was built with spare parts, and looked NOTHING like norman. His new hair peice really does add to his charecter alot, and i feel like lego can pull it off
4) Mysterio: While lego has already done this for their FFH sets, it's a disapointing fig thats based of closely rejected concept art, and the choice of a gunmetal head instead of a glow in the dark was RIDICULOUS! Plus i am waiting to see someone use that wyldestyle scarf peice for a custom mysterio
3) Rhino/Electro: Both's printings range from just torso to their legs. No special arm prints. i'm tired of getting both rhino and electro figs based of the movies. Either give us a big fig rhino, or a minifig electro, or don't give us them at all
2) J.J Jameson: The suprior spiderman villian, by all accounts, a perfect representation of ANY adaptation of the charecter. A bit of J.K Simmons, a bit of the comics, a sprinkle of that dude from the old spice comercial.
1) Man-Spider: The most underated spiderman villian, and while lego has done 4 arms, i am counting on them to do 6, and like i said in that post, it can also lead to a 6 arm spiderman.
Here's also a list of Figs lego can do, without the new molds
Morbius - TombStone - Shocker - Sandman - Hydro Man
tell me what you've all thought on this series, i would love to hear your full feedback, knowing this is all finished
now if you excuse me, theres a certain silver car i need to edit ;) www.flickr.com/photos/alex_thelegofan/
A few weeks ago I visited Malmesbury and it's a delightful place crammed with plenty of old buildings, but surprisingly few tourists.
Its centerpiece is the old abbey, which escaped total destruction at the hands of King Henry VIII and became a regular church.

The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

I'm now revisiting a few videos I made en femme not that long ago. This video snapshot is from May 2, 2019. When I previously posted pics for flickr from 2018-19 activity, I often only included here one or just a few snapshots per video taken. But more recently I've gotten into the practice of capturing more worthy video snapshots from individual videos of mine, so I'm doing a *retrospective* series now highlighting some such newly-captured snapshots, of course linking to the original video posted on YouTube.
As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* a "sugarplum" purple long layered-cut wig, from Forever 21;
* super-sexy Jessica Simpson fuchsia-magenta faux-suede strappy 4.5"-stiletto-heel dress sandals;
* a Thalia Sodi "plum combo" fuchsia-floral-print scuba pencil skirt, from Macy's;
* a B.Wear magenta scoopneck chiffon banded-trim 3/4-sleeves top;
* magenta wide-net fishnet stockings, from WeLoveColors.com, on top of nude ultra-sheer pantyhose;
* a fuchsia/black 2"-wide waist belt, from BeltIsCool.com;
* a magenta-purple handbag;
* a purple floral-print neck scarf;
* a fuchsia/pink necklace;
* fuchsia/pink/purple/gold bracelets; and
* rose gold rings & gold earrings.
This particular pic is a snapshot from a video taken in a ladies changing room at my local Macy's, where I like to utilize their extra mirrors to some effect. The full video (2019-05-02-video2) is posted on my YouTube channel at youtu.be/u5T8JazeSzc. Please check it out and comment/fave here (and/or there) if you like what you see.

Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.
