On the balcony of my appartment, I make a phonecall to a broadcasting company to talk about a show in which I'll participate this weekend.
I'm really hating joining TalkTalk 2 and a half years ago. It's now time to switch broadband but I've read some horror stories of the phone calls some people have with them. I'm bracing myself...
By the way, Deborah isn't me. :P
We were just going to bed when we got a phonecall from Katy (who had the pleasure of being in reach of telly and tinternets, which we weren't at the time) saying "Michael Jackson's DEAD!" with great theatrical relish. At the time he'd only been reported dead by the LA Times, and in hopsital with a heart attack everywhere else.
This came in not long after the initial phonecall. Historic.
(Incidentally, when princess Diana died, I got a phonecall from my sister that started exactly the same way, only with "Princess Diana" instead of "Michael Jackson", obviously)

I had the funnest but weirdest dream last night. I was in an airport about to fly with my uncle scott and fred(royal oak high) and a few other people from royal oak high to paris. All we did was check in, and wait for the plane. It wass amusing none the less! :D lol

Same as yesterday practically. without the dream of course.
Woke up somewhat late. didn't have breakfast and I also forgot my lunch... blahhh! I'm glad I took the exact change though! haha xD

At 8 pm, I got a phonecall from my aunt saying that my grandfather wasn't going to make it. 20 minutes later, he kicks the bucket. I wish I knew him better.
Rest In Peace James Stevenson Sen. Rest in pieces Grandpa.
I’m sure this Jesus is just touching his head, but I like to think that the Medieval artist intended to capture him on a phone call, perhaps answering a prayer, or simply making supper plans.
Not looking too bad ... found cowdung on the roof ... maybe it belonged to Eric "on the roof" Carlsson?! Apparently around 200 of these particular models were made, and sold only in Britain. Seller got over 100 phonecalls after mine.
East window by Hardman's, c1905.
Having previously visited a few either very restored or rebuilt churches on my way over here it was refreshing to arrive at Church Broughton and find a complete medieval church, and a rather attractive one too, with its neat little stunted spire poking up above the parapet of its sturdy west tower. The church is a long, low building that was basking rather handsomely in the sun by this time (a contrast to the dull weather I'd had earlier that day) and the churchyard was looking particularly attractive, a chap was mowing part of it some distance off so we exchanged cheerful waves as I approached the door.
St Michael's is a mostly 14th century building but with much evidence of earlier work, particularly inside where some Norman work remains. The interior is light and spacious, stripped back to the bare stone but this at least is pleasantly and lightly hued. One Norman pillar with a distinctive scalloped capital remains at the end of the north arcade and the curious font with its simple carved pattern is also of this period. The fittings are mostly more recent in date and most of the glazing is clear which allows more light to flood in; the only exceptions are the eats windows of the chancel and south aisle, both fairly late works by Hardmans respectively.
This was a very pleasant church to explore and good to find it open and welcoming. Before I left the chap who was mowing outside came in and we had a long chat about the glass as he said they may need to spend some money on it. I did a quick assessment of the windows' stability and advised that there was no urgent need for such expenditure as their stained glass should be sound for some time yet, which is what I'd expect of early 20th century Hardman glass. He asked if I could send some of my photos so we exchanged details accordingly.
About a week later I got a rather terse phonecall demanding to know why I hadn't emailed these photos. The intervening days had been rather traumatic for me, first losing much of the text for the book I was writing and then learning of my father's death which hit me very hard and left me unable to think of much else. I explained this and little else was said, thus I dutifully sent the photos with a covering email but never got an acknowledgement back. A pity as that's what sticks in my mind now when I think of Church Broughton nearly six years later. I hope the photos were of use, but at least if they didn't get them they'll be here for all to see now.

All Saints at Thurcaston is a mainly 14th century building with alterations made in the 15th century, from which period dates most of the fine collection of fragments of medieval glass deposited in the central light of the east window. Some of these ancient elements of glass are more complete, including heads, angels, roundels and a donor figure.
The church consists of a nave, chancel and west tower, along with a north aisle running almost the full length of the building. The interior preserves a more unspoilt, ancient atmosphere as it has not been too heavily affected by later restoration. There is an ancient wooden screen in the north aisle, originally the rood screen and one of the earliest surviving in the country (alas I failed to realise this at the time so do not have detailed shots of it). The nave roof is supported on some amusing medieval carved head corbels.

The church is well worth a visit but sadly kept locked outside of services so a phonecall may be necessary to see inside.
