There were a few telephone boxes that looked like they were part of some art installation, presumably by someone who doesn't like phonecalls.

I received a phonecall from a petstore in desperate need of a photographer for the next day as the guy they hired cancelled at the very last minute... It was a bit unplanned so not everything as I would want it, but still some of the shots are quite nice!

BUSH - YOU MUST SIGN THE END OF WAR
I am 24 years old and I cannot take getting one more phonecall, one more
e-mail, one more horrible message that a friend of mine has been KILLED
while deployed. My cousin is now heading to Iraq as a Marine, and I demand
of you to end the war and begin pulling out American troops, who had no
business going alone in the first place!
I AM TIRED OF THE DEATHS OF AMERICANS, BUSH!!
I AM TIRED OF YOU, BUSH!!!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!
So when I got this, I was looking at it from far away and thought it said "Yea hooters". Though it was still a wrong number, as I don't know anyone named Edwin Howard.
Come on yo! Get on this 12 cent a minute calling deal nowwwwwwww!
You could call Abuela in Guatamala, or yo mutha in Sweden.
You could call anyone in this whole wide world! A station in Antacrtica, a monkey in china, some guy you don't know in Luxemborg.
The possibilities are endless.
Detail of the east window of the south aisle by Hardman's, 1916.
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.

路过递上一支烟，寒暄几句这似乎成了他们间的规矩
A cigarette with some words when meeting has become a regularity between them.
夜里，家里人打电话来说村里的施工队准备将水泥路铺到家门口
One night, a phonecall from family informed that a cement road would be paved to the door.
“笼子的份量多少你自己看看”，他对旁边俩人说道
“See the weight of the coop yourselves.” He said to the two standing by.

When your furnace breaks in the middle of a cold spell or your air conditioner quits at the height of summer, getting the appliance fixed fast will likely be your top concern. Though most HVAC repair companies operate with integrity, there are a few rotten apples in the barrel. Here are a few HVAC scams to look out for and what you can do to avoid being burned.
Phantom Part Replacement
In this scam, the perpetrator convinces the owner that the unit needs to have a part replaced but doesn’t actually install anything. The person is usually able to get away with this because a homeowner typically does not stand over the technician’s shoulder watching while he or she pretends to fix it. Alternatively, the contractor may overcharge for the part or replace parts that don’t need to be fixed.
To combat this problem, always get a second opinion from another top-rated HVAC company. Ask for a written estimate of the costs associated with the repair, and use the Internet to search for the average price for your area and compare it to the quote to ensure you’re being charged fairly. If the technician says he or she has to install a replacement part, ask for the old one to make sure you got what you paid for.
Black Mold Scam
Another scam that homeowners are often hit with is being told they have black mold in their air ducts that must be cleaned out right away. In some cases, the unscrupulous person may even show the homeowner a picture the individual claims he or she took of the inside of the ducts as “proof”. Often the person will engage in high-pressure sales or scare tactics to get the homeowner to agree to pay hundreds of dollars for air duct cleaning.
While it is possible to have mold growing in your air ducts, it’s not a common problem. No matter what the technician says or how aggressive the person is, decline the service and have your ducts tested by a professional mold tester to verify or dispute the individual’s claims.
Impostors
Another growing problem is scammers who pretend to work for reputable HVAC companies in the area. One person recounts his experience of having a scammer obtain a cell phone in the business’s name and pretend to be the company when calls were mistakenly routed to him. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) also recently released an advisory about impostors operating in the northwest who would call unsuspecting consumers pretending to be area businesses.
Use the Internet or other resources such as the BBB to look up a company’s official phone number to avoid mistakenly calling an impostor. Be wary of unsolicited phone calls, especially if you’ve never done business with the company previously.
HVAC technicians must have a license to operate, which a scammer is unlikely to have. Ask for licensing information and either call your state licensing board or visit the state’s verification site to check that the license is valid.
Most HVAC contractors are legitimate businesses who only want to help customers. If you think you’re getting scammed, contact a reputable company like Champion Plumbing and Air for a second opinion.

How cool is that! (or at least it seems)
Got several text msges and emails from Alvin (MCYS) recently reagarding that:
" Hi Jiayu,
We are launching a design competition for *scape for the professional architects to take part this Friday. We would like to invite you as a judge, as the leader of the team that won the "overall best - most attractive to youth" design earlier this year in the NUS - *scape architecture studio competition. (it was a fluke haha..)
The panel comprise 7 members, and will be led by my Director of Youth Division, MCYS. The members have experienced in matters of Urban Design, Architecture, Business operations and Programmes & Activities.
I heard from Wenjun that you are in NZ now for exchange. The judging would be held sometime end-Nov, 1st week of Dec 06. Would you be back by then?....."
That sounded..... exciting! But too bad... I WON'T BE BACK IN TIME FOR IT. (again..) but WJ definitely deserves to be in it =)
And he went on about chao guo tiao and all in a short phonecall earlier on just to confirm with me- oooooh I'm beginning to miss SG though its been only about 3 months.
Quiet a nice surprise I must say.
and although you are looking forward to a quiet night in your son says.....'Mum...are you coming up tonight??'....coming up meaning going on the train to London and travelling across on the underground (about 3 hours journey in all).....'Hmmm, why?' I reply, waiting for the next bit....
'Oh....well it's just that we have forgotten our cd's to sell at the gig tonight..but it's okay if you don't want to come over.'
Mothers lot eh?.....so here I go....what can you do.....I kind of knew it was too good to be true.....lol.....
I worked on the magazine this morning, and needed to check some information with someone called Val. I inadvertently called the wrong Val (adjacent in my phone book, and sausage fingers hit the wrong one). However, it was a very happy accident, as I had a good catch up with Val from Headington, as opposed to Val from Quenington!
After lunch, I did a bit more magazine work, then cycled to Fairford to visit the exhibition at Fairford United Church, celebrating 300 years of the building. It was really good to chat to so many friends from the church, as well as enjoying looking at the exhibits.
As the weather was still good, I took a longer way home and enjoyed being out and about.
