And then decided that it was more fun playing on the slide (with the wood chips) than it was sliding down and falling on her butt.
Newchurch is in the middle of a very narrow lane, which barely widens in the village, and so parking here is problematic. I managed to get a pace on the road, though I do think there is a small car park beside the church, but driving along the pavement didn't seem right to me.
All Saints sits on the edge of a cliff, and the road out of the village falls away beside it, making it a very dramatic location.
The tower, half clapboard and half soft sandy-coloured stone looks in poor repair. The clapboard, anyway. And entrance to the church is through the tower with the bellringing ropes hanging overhead.
Inside, it is a well kept church, some nice 19th century glass, a rose window in the west wall, but too high for me to get a good shot. The lectern is a fine golden Pelican in her Piety, one of the best I have seen, and hanging in the rood loft stairs, now leading nowhere, is a fine brass lamp.
As I left just before four, the church was locked, and my crawling for the day was done, so I repaired to the Pointer Inn next door for a fine pint of Hophead.

The church celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1987 and is a fine example of a Norman Church with some remaining evidence of its pre-Norman origins.
It is one of only three English churches with an ancient sanctuary door still in place (Durham and Westminster are the other two). Over the South door there is the crest of William III (of Orange) dated 1700 with the face of the Lion Rampant being an image of King Willliam.
The Dillington Mortuary Chapel has a number tombs whose covering slabs have unusually well preserved and finely engraved crests and lettering
The following is extracted from the Quinquennial Report published in October 2011 by the Church Architect, Mr Ian G Smith.
Standing prominently at the north end of Newchurch village, All Saints Church is visible from many points in the central belt of the Island; being cruciform in plan, with a south porch and tower it dominates the Arreton Valley.
One of six Churches given by William FitzOsbern to Lyra Abbey in Normandy, it was given to the See of Bristol by Henry VIII; All Saints has throughout its life had many additions, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries; the Victorian restoration of 1883, by AR Barker, remodelled part of the interior.
The original Church is still quite easily identifiable in the Nave, North and South Aisles, the crossing and the north wall of the Chancel, with the later extensions of the South Transept and the Chancel evident in the treatment of the windows which are wider and of three light style.
Constructed of random stone under a steeply pitched and tiled roof, the modest exterior is off set by the surprisingly grand interior; with a soaring timber-clad Nave roof, and massive stone columns with octagonal piers; with double chamfered arches progressing to the crossing and the Chancel.
The square tower over the stone rendered South Porch, being of timber weather-boarding (around 1800) is unusual on the Island, housing the six bell peal, four of which were founded in 1810, the other two are of 16th and 17th century vintage.
Major benefactors of the Church were the Dillington family who have laid 8 vaults in the north transept and also in the south transept; and of historical interest within the Church are the oak pulpit of 1725, the oak door from the Porch, the Pelican Lectern (l7thC), the wall tablets, the stained glass east window by Kempe (1909), the Creed and Commandments boards in cusped Gothic frames on the west wall; and the panel over the south door with the royal arms of William III, and dated 1700.

High Street (East side) -Dillington Sundial in All Saints Churchyard — listed Grade II
Ref: SZS8NE
1352-0/1/145
Sundial, 1678 by Robert Marks of London, Baluster shaped stone base to sundial, about 1.000mm in height on plinth of three square stone steps. The sundial is missing, the sundial originally stood on the bowling green at Knighton Gorges, but following the demolition of the great house, Squire Bisset gave it to the parish in 1826, when it was erected in the Churchyard, historical interest as one of the early relics of Knighton Gorges.
The churches of Canterbury have proved to be problematic for me. Apart from the Cathedral, which although open charges to enter, most of the others I have found always locked.
That we do not travel into Canterbury very often, due to the dreadful traffic, means that I take the chance when around to check on a church as we pass, which will be locked.
So, it was a surprise after leaving the hifi store, and wandering down Church Street, to see a sandwich board outside St Paul's, was this my lucky day?
In more ways that one! As I met the head of Kent Mother's Union who were having a fair inside the church, and after some chatting, and me explaining how hard it can be to get into some churches, I was given the number of her PA and just pone when you want to get in a church!
With the fair, I did not get all the details of the church, but enough to see this is a fine church, some great tile work around the altar. One to return to, at some point when I can get in......
------------------------------------------------------
Why ‘St. Paul’s without the Walls’? The word ‘without’ once meant ‘outside’. This Church was built ‘without’ (outside) the city walls now just across the ring road. We refer to it here also as just ‘St. Paul’s’.
The origins of St. Paul's Church and the reason for its existence lie in the proximity of the ruins of the Abbey (now called St. Augustine’s). It is believed that it was built as a chapel by the abbey for local people and overseen by them as a place of worship and instruction.
In 1300 however there was a controversy between the Abbey and the Archbishop in regard to the right to present a priest to the ‘living’ (install a priest paid to minister here).
The Archbishop seems to have won. Parishioners had the right to be buried in the Abbey cemetery and in 1591 a burial area was created in Longport (now closed and since 1951 an open space at the bottom of St. Martin’s Hill).
Sometime in the last quarter of the 13th century the Church was enlarged eastwards creating the space now occupied by our organ ( built in 1901).
In the organ space and sadly no longer visible there is another piscina and a three tiered seat or sedilia for the priest and deacons.
A further extension took place around 1320 southwards creating a second larger aisle and a great east window. The south wall was pulled down to be replaced by purbeck marble pillars and a further wall.
Dissolution of the Monasteries c1540 had a serious economic effect on the City of Canterbury. The destruction of Thomas Becket’s tomb meant no more pilgrims and a great loss of income. In 1570 a Visitation (inspection by senior clergy) recorded that there were 90 houses in this Parish and 243 communicants. In 1681 St. Paul's was united with the ancient church of St. Martin.
The worshippers at St. Martin’s were ordered to view St. Paul’s as ‘their proper church’ (fortunately they seem to have stayed at St. Martins!) (Both parishes continued side by side until the 1970s when the Parish of St.
Martin & St. Paul was formed with one Parochial Church Council). By the early 19th Century St. Paul’s was described as ‘a small, mean building’ and in poor repair. All that would change with the advent of William Chesshyre!
The print of St. Paul's in 1828 shows a rather shabby building in a busy street. In 1842 William John Chesshyre arrived as Parish Priest. He was a wealthy man who resided in his mother’s house at Barton Court (now Barton Court Grammar School on St. Martin’s Hill/Longport).
Chesshyre died in his fifties in 1859 but in his seventeen years in the Parish he oversaw a dramatic extension and refurbishment of St. Paul's under George Gilbert Scott as well as the founding of St. Paul's School (closed and demolished in the 1960s).
The tower was substantially rebuilt and a third aisle built southwards creating the space we enjoy today. An elaborate altarpiece was created in the sanctuary with the choir seated in the traditional chancel under a decorated ceiling. A new font replaced the ancient one now stored in the Church cellar in three pieces. Whatever nave seating existed was replaced by pews provided under a national church scheme to help clergy pew their churches.
n 1985 Canon Reg Humphriss oversaw a reordering (programme of interior changes) project that brought the altar forward, removed the altarpiece and moved the choir to the north aisle. The font was also moved from its traditional place at the back of the Church to its present position. This opening up of space reflected changes in worship patterns but it meant the loss of the chapel and the positioning of the choir rather close to the very powerful organ. In 2012-2013 a further reordering took place.
The key element of this was the replacement of the fixed pews with modern seating allowing creative use of space and the restoration of the chapel. New choir stalls enabled the choir to be positioned further from the organ. In line with current developments new technology has been installed including a screen that descends electronically from the tie beam over the chancel. The chancel itself was levelled and extended and recarpeted and new digital lighting installed. We are now able to offer traditional and innovative worship and welcome people to use the church for concerts and conferences using also the Parish Centre built in 2005.
Doc Kauffman’s motorized wiggle stick-Vibrola guitar suffered two very problematic issues. The first, it was quite heavy and uncomfortable to hold because of its small size. In fact, it was near impossible to hold in a comfortable playing position. The solution was to mount it atop a post that fastened to the top of the amplifier, though very few exhibit remnants of the mounting bracket. The second and surely the most annoying was that once the motor was engaged and the almost magical vibrato effect began, the player was stuck using it. When the motor was disengaged the unit rarely if ever returned to its original tuning position, rendering it useless until retuned.
I think I've named my Sleeping Karsh, finally. And on a whim I plunked Mackenzie's first wig on her head and kinda fell in love.
I love the Monique double red wigs. I had to have the Paige wig in it. But Shushu heads, the intended recipient, are on the smaller end of 7ish inches round so I find that 7-8" wigs eat her head. And while it looks amazing on my DES, but then what doesn't, I really don't want it for her. This seems the perfect solution.
Of course now I need to redo her face up because her problematic eyebrows aren't hidden.
When stitching panoramas, large, blank walls are problematical - the software can't generate control points. In the past I've used post-it notes (stick 'em on the wall) - but some walls are too big, out of reach, or I can't put a post-it note there. So I decided to make this. I looked online first, and they sell for $70 on up!
This costs under $15. I made it from stuff I had on-hand, so out of pocket was $0.
Parts:
Clamp from hardware store - $1.00.
Plastic clip - $1.50 for six (used to affix cables to flat surface - should be 3/4" or so - they are adjustable)
Mini rotating head - $8.00 (It's off a mini-tripod - any will work)
Epoxy glue $2.00
Take the head of the tripod - make sure it attaches with a screw – it can’t be a cheap clip on.
Drill a hole in one side of the clamp to fit the screw - I needed a couple of washers to snug it.
Where the camera mounts to the tripod head, remove any padding (rubber or cork) and cut off the exposed camera-mounting threads (I used a Dremil). This gives you a shallow cup. Next take the plastic clip and trim the base to fit in the cup. Remove any glue or adhesive tape from the clip first.
Attach the head to the clamp. Clamp it to something so the cup is up. That, or grow a third hand.
Dry fit the clip into the cup. Side cutters work since it’s plastic. Once it's snug, remove.
Mix some Epoxy and fill the cup about 1/2 fill. Press the clip into the Epoxy – smash it in there - and fill in any gaps (I used a small popsicle / mixing stick), and form a lip of Epoxy on the clip. You can’t use too much. Just don’t get sloppy or it looks bad.
Takes about 15 minutes to make. OK, so how do you turn on the laser? Slide the pointer until the push-button is under the clip - that presses it down and on.
The photo with the green background shows it on.

Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō tawā?) is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 333 meters (1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. FootTown, a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at 150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 meters (820 ft).
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011.

Utopian Bodies at @Liljevalchs was fascinating and problematic, straddling the same space between contemporary art and named commerce as fashion itself. Fascinating pieces in a showy environment that premieres immersion over reflection, it shows the best of fashion (and does it well) without questioning it's dark sides, and I've rarely seen an exhibition where the sponsorship was so naked. Interesting, nonetheless, especially seeing some of those fascinating works up close. #utopianbodies, via Instagram ift.tt/1UH11Yd
The long series of films, videos, engaged interventions in public space, performances, and object installations provide a consistent testimony to the power of the themes reflected. For many years, Vladimír Turner has persistently pointed out problematic, and often strongly cautionary, moments of Anthropocene civilisation in various places around the world. The enchanted mechanism of consumption-production, the deceitfulness of marketing strategies, the extraction of non-renewable resources, the brutal devastation of the landscape, mass tourism, the misconception of the possibility of shackling the organism of a big city to a structure of order, gentrification, homelessness, inhumane methods of political systems. In fact, the theme of the essence of pure humanity, personal and social responsibility towards the landscape, nature, and a sustainable way of life based on local self-sufficiency is recalled again and again. He points out the themes through matter-of-factly simple acts. This makes the awareness of the necessity of individual engagement all the more intense. Although his conceptual works have an activist character, often dealing with the subversion of paradox, the expressive power of the pure artistry cannot be ignored. Through his installation for the Veleslavín station, Vladimír Turner verbalises the sculptural situation with the themes of sustainable mobility, fossil fuels, international trade, the relationship of motoring vs. train transport, and exodus and nomadism as consequences of climate change. He chooses the form of a specifically modified Volvo car, with an appeal to the constant presence of the potential of a natural human resource. The ideas of the installation are directly related to the genesis of the artist’s intended film, in which he finds himself in the role of an aborigine, the last survivor on planet Earth, who begins to build everything necessary to live from the garbage all around him. “System Change! Not Climate Change!”

On Tuesday 15 July 2025, officers and partners across the City of Manchester came together to patrol the city’s most problematic areas in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).
As part of the recently launched Home Office Safe4Summer initiative, which seeks to identify hotspot areas for ASB and tackle them with high-visibility and problem-solving policing, GMP officers and partners from Manchester City Council took to Piccadilly Gardens.
The newly formed Piccadilly Gardens Team, made up of eight police constables and Sergeant Jon Wyatt, was formed to front a multi-agency response designed to tackle ASB, and make Piccadilly Gardens hostile to criminality and a safer space for people to live, work and socialise.
During their patrol, specialist officers acted on intelligence and within minutes, uncovered two concealed bladed articles from the area. Police dog Kylo, was also on hand, aiding officers in the search for drugs and weapons.
A total of eight arrests were made within the gardens over the course of the day, for a range of offences including immigration offences, public order, robbery, and breach of Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). Partners including Manchester City Council, CityCo, TfGM and Travelsafe joined GMP officers and staff on the ground alongside councillors Joan Davies and Pat Karney.
Councillor Garry Bridges, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "As a council we work hard to ensure a positive experience for residents, visitors and businesses in Piccadilly Gardens, which is a much used and important gateway at the heart of the city centre.
“Together with our Neighbourhood Team, Licensing and Out of Hours Team, Anti-Social Behaviour Action Team and Cleansing Team we joined our colleagues at GMP to engage with businesses, residents and visitors in Piccadilly Gardens.
“We're really pleased to support these partnership action days with GMP, which demonstrate our joint commitment to making Piccadilly Gardens a safe and welcoming public space."
Chief Inspector Michael Tachauer co-ordinated the operation, deploying specialist officers to conduct sweeps with multiple weapons found hidden on roofs and in planters.
Chief Inspector Tachauer said: “Maintaining a good relationship with local businesses and our partners is key, as they are our eyes and ears on a daily basis. We meet and discuss issues once a week, seeking to problem-solve and focus on where we can make the biggest difference across the city.
“This day of action is just one example of the ongoing work our officers are carrying out every day, as part of our commitment to make Piccadilly Gardens a safer place for everyone who lives, works or visits the area”.

I got this problematic Italeri F-18 from my modeling friend Jon for a couple of bucks. It was started, had masking tape residue on it and was a troublesome molding. The canopy was especially hard to get to sit right, and I made a hairline crack in it filing it down. The decals silvered a bit too, tho I do like the Swiss markings. Heck, I really enjoy building F-18s.

Today was a problematic day for me, having gone out to Killingholme, don't think I could have picked a worse day! The main problem was 60054 derailing as it came off the Santon branch and onto the mainline east of Scunthorpe in the early hours, which put paid to most freight.
There were also problems at Kingsbury Oil Terminal, which I suppose added an extra train to my low amount of sightings, as 6M57 Lindsey to Kingsbury was turned back at Lincoln.
