No. 2 - 5: Exploring Canterbury.
Canterbury Cathedral
Memorial to Dean John Boys, d.1625
Seated in his study, Dean John Boys (d.1625), one of the best-read men of his time, pauses in meditation; it is in the Chapel of Our Lady Martyrdom. The marble backdrop to this superb Jacobean monument is made up of books, their spines turned inwards according to contemporary custom.
Guidebook
John Boys (1571-1625) was Dean of Canterbury from 1619 to 1625.
Life
He was descended from an old Kentish family who boasted that their ancestor came into England with William the Conqueror, and who at the beginning of the seventeenth century had no less than eight branches, each with its capital mansion, in the county of Kent. The dean was the son of Thomas Boys of Eythorn, by Christian, daughter and coheiress of John Searles of Wye. He was born at Eythorn in 1571, and probably was educated at the King's School, Canterbury, for in 1586 he entered Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where Archbishop Matthew Parker had founded some scholarships appropriated to scholars of that school. He took his M.A. degree in the usual course, but migrated to Clare Hall in 1593, apparently on his failing to succeed to a Kentish fellowship vacated by the resignation of Mr. Coldwell, and which was filled up by the election of Dr. Willan, a Norfolk man.
Boys was forthwith chosen fellow of Clare Hall. His first preferment was the small rectory of Betteshanger in his native county, which he tells us was procured for him by his uncle Sir John Boys of Canterbury, whom he calls 'my best patron in Cambridge.' He appears to have resided upon this benefice and to have at once begun to cultivate the art of preaching. Archbishop Whitgift gave him the mastership of the Eastbridge Hospital in Canterbury, and soon afterwards the vicarage of Tilmanstone, but the aggregate value of these preferments was quite inconsiderable, and when he married Angela Bargrave of Bridge, near Canterbury, in 1599, he must have had other means of subsistence than his clerical income.
The dearth of competent preachers to supply the London pulpits appears to have been severely felt about this time, and in January 1593 Whitgift had written to the vice-chancellor and heads of the university of Cambridge complaining of the refusal of the Cambridge divines to take their part in this duty. The same year that the primate appointed Boys to Tilmanstone we find him preaching at St. Paul's Cross, though he was then only twenty-seven years of age. Two years after he was called upon to preach at the Cross again, and it was actually while he was in the pulpit that Robert, earl of Essex, made his mad attempt at rebellion (8 Feb. 1600-1).
Next year we find him preaching at St. Mary's, Cambridge, possibly while keeping his acts for the B.D. degree, for he proceeded D.D. in the ordinary course in 1605; the Latin sermon he then delivered is among his printed works. Whitgift's death (February 1604) made little alteration in his circumstances; Archbishop Bancroft soon took him into his favour, and he preached at Ashford, on the occasion of the primate holding his primary visitation there on 11 Sept. 1607. Two years after this Boys published his first work, The Minister's Invitatorie, being An Exposition of all the Principall Scriptures used in our English Liturgie: together with a reason why the Church did chuse the same.
The work was dedicated to Bancroft, who had lately been made chancellor of the university of Oxford, and in the 'dedicatorie epistle' Boys speaks of his 'larger exposition of the Gospels and Epistles' as shortly about to appear. It appeared accordingly next year in 4to, under the title of An Exposition of the Dominical Epistles and Gospels used in our English Liturgie throughout the whole yeere, and was dedicated to his 'very dear uncle,' Sir John Boys of Canterbury. In his dedication Boys takes the opportunity of mentioning his obligations to Sir John and to Archbishop Whitgift for having watered what 'that vertuous and worthy knight' had planted.
The work supplied a great need and had a very large and rapid sale; new editions followed one. another in quick succession, and it would be a difficult task to draw up an exhaustive bibliographical account of Boys's publications. Archbishop Bancroft died in November 1610, and Abbot was promoted to the primacy in the spring of 1611. Boys dedicated to him his next work, An Exposition of the Festival Epistles and Gospels used in our English Liturgie, which, like its predecessors, was published in 4to, the first part in 1614, the second in the following year.
Hitherto he had received but scant recognition of his services to the church, but preferment now began to fall upon him liberally. Abbot presented him with the sinecure rectory of Hollingbourne, then with the rectory of Monaghan in 1618, and finally, on the death of Dr Fotherby, he was promoted by the king, James I, to the deanery of Canterbury, and installed on 3 May 1619. Meanwhile in 1616 he had put forth his Exposition of the proper Psalms used in our English Liturgie, and dedicated it to Sir Thomas Wotton, son and heir of Edward, lord Wotton of Marleigh. In 1620 he was made a member of the high commission court, and in 1622 he collected his works into a folio volume, adding to those previously published five miscellaneous sermons which he calls lectures, and which are by no means good specimens of his method or his style. These were dedicated to Sir Dudley Digges of Chilham Castle, and appear to have been added for no other reason than to give occasion for paying a compliment to a Kentish magnate.
On 12 June 1625 Henrietta Maria landed at Dover. Charles I saw her for the first time on the 13th, and next day the king attended service in Canterbury Cathedral, when Boys preached a sermon, which has been preserved. It is a poor performance, stilted and unreal as such sermons usually were; but it has the merit of being short. Boys held the deanery of Canterbury for little more than six years, and died among his books, suddenly, in September 1625. There is a monument to him in the Lady Chapel of the Cathedral.
He left no children; his widow died during the rebellion.
Works
He quotes widely and from contemporary literature including popular writers of the day.
Francis Bacon's Essays and The Advancement of Learning,
Sandys's Travels,
Owen's, More's, and John Parkhurst's Epigrams,
Piers Plowman, and Richard Verstegan's Restitution,
with Boys's favourite book, Joseph Sylvester's translation of Du Bartas's Divine Weeks all feature.
Boys's works contain proverbs, allusions to the manners and customs of the time, curious words and expressions.
His works were translated into German and published at Strasburg in 1683, and again in two volume in 1685.
The Works of John Boys were reprinted in English in 1997 by Soli Deo Gloria Publications taken from the 1854 edition published by Stanford and Swords, New York.

For FGR, Project 366, and Sarglamour
OK...I know what you are thinking. "She has WAY too much time on her hands!" Did I mention I hate football? It is Sunday and all of my boys are watching it. So I give you...SarGlamour.
Other than having a lot of extra time to myself today, I have chosen to do this for a few other reasons.
1. I have boys...no girls...I don't get to play dress-up.
2. This is the year the hubby and I will celebrate our 10-year anniversary...and yes...this is my wedding dress...and no...I can't zip it up in the back. After two 8 lb. babies? Are you kidding me?
And
3. After a successful picture yesterday with my "hooker hair" I figured I would try something different with it.
This font is created using small squares aligned similar to cross stitch patterns, which is why I chose to have my explanatory text on cross stitch fabric (see note). When I transferred my type to illustrator for finishing touches and colour I wasn't too concerned with matching my drawn marks because that is the beauty of cross stitch--you might have one or two stitches out but the whole thing comes together. I wanted the craft to come out in my type.

感覺累了就放空自己
別人說得話 隨便聽一聽
自己做決定
不想擁有太多情緒

I am building a project for Christmas. My daughter is very tall, and nothing available to buy is close to useful for her. She was looking at a 2 foot one in a store and I knew I could make something she would get more actual use out of.
The stove door actually opens and shuts, with an 'oven' compartment in it. The undersink cabinet also opens and shuts and is its own compartment. The sinks knobs and spout rotate. This is almost all 'on hand' materials - I had to buy a handle for the stove and a new roll of duct tape. It's not done yet - got to work on the stove next, the knobs and disks are drying from their coat of paint.
So tomorrow's the first day of school for me. Waking up at 5:30 am all over again for everyday for who knows how long will definitely be a project/chore/pain in the ass/dreaded thing for me.
Other than that, I'm ready for school again.
...okay, I lied. I'm not really ready to let go of summer just yet.
I added the wheels with the hubs and I will try to add the whitewalls myself, I don't know who they will turn out. I will dry fit everything to ensure all components go together before the painting process starts.
Today is my first weekend day of the trip. No session in the hyperbaric chamber today. I walked to the farmers' market which I had been told was good. The walk took longer than I expected and I needed to sit down a few times but I am so glad I came. It's a nice spot by a stream, it's not too crowded and there are some interesting stalls. I bought some peaches from this stall. They were the best peaches I have eaten for years.
I also bought a pork pie, a couple of pork chops and some apple juice.

UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.
New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.
The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).
Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.
Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.
"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.
"Project 7 is a single-seater sports car based on the F-TYPE, with the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed.Jaguar sports cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form."
At the end of August, yesterday in fact, I was bemoaning the fact I hadn't really been shooting much this year - there's been some impromptu shots, as well as the generic holiday photos, but not anything 'me', I felt.
So, the plan for September is to have a mini project, most likely not every day but with a view to getting back into the swing of things.
Project SWORD was a TV21 feature built around a very fantastic range of toys as opposed to a TV programme. This Annual featured striking images of the vehicles.
Kirkcaldie & Staines on Lambton Quay in Wellington.
'Kirks', as it is known to the locals, is a Wellington department store and was founded in 1863. It will be closing in January 2016 and the site will be taken over by an Australian company called Davy Jones.
