The title refers to the literal translation of the Dutch word for the subject of this picture: luggage straps on a bicycle, very common in The Netherlands on utility bikes to transport cargo like bags, groceries or beer crates.

... with the Andy Quick Band at a Musicians Against Homelessness event at Exeter Phoenix, Devon, England.
A quick trip into Nottingham gave me the opportunity to see if I could add to my stranger count. It wasn’t long before my eye was caught by a colourful outfit of a young lady walking in the same direction as me, but on the other side of the paved area we were on. It only took a few moments for me to cross over to Sarah and introduce the project to her.
As the sun was out I knew it would cast dark shadows across her eyes from her hat so I suggested we go down a side street that was in the shade, the softer light making it easy to take Sarah’s portrait without having to worry about her eyes disappearing into darkness. A faded red door served as a perfect backdrop.
Sarah told me she was from Nottingham and had just been for a contact lens appointment and was now shopping for some black clothing as she was attending a funeral the day after I photographed her. Sarah said shopping for a black outfit wasn’t her favourite task as she preferred coloured outfits.
Sarah is self-employed, selling ethical clothing and jewellery and if I remember right all the items she is wearing in my picture are examples of her stock. You can find out more here: adorneduk.co.uk/
Sarah told me she is learning to play the drums and mentioned it was an electronic kit. Her preferred taste in music is the rock and alternative scene so it came as no surprise when I asked who her first star crush had been on that she named rock star Kurt Cobain, the singer from Nirvana. She then said she was heartbroken to discover he was already dead by the time she discovered him.
The one thing Sarah can’t live without? Peanut butter.
What advice would Sarah give to her younger-self? Don’t just dive in and get that first tattoo, take time to find an artist whose work you like and get them to do it.
Thank-you Sarah for allowing me to interrupt your day and for saying yes to me photographing you for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.

Leyland ( Scammell) were quick off the mark with a solution to the increase in GCW to 38000kg. This was a "twin-steered" design that owed a lot to the previous Trunker models from Scammell.
Alas! this was soon followed by the "continentals" and beset by political interference sadly Leyland Trucks withered and almost died.......only the factory survives building DAF products for the Paccar organisation.
Since I have so many Sueves, I let the original Helena go as I like how Crysta turned out more. So now Crysta is Helena ^o^ It was hard to let even one of them go though! Sueve and Tuff are such lovely sculpts.

I've had a beastly cold all week, and have been eating mostly soup and other liquid things — I've lost at least a kilo— but I'm starting to get over it and today I wanted something quick, easy, and nourishing.
Sardines on toast popped into my mind, and I did this.
Toast a nice slice of bread of your choice (I used Wholemeal Grain, but any good bread would do — sourdough, any kind of tasty bread), and lay out the sardines of a small tin in olive oil (without the oil) onto it.
Make a sauce of your liking — I used a tsp of Dijon mustard, a tsp of mayo, a finely diced thumb-sized piece of dill pickle (you need some acid here, I suppose only lemon or lime juice would do), with the oil from the tin of sardines and some seasoning (salt & pepper), all stirred up together.
Ladle the sauce over the sardines and top with finely sliced green onion.
I found I needed some more acid, and used a bit of home-made pepper vinegar, but lemon or lime juice would also do nicely, I suppose.
Also, since it's a bit of a cool winter day here, I warmed the lot in a microwave, but in the summer, it should do nicely cool...
This is my first try at a bodice block for Pulkidoll's "generation 1" body. I can't wait to try it on her!
The measurements to the right are of the original master, so the cast dolls could possibly turn out a little smaller. But I couldn't wait, so I went ahead and made a quick pattern with these initial measurements (from Samantha!). If it doesn't fit, I'll adjust and post another. =D
Anyone else getting her?
Suppose to relate to John Purday, through the quick investigative style though I don't think they are yet..

Rather like The Queen, the KC-135 seems to have been omnipresent during my life.
And the '135 too, has performed many roles, the premier one being as an air-to-air tanker. But a dedicated fleet had to be operated to carry the JP-7 fuel required for the Lockheed SR-71, and these were designated KC-135Q.
91504 was one of 56 so converted and was one of several that later became KC-135Ts with the fitting of modern engines.
