This is my Phil looking out from the Kitchen window, he often sits there looking at the birds or in this case me at the garden,
Did you know when the cats close their eyes like that they are actually saying "I Love you!"

This is the leper's window which allowed the lepers to take part somewhat with church. Through it, Lepers, and other people with contagious diseases, could watch the parish priest at the altar elevating the sacrament during Holy Communion. These unfortunate people, often deformed by leprosy, where not allowed to enter the church or to take sacrament.
St Mary's at Pillerton Hersey, a most attractive south Warwickshire church. The interior is light and airy, with some interesting woodwork, particularly the superb 15th century panelled nave ceiling, studded with sprouting foliate bosses.
The windows are almost wholly clear glazed, which lightens up the interior and allows glimpses of the lush foliage outside, giving the light a slightly greenish tint (more literal in the case of the bizarrely coloured glass in the chancel squint!).

Selby Abbey
Situated in the north aisle of the abbey and up a set of steps. This is what the plaque on the steps says.
The Leper ‘Squint’
Please climb the steps carefully.
Look down the Leper ‘Squint’ and see how leper’s we’re allowed to take their turn peering through the narrow 9 feet 6.5 inch (2886mm) long hole. During medieval times the ‘squint’ provided the only view the poor, disfigured victims on leprosy could have of the high Altar from outside the abbey.
They were not allowed to mix with the rest of the congregation for fear of spreading the loprosy disease.
The other end of the squint is now in the Latham Chapel.
The Latham Chapel is now the cafe area, just off the north transept.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Cosmo the Kitty again.
I just uploaded about 30 photos at once, because I just had a "project" to finish for holiday gifts. Many are family photos from over the last few months and shots that slipped through the cracks somehow.

Woman squinting her eyes against the sun while enjoying the afternoon at the water and having a juice.
Curious beasts....so fascinating to watch their behaviors. This guy was just hanging out, probably trying to catch a quick nap, but it looks more like he is squinting and thinking, "if I close my eyes, do you think all these crazy people will leave me alone and find something else to gawk at?"

Because some things about Star Wars will always be cool, no matter how much the Prequels and the EU shit all over the franchise.
A little just-for-fun build I did after scoring the 9492 TIE Fighter set on clearance, and figured I'd make a TIE Interceptor MOC out of it to stick on my shelf.
from a few weeks back when my daughter and I met Joanne for an evening meal.
