Diamond League athletics at the Birmingham Grand Prix, Alexander Stadium. Tarmoh was 1st and Felix 2nd in the 200m, though they were given the same time. Felix is the 200m Olympic champion (her gold medal winning time in 2012 was 21.88).
After a glittering career as an athlete, Allyson Felix has continued to record achievements in the fields of advocacy and business. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyson_Felix
I think I should call the pictures I took when I was having Chemo in 2017 my Twiggy Look as I lost so much weight. Maybe it compensated a bit as I understandably I didn't look well. I think I was so glad to have got through it relitively unscaved I celebrated the fact and rather than being down in the bumps I embraced it as I was sure it would all turn out fine.
Having detached 4814 and 4836 at Junee earlier in the morning, EL53 and GL103 race through Marinna (8km north of Junee) with a loaded grain train. The quaint station building at Marinna was once located on the Down side near the trees behind the small hut.
The following link shows a view in the same direction with the station as it was in 1980.

Discovering new Chinese diecast brands which actually make licensed castings is pretty rare so it was a lovely surprise to discover Top Mark back in January 2016. This very sharp looking Lamborghini Gallardo is typical of what they produce with its smart and well applied metallic paint, realistic styling,detailed lights and badging which makes it just as well produced and desirable as anything by our own Western toy makers.
Unfortunately these can't be bought from your local discount shop but thankfully can be found on the Chinese AliExpress website. Mint and boxed.

The client wanted a new top made out of local wood to replace an electric blue, veneered particle board top.
I found several pieces of Cherry from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; about a hundred miles away.
The top is 60" by 36" and 1 3/8" thick made from three laminated boards. I rabbeted the edges of the top so that it appears to be only 7/8" thick.
The extra, hidden thickness will add to the stability of the top without changing the overall height of the table.
I could have built the frame, too; it is the same 1 1/2" square steel tube which was a staple of my old scene shop.

"Top Gear Services Limited is in the heart of the Mountsorrel village and was took over by Timothy North and Ian Burle in 2007. Ian Burle has since retired to enjoy his golf. Previous to this, the garage was a Triumph and Ford dealership, and also a Coach garage."
My Flickr friend John recently posted his 10 favorite albums and encouraged me to do the same.
I enjoy a wide range of music, so picking just 10 albums is one difficult task. So let's just say these 10 are high among the 100's I wouldn't want to live without!
Charlie Parker - Dial and Savoy master takes. OK, I'm cheating already as this is at least two albums. But Bird, with a handful of other geniuses, created the vocabulary of modern jazz, and every note here is precious.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Possibly the single greatest jazz album ever cut.
Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots . There's a joyful spirit to this album which knocks me over every time.
Carla Bley Band - Social Studies. Great stuff, progressive yet accessible. Splendid orchestration throughout.
Now on to rock & folk..
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited. Could just as well have been "Blonde on Blonde" or "Blood on the Tracks", but this one has "Desolation Row" on it, which I consider Dylan's magnum opus..
Simon & Garfunkel - Box Set I've loved them since I was a kid of 8or 9, listening to my older brother's records. Probably explains a lot about my current worldview, seeing as how I was groovin' at that age to songs about people gassing themselves in lonely apartments....
Grateful Dead - American Beauty - For a few years, I was a real Dead Head, and of course the live jams are where it's at. Still, the beauty of the lyrics on this album helped me through many a tough time..
Elvis Costello - Get Happy! Each of the two or three minute songs on this one is a perfect jewel. The lyrics cut like the dialogue in a film noir..
Chicago - The Blues Today - Vol 1 - Representing the many blues artists I love is this album, which features selections from Junior Wells / Buddy Guy / J.B. Hutto / and Otis Spann
Beethoven - The Complete Works - Since I've only left myself room for one classical, I'll just take this 85 CD set covering all the works of my favorite composer..:)
Top Hills ~ Situated 2,000 feet above sea level on the cool hills of Busay, it is an excellent sight seeing spot which offers breathtaking views of Metro Cebu and the islands of Mactan and Olango. Open kiosks are available for daytime picnics at the summit of this viewpoint. The City of Cebu is the capital city of Cebu and is the second city in the Philippines with the second most significant metropolitan centre and known as the oldest Spanish settlement in the country. The city is located on the eastern shore of Cebu and was the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines. Cebu is the Philippines' main domestic shipping port and is home to about 80% of the country's domestic shipping companies. Cebu also holds the second largest international flights in the Philippines and is a significant centre of commerce, trade and industry in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Cebu City is the centre of a metropolitan area called Metro Cebu, which includes the cities of Carcar, Danao, Lapu-lapu, Mandaue, Naga, Talisay. Metro Cebu has a total population of about two million people. The Mactan-Cebu International Airport, located in Lapu-Lapu City is only a 20 minute drive away from Cebu City. To the northeast of the city is Mandaue City and the town of Consolacion, to the west is Toledo City, the towns of Balamban and Asturias, to the south is Talisay City and the town of Minglanilla. Across Mactan Strait to the east is Mactan Island where Lapu-Lapu City and an aquarium attraction are located.
The Cebu Provincial Capitol is dramatically positioned at the end of a grand perspective of a new avenue ( Osmeña Boulevard ) as conceived by William E. Parsons in his 1912 plan of Cebu, in the lines of the City Beautiful Movement. The building follows an H-shaped plan, one side opening to the terminus of Osmeña Boulevard. The main block or corps de logis, three stories high, is flanked by two secondary wings, symmetrically advancing to embrace a rectangular, elevated cour d'honneur that serves as an entrance podium. The elevation of the corps de logis is of typical neoclassical formula: a rusticated ground floor, containing minor rooms and offices, the piano nobile above, with the most important spaces, and finally the attic story. A heavy cornice and parapet caps the façade, with allegorical statues standing by its corners. The most distinctive part of the façade is the central concave pavilion, which creates the semi-circular main balcony and pulls together the entire mass, finally crowned by an austere dome upon an octagonal drum.
The piano nobile is reached by two staircases from the ground floor foyer. The first space, the art deco rotunda below the cupola, opens to the south the main balcony that faces Osmeña Boulevard, and to its north the ballroom (social hall). Two-stories high with full-length windows, the ballroom, also in art deco style, is reminiscent of a fairytale setting. Two enormous chandeliers fashioned in crystal and local capiz shells ( placuna placenta ) light the grand space
Cebu City is a significant cultural centre in the Philippines. The imprint of Spanish and Roman Catholic culture is evident. The city's most famous landmark is Magellan's Cross. A few steps away from the Magellan's Cross is the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino (Church of the Holy Child). This is a Augustinian church elevated to the rank of Basilica in 1965 during the 400th year celebrations of Christianity in the Philippines, held in Cebu. The church, which was the first to be established in the islands, is built of hewn stone and features the country's oldest relic, the figure of the Santo Niño de Cebú ( Holy Child of Cebu ). This religious event is celebrated during the island's cultural festivities known as the Sinulog festival. Held every third Sunday of January, it celebrates the festival of the Santo Nino, who was formerly considered to be the patron saint of Cebu. (This patronage was later changed to that of Our Lady of Guadalupe after it was realised that the St. Niño could not be a patron saint because he was an image of the Christ and not a saint.) The Sinulog is a dance ritual of pre-Hispanic indigenous origin. The dancer moves two steps forward and one step backward to the rhythmic sound of drums. This movement resembles somewhat the current (sulog) of the river. Thus, the Cebuanos called it Sinulog.
When the Spaniards arrived in Cebu, the Italian chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta, sailing under convoy with the Magellan expedition, offered a baptismal gift to Hara Amihan, wife of Rajah Humabon. She was later named Juana, the figure of the Santo Nino. The natives also honoured the Santo Niño de Cebu in their indigenous Sinulog ritual[citation needed]. The Sinulog ritual was preserved but limited to honouring the Santo Nino. Once the Santo Niño church was built in the 16th century, the Christian Malay people started performing the Sinulog ritual in front of the church, the devotees offering candles and indigenous dancers shouting ~ Viva Pit Senor!
Magellan's Cross is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese, and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan on arriving in Cebu in the Philippines around April 14 or 21, 1521. This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street ( Magallanes being the Spanish name of Magellan ), just in front of the city centre of Cebu City. A sign below the cross describes the original cross is encased inside the wooden cross that is found in the centre of the chapel. This is to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for souvenir purposes or in the belief that the cross possesses miraculous powers. Some people, however, believe that the original cross had been destroyed or had disappeared after Magellan's death, and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully colonized the Philippines.
The history is that when Ferdinand Magellan first arrived in Cebu on 21 April 1521 he erected a cross in Cebu. The cross there today is not the original. Magellan's Cross is one symbol of Cebu. This chapel's image can be found in Cebu city seal. It is also seen as the symbol of Roman Catholicism in the Philippines. Magellan and his crew were the first Europeans to arrive in the Philippines. They made the first conversions to Catholicism when they converted Rajah Humabon, the local chief, his wife and hundreds of his Cebuano villagers to accept Christianity and be consequently baptized. At the same time Magellan left in Cebu the Santo Nino de Cebu [ holy child of Cebu ] a doll figure made in Europe in the 16th Century representing Jesus Christ as a child. This doll was rediscovered some 45 years later the return to Cebu of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi who came back to Cebu on the order of King Phillip of Spain to make Cebu the first centre of the new Spanish Colony in Asia, called Las Islas Filipinas. This doll also plays an important function in the religious life of millions of people as explained here.
