Pretty flowery trishaw at the Red Square of Malacca.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

snack time! i pop these like some people eat m&ms.... i LOVE tomatoes (Trader Joes has these cute mini heirlooms and it's a great way to try out different varieties inexpensively)
Welcome to Tuesday.
You are welcome to it.
And something exciting happening later, but for now, there is the usual, get up, get dressed, drink coffee and be ready for work at seven.
Jools wasn't going swimming, so she had a shower then got dressed before heading off just before seven.
When we looked out the back of the house, the sky was black with cloud, except for a small band of clear sky just above the trees on the other side of the valley, and in that gap was the blood red sliver of the waning moon.
And was then gone.
And so with Cleo watching on, I set up the office.
I learn that Denmark at two inches of snow and is still very cold. We actually are due to have sunshine, though ten degrees cooler than a week before.
Now the interesting bit.
At the end of the Deal Road into Dover, is the Duke of York's roundabout with the Duke of York's pub behind it. Why'd they have that name?
Well, behind both is the Duke of York's Military School, a huge site stretching from here to Fort Bergoyne, then to Guston. The school was founded here in 1909 and was a place where the children of military personnel were taught while their parents were posted, probably overseas.
It is still 100% for boarders, but no longer under the control of the MOD, but has a strong military ethic. I'm not going to judge.
Anyway.
The project to photograph Kent churches is mainly for parish church, but if I can get to see otheres: RC, Baptist or whatever, I'll take it.
Last September, for the first time, The Duke of Yorks Military School took part in Heritage Weekend. Sadly, I found out too late to get on a tour, but I struck up e mail correspondence with the organiser and he agreed that I could come and take shots.
Clashes of dates meant that I had to wait two months, but today was the day, and weather full of low winter sunshine. Although shadows inside were very striking.
The school was built here when it moved from Chelsea in 1909, designed by Sir Henry Tanner in the "Hampstead Garden Suburb" style. The entire complex is pretty much of all the same date and style, with the exception of two newer academic buildings.
Focal point is the large clock tower, which has just been renovated.
The chapel has several war memorials dedicated to pupils who gave their lives for their country.
I was met at reception after driving round the ring road past the athletics track and several of the boarding houses. I was met by the guy I had been writing to, he guessed I was Ian as I was laden with camera gear.
The chapel was on the other side of the road, and is a fine example of early 20th century design, the rest of the school is all of a similar style too.
He lets me get on with my task of taking shots, while he tells me some of the history of the school and chapel.
It is very well maintained, with a fairly new rood, but the rest is original and very well kept.
I took a 100 shots or so, said thanks and was gone, all in under an hour.
I went to Tesco to buy unch and came away with: a turkey and stuffing sandwich, a spicy bean wrap and a pack of spicy paprika crisps. Don't shop when you're hungry, kids.
Back home for lunch and back to work, where not much had happened.
On the tellybox at the same time as working, Saudi beat Argentina 2-1 after being a goal down.
Football, eh?
And then two dull 0-0 draws, so once work was done, I decided to go out for a walk.
Not far, just up and down the four streets in the estate, nearly 6,000 steps.
Feeing better.
We had warmed through stuffed peppers again for dinner, and were again totes amazeballs.
As was the wine.
And there was time for one more game to watch as music played on the cat's whiskers.
Phew.

It should be open again in September 2023 for Heritage Day.

In 1801, His Royal Highness Frederick Duke of York laid the foundation stone in Chelsea of what was to become The Duke of York's Royal Military School, a school for the children of military personnel which opened in 1803. Then in 1909, the school relocated to its present site in Dover, Kent and in 2010, we became the first full state boarding academy, opening our doors to any family wishing to choose this unique and iconic school for their child’s secondary education.
I'm committed, to take self portrait like 365 doers, whenever I have time.
I love summer. i mean LOVE. the greens, the flowers and all the prettys.
but I HATE bugs. it's 60 outside today when I was taking pictures, and
the 20min I spent out there, I received 4 mesquite bites.
I heard tobacco can be very good repellent? but I don't smoke!
ugh! last year I bought 5 bottles of OFF. they made me so allergic,
I felt sick every time I used it.
so I'm looking for some natural bug repellent, any suggestions?
Between morning and late afternoon game drives I would pass the time wandering about the lodge grounds...or sit quietly and observe the abundence of wild life around me.....*sigh*
I think I left a piece of my heart in Africa....
Wishing you excellent day and thank you for your visits, feedback and favs! =)
Time is very slow for those who are waiting,
very fast for those who fear,
too long for those who complain,
too short for those who rejoice,
but, for all those who love, time is eternity.

Good morning. With insects now long gone I decided to spend some time in the yard this past week with the intent of getting a few photos of the Slate-colored Juncos that have returned for the winter. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful so I decided to stake out the birdbath, which I haven't done for a while. Glad I did as quite a few birds stopped by in spite of the chilly weather. First up was the above Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), considered by many to be the prettiest of North American birds.
Today's series doesn't include every yard visitor we normally get, Cardinals being notably absent, just of the ones I was able to get a decent photo. And it's kind of a long series, so please bear with if you will.
Thank you for visiting...I hope you have a great Friday and a most pleasant weekend, and a very Happy Deepavali to all my flickr friends in India.

Had an easy relaxing day, dentist this morning (which isn't really relaxing as I hate the dentist), homebase afterwards for some tester pots (for the kitchen), a wuick nip into Sainsburys and then home. I spent the rest of the afternoon cuddling up with Imogen on the sofa watching Toy Story (her favourite film at the moment).
Once we had collected Bethany from school it was time to crack on with dinner, while that was in the oven and the girls were playing, drawing, and watching tele I managed to fit in half an hour of reading.
Even though I have a Kindle which I do love, I really think you can't beat a good book. It was nice to lose myself, even if it was for half an hour.

Test time-lapse video.
Photo every 10 seconds.
About one hour before sunrise to one hour after. (6-8am).
Those of you who know me, know that I have major sleeping problems combined with nightmares.
For some reason it has become worst over the past few weeks.
I do not like to find the answer in pills.
There are things I need to do now.

Just came back from a mini vacation with some friends. We had a great time and sad that I'm back to work later. Last Saturday we decided to hang out by the pool. But before that we had some wine for lunch. So one of my friends brought this bikini, and decided not to wear it. Then drunk me said, "I'll wear it! I don't care you are the only ones that know me here. I don't care if strangers look!" So with the liquid courage, we went out to the pool. I was getting some looks and turned heads we went poolside. Even a young, handsome lifeguard complemented me. I hinted at him that I could be old enough to be your mother! Then with out hesitation, he said "MILF"!My friends giggled but I didn't feel insulted. We just went on our way to our chairs. I didn't catch me looking a few more times! So a friend took some pictures of me in the pool and having some more wine.
Be safe and healthy everyone!
