Still going through older stuff. Tend to sit on things for a few weeks, maybe longer. This one from last September, I think. Too lazy to check :-)
Still, letting them stew for a bit helps. Looking back this one went from a first impression of 'meh!' to what I think was the best of the series I took on the day. In the end it was the 'to let' advert sneaking in at the bottom that I wanted in there. The trappings of wealth, just like the building itself, often just an illusion.

This public latrine (forica) was installed in what had previously been two shops, near the Forum Baths, perhaps when the Baths themselves were repaired in the 4th century A.D. The stone seating is still preserved around the walls, there was a basin next to the pillar at the doorway.
For people who want to know, the hole in the front is so the person can wipe themselfs. They would use a sponge on a stick and in front on the floor there is a small trench that had running water to clean it off.......

Mistress Lane (二奶巷) is approximately 500m long lane is located at the heart of Old Town neighborhood in Ipoh. During the tin-mining era, many rich miners had their mistresses stayed in these houses, therefore this tiny lane got its name after the infamous history.
With investors flocking in from neighboring Singapore, Mistress Lane is getting a "facelift" - transforming into a coming " it" place for pubs and cafes in Ipoh.

Out togging in Liverpool a week or so ago, I felt immediately drawn to photograph this lettings agent's premises at the Corner of Mount Pleasant and Clarence Street.
(It was the unusual combination of colours I guess.)
Having researched it a little before uploading the shot, all I can add is that I sure wouldn't be drawn to it if seeking somewhere to rent.
Usually, I add links @ this point but I definitely don't want any cookies, etc leading back here to me in this particular case. So, go Google for yourself.
Incidentally, the window sign reads "Hello Students. Find your home from home with us".

Our village is very pretty. Last year there was a plan to modernise St Anne's shopping centre off the High Street. Businesses were brought up and ambitious plans were tabled to make a mini shopping outlet mall. The news about HS2 spooked the investors or so it is said. They pulled out and we are left with a number of empty shop premises. They are slowly crumbling.
RICK VENHA AQUIIIIIIIIIIII
A foto não mente, veja a posição do dedinho e leiam os labios no momento do aQUIIIII...
Só quem já saiu com ela aqui no Brasil é que pode confirmar a veracidade da minhas palavras.
Nesta foto por exemplo:
Ela quando deixou o carro estacionado para subir o Pão de Açucar (Morro da Urca), tinha visto no interior deste muro uma planta chamada vulgarmente de Dinheio em Pencas, e os olhos brilharam como mostra na foto, eu disse que essa planta pega de galho, apenas um galhinho ja basta para aquilo espalhar pelo chão.
Ela subiu o Pão de Açucar a pé, reclamou que eu estava de chinelo, mas acabou comprando e tirando o tenis, fez varias fotos, alem de compras, lanches, mas vocês acham que ela esqueceu o Dinheiro em Pencas? Nadaaaa...
Assim que se aproximou do local houve essa conversa:
- Rick é ali, pega para mim
- Eu não, voce esqueceu que foi exatamente aqui proximo aquela confusão que voce me colocou, comigo nunca mais, voce disfarça, abaixa e finge que tem algo no pe, e disfarçadamente pega um galhinho.
- Galhinho não, tem que ser com Raizzz...
- Não precisa, la em casa ja teve desta planta, isto eh uma praga, pega de galho mesmo quando voce não quer.
- Rickkkk fica aqui comigooooo
Nesta hora todo ato que teria de ser discreto começa a cair por terra com ela olhando de um lado por outro assustada com aquela expressão Gente eu vou fazer algo errado, nisto eu continuo andando enquanto ela se abaixa e fica la parada olhando para um lado a outro vendo se alguem tava olhando...
- Ohhhhhh Rick venha aquiiiiiiiii (foto)
Assim que tiro esta foto dela agindo discretamente, ela me arranca um tolete de dinheiro em penca que parecia em tamanho e formato um buquet noiva dos grandes e com o flagante nas mãos, fica ainda chamando o meu nome, nesta hora eu ja tava do outro lado da rua apontando a camera pra o ceu fotodisfarçando o nada...
EXPLICANDO O CALDEIRÃO DA BRUXA
Estavamos em Mendes, onde minha familia é bastante conhecida e como diz a Zan manda na cidade, quando passando por uma grande casa que foi adaptada para uma loja de moveis artesanais e decoração, ela decidiu tirar umas fotos, como ainda era muito cedo a loja ainda estava fechada, mas isto nao foi problema para ela entrar no jardim, ja que não havia um muro propriamente dito e sim uma corrente fazendo esse papel de mureta.
- Rickkkkk olha o caldeirão da Bruxa, tira uma foto minha dentro dele
Já nesta hora o Rui e Louise assobiando disfarçadamente começaram a se afastar me deixando sozinho na cena, exatamente neste momento da foto, a porta de madeira começa a abrir, num piscar de olhos, eu ja estava do outro lado da Rua.
quando olhei procurando por ela , ela ainda estava exatamente na posiçao dentro do Panelão, já imaginado o que o dono da loja pensaria vendo aquela cena
O QUE VOCES PENSARIAM SE FOSSE ELE?
Nas fotos da segunda sequencia ha outras historias que ja postei das coisas que ela apronta, olha que esta são apenas algumas das MUITAS que acontecem,
Pois é Papagaio come milho, periquito leva a fama, ela em Portugal se comportou e basicamente não aprontou nada, pelo menos pelo que fiquei sabendo...
Todo mundo que sai com a gente na primeira vez, já no final da Saida diz a seguinte frase
É Rick bem que voce falou

In the UK, most students begin their academic studies with accommodation owned or managed by the University, and at the end of the first year, are expected to move into rented accommodation. Many choose Selly Oak because of its proximity to the university. The student 'quarter' consists of five main roads, all situated within the suburb. Rows of red brick terrace houses stretch as far as the eye can see. Each house is divided into a minimum of three bedrooms (plans are in hand to limit house conversions to nine) and according to the website 'Save the Student', each bedroom commands an average of £125.00 per week. (UK average in 2020/21).
Due to the high demand for student accommodation in Birmingham, you may well need to secure your home up to nine months before the start of the academic year (Michaelmas ). Because each house has so many occupants and so many of them own cars, securing a car park space within sight of your 'digs' probably needs to be measured in years!

as traineras son un claro ejemplo de cómo el uso de un instrumento de trabajo va desapareciendo con el paso del tiempo, dando lugar a la competición y al juego, pasando a ser hoy en día una embarcación deportiva de remo de banco fijo con una estricta reglamentación en cuanto a peso, dimensiones, etc.
El proceso de fabricación lleva al menos un mes o mes y medio. Se realiza un plano a escala de la embarcación, basándose en unas medidas estándar de 12 metros de eslora, 95 centímetros de proa, 75 centímetros de popa y 60,5 cm. de puntal. El peso total de la embarcación incluyendo tolete, bancada y toletera tiene que ser de 200 kg.
El material utilizado durante años era la madera en su totalidad, de cedro y haya. Actualmente, el material utilizado es la fibra de carbono y el kevlar para realizar embarcaciones con técnicas de aeronáutica, similares a las aplicadas en la construcción del fuselaje del avión Airbus 380.1
La embarcación es de una pieza y tiene más resistencia que anteriormente. La vida de una embarcación en un club importante suele ser dos o tres años. Una trainera, en el año 2008, tenía un precio aproximado de 25.000 euros.1 Los remos, como las embarcaciones, eran de madera aunque igual que la trainera han evolucionado hasta la fibra de carbono.
En la actualidad, una tripulación de trainera está compuesta por 13 remeros más un patrón. Los remeros están distribuidos en seis filas de 2 remeros más el remero de proa, que va solo en su bancada anterior. En cada bancada, excepto en proa, un remero rema por babor y otro por estribor, haciéndolo «de espaldas», es decir, mirando hacia popa. El patrón, que comúnmente va de pie en la popa mirando a proa, es el que dirige la embarcación con el timón.
Únicamente participan en las regatas de traineras clubes representantes de toda la costa norte cantábrica: Galicia, Principado de Asturias, Cantabria, País Vasco y País Vasco Francés; y aparte del correspondiente premio en metálico de cada regata, al club ganador tradicionalmente se le otorga una bandera de la localidad que acoge la competición o del patrocinador de la misma.
Well the paint is dry, the lights are working and it's looking pretty smart. Refurbishment part 1 is over!

Don Pelayo (¿? - Cangas de Onís, Asturias, 737) fue el primer monarca del reino de Asturias que rigió hasta su muerte. Su origen es controvertido, aunque se le atribuyen los orígenes más variados. La Crónica Albeldense le hace un noble godo («XV. ITEM ORDO GOTORUM OBETENSIUM REGUM. 1. Primum in Asturias Pelagius rg. in Canicas an. XVIIII. Iste, ut supra diximus, a Uittizzanc rege de Toleto expulsus Asturias ingressus.1 ). El testamento de Alfonso III, del año 869,2 en que el rey Magno dona al presbítero Sisnando la iglesia de Santa María de Tenciana (Tiñana, Siero) que su tío Alfonso el Casto había ganado de las propiedades pertenecientes a su bisabuelo Pelayo, vincula territorialmente a Pelayo con el área central de Asturias, aunque sin aportar datos sobre su lugar de origen. Frenó la expansión de los musulmanes hacia el norte, comenzó la Reconquista y se le ha considerado tradicionalmente como el fundador del reino de Asturias, aunque recientes investigaciones arqueológicas sugieren que podría haberlo hecho sobre una organización política local previa.
La leyenda
Según la leyenda, Pelayo era un noble visigodo, hijo del duque Favila. Debido a las intrigas entre la nobleza visigoda, el rey Witiza conspiró para asesinar a su padre. Pelayo huyó a Asturias, donde tenía amigos o familia. Posteriormente, al sentirse inseguro en la Península, marchó como peregrino a Jerusalén. Allí permaneció hasta la muerte de Witiza y entronización de Rodrigo, del que era partidario. Con éste, ocupó el cargo de conde de espatarios o de la guardia del rey y como tal combatió en la batalla de Guadalete en abril o mayo del año 711. Tras la batalla se refugió en Toledo y, a la caída de la ciudad (714), mientras otros escapaban a Francia, él volvió a Asturias, supuestamente custodiando el tesoro del rey visigodo.
Las primeras incursiones árabes en el norte fueron las de Muza entre los años 712 y 714. Entró en Asturias por el puerto de Tarna, remontó el río Nalón y tomó Lucus Asturum (Santa María de Lugo de Llanera) y luego Gijón, donde dejó a cargo al gobernador Munuza. Las familias dominantes del resto de las ciudades asturianas capitularon y probablemente también la familia de Pelayo.
En 718 tuvo lugar una primera revuelta encabezada por Pelayo (al parecer porque Munuza se había casado por la fuerza con su hermana Adosinda), que fracasó. Pelayo fue detenido y enviado a Córdoba. Sin embargo, consiguió escapar y volver a Asturias, donde encabezó una segunda sublevación y se refugió en las montañas de Covadonga y Cangas, donde se mantenía la resistencia.
En 722 Munuza envió a un general, Al Qama, a someter a los sublevados. Al Qama se dirigió hacia Bres (Piloña), donde se encontraba Pelayo. Éste se dirigió huyendo hasta el monte Auseva, en el valle de Cangas y allí, en la Batalla de Covadonga, aniquiló al destacamento de Al Qama que venía de la península para ayudar a eliminar definitivamente la resistencia en las montañas.
Posteriormente a esta batalla, el gobernador militar al mando de la mitad norte de la península Ibérica, Munuza, que tenía como base Gigia (actual Gijón), intentó escapar de Asturias y alcanzar la seguridad de sus posiciones en la meseta, pero fue dado alcance y muerto junto con su séquito y sus tropas en un valle del centro de Asturias.

Muerte y sepultura de don Pelayo
El rey don Pelayo falleció en Cangas de Onís, donde tenía su corte, en el año 737. Después de su defunción, su cadáver recibió sepultura en la iglesia de Santa Eulalia de Abamia, situada en la localidad asturiana de Abamia, en la que previamente había sido sepultada su esposa, la reina Gaudiosa. En el lado del Evangelio de dicha iglesia, se conserva en la actualidad el sepulcro, vacío, que contuvo los restos del rey, y enfrente, colocado en el lado de la Epístola, se encuentra el que contuvo los restos de la esposa de don Pelayo. El cronista Ambrosio de Morales dejó constancia en su obra de que Alfonso X el Sabio, rey de Castilla y León, ordenó trasladar los restos del rey don Pelayo y los de su esposa a la Santa Cueva de Covadonga.9
Tumba del rey don Pelayo en la Santa Cueva de Covadonga.
En una cavidad natural de la Santa Cueva de Covadonga, e introducidos en un túmulo de piedra, reposan en la actualidad los restos del rey don Pelayo, los de su esposa, y los de Ermesinda, hermana del rey. En el sepulcro se encuentra esculpida la siguiente inscripción:10
"AQVI YACE EL SEÑOR REY DON PELAIO, ELLETO EL AÑO DE 716 QUE EN ESTA MILAGROSA CUEBA COMENZO LA RESTAVRACION DE ESPAÑA BENCIDOS LOS MOROS; FALLECIO AÑO 737 Y ACOMPAÑA SS M/gEr Y ErMANA"
No obstante lo anterior, numerosos historiadores han cuestionado la autenticidad del traslado de los restos del rey Don Pelayo y de su esposa a Covadonga.9
Enseñanza en el mundo musulmán
Al menos en Siria en 1995 se enseñaba acerca de Pelayo, "una mula incivilizada de las montañas que derrotó a los musulmanes". Esto es una muestra de la relevancia que se le dio al acontecimiento, y como fue percibido dentro del mundo musulmán.[
/Don_Pelayo
Pelagius (Spanish: Pelayo; c. 685 – 737) was a Visigothic nobleman who founded the Kingdom of Asturias, ruling it from 718 until his death. Through his victory at the Battle of Covadonga, he is credited with beginning the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian peninsula from the Moors. He established an independent Christian state in opposition to Moorish hegemony, but there is no strong evidence that he intended to resuscitate the old Visigothic Kingdom, or was motivated by any religious desire.
The chief sources for Pelagius's life and career are two Latin chronicles written in the late ninth century in the kingdom he founded. The first is the Chronica Albeldensia, written at Albelda towards 881, and preserved in the Codex Vigilanus, with a continuation to 976. The later is the Chronicle of Alfonso III, which was revised in the early tenth century and preserved in two textual traditions that diverge in several key passages[1]: the Chronica Rotensis, preserved in the Roda Codex, and the Chronica ad Sebastianum,[3] supposedly written by Sebastian, Bishop of Salamanca (910–913).[4] The only likely earlier sources from which these chroniclers could derive information are regnal lists.
Pelagius was a Visigoth nobleman, the son of Fafila. The Chronica Albeldensis says that this Fafila was a dux of Gallaecia, who was killed by Wittiza. The Chronicle of Alfonso III identifies Pelagius as a grandson of Chindasuinth and says that his father was blinded in Córdoba, at the instigation of Wittiza. Wittiza is also said to have exiled Pelagius from Toledo upon assuming the crown in 702. All of this, however, is a late tradition.[6]
According to the later tradition, Munuza, the Berber governor of Iegione (either Gijón or León), became attracted to Pelagius' sister and sent word to Tariq ibn Ziyad, who ordered him to capture Pelagius and send him to Córdoba. That Munuza's seat was at Gijón or León is sufficient to demonstrate that the Arabs had established their rule in the Asturias and that Pelagius was not the leader of a local resistance to Arab conquest.[8] Rather, Pelagius may have come to terms with the Arab elite whereby he was permitted to govern locally in the manner of the previous Visigoths, as is known to have occurred between Arab rulers and Visigothic noblemen elsewhere, as in the case of Theudimer.[9]
At some point Pelagius is said to have rebelled, but for what reasons is unknown; such rebellions by local authorities against their superiors formed a common theme in Visigothic Spain. An army was sent against him under the command of Alkama and the Christian bishop of Seville, Oppa. That Alkama was the general and that there was a bishop of Seville named Oppa among his ranks is generally accepted. A battle was fought near Covadonga (in monte Auseva or in monte Libana) in which Alkama was killed and Oppa captured.[7] Moorish chronicles of the event describe Pelagius and his small force as "thirty wild donkeys", as reported by al-Maqqari in the 17th century.[10][11] The battle is usually dated to 718 or 719, between the governorships of al-Hurr and as-Sham, though some have dated it as late as 722 and the Chronica Albeldensia mis-dates it to the 740s.
After his election as princeps (prince, principal leader) of the Asturians by the local magnates in the Visigothic manner, Pelagius made his capital at Cangas de Onís. The Chronica Rotensis says about this election:
And he [Pelagius], going to his mountainous lands, gathered all those who were going to council and ascended a big mountain named Asseuua. He spread his orders between all the Astures, who gathered in council and elected Pelagius as their princeps.
Chronica Rotensis.
His kingdom, firstly centred on the eastern Asturias, soon grew. He married his daughter Ermesinda to the future king Alfonso I, son of Pelagius' eastern neighbour, Duke Peter of Cantabria.[13] Pelagius reigned for eighteen or nineteen years until his death in 737, when he was succeeded by his son Fafila.
He was buried in the church of Santa Eulalia de Abamia, located in the surroundings of the village of Corao, near Cangas de Onís. His remains were transferred by King Alfonso X of Castile to the Holy Cave of Covadonga, as were those of his wife Gaudiosa and his sister.
