The gem I had been waiting for was the much modified former Malta route bus EBY528 now registered SKR801G and one of two being used to promote Lloyds TSB on the Olympic Torch Relay.
Seen in Crewe this morning
The space in the front of the house was lit with actual burning torches rather than electric lamps. It gave a lovely natural light and a lovley smell too.

It was our turn today for the Olympic Torch Relay down in Canterbury!
We had a splendid lunch at a friend of mines restaurant - all with a british theme and accompanied by some fab wine from the Chappledown estate!
Then a few minutes before the torch was due we prized ourselves from the table and stepped outside to see the torch go by. This in fact was the runner that followed the one we saw walking past into position a 100 metres or so down the road. She was right in fornt of me and I grabbed a couple of shots of her. I really like this, I had initially cropped it to just the torch but I decided I like it more with just a bit of her face in the frame too.
As a bonus I have tonight been able to arrange getting my hands on one of these babies from a friend of my other half who ran with it in the Channel Tunnel yesterday! Hopefully some nice pictures to follow!
One of the prettiest views of the Buzludzha monument you can get is from half way up the mountain at the Torch monument. It is also a good place to park your car if you came with one. The path you see here is not the easiest way to get to Buzludzha, there is a road on the other side of the mountain top, but it is defelinitely worth the trek.
Nearly a disaster this morning.
I switched on the hall light and 'POP' the bulb blows and it trips the safety switch and everything goes black.
So I fumble around looking for a torch. But couldn't locate it. Its black.
So I grab my house keys which have a little LED light on the keyring and use that to go downstairs and out of the door into the communal landing. In just my underpants.
*CLICK* - the door shuts behind me.
Thank god I didn't find the torch.
Lesson learned. Never leave the confines of your apartment without housekeys. EVER!!

This Tuesday, Rupert, my friend's adult son with Downs Syndrome, had his usual barbecue birthday lunch party for some 40 students and carers from the Co-operative that he attends.
I have made Rupert's birthday cake for many years but this year I just couldn't. However, I was determined to do something, so I attempted a few cupcakes. The rice paper toppers that I found on eBay were just wonderful, and so appropriate, as Rupert has been selected to be one of the Olympic Torch-bearers !! He is doing his run on the 17th of July through our town.
As you might expect, the weather on Tuesday was very showery and we weren't sure the barbecue was going ahead until 11am that day ! Hence the cupcakes were very roughly iced but the guests seemed to enjoy them regardless !
The rain held off for most of it and everyone had a great time !

This is a clumping type of ginger with large elongated leaf stems that may attain 20 feet. The name describes the inflorescence that forms at the end of a stalk and resembles a torch. This ginger is native to the East Indies. It is not recommended for small confined areas.

After it blew out of its rusted frame a few years ago; either the landscapers, IDOT, or the owner of the Wauconda BP station tossed this smashed-up Amoco sign into the woods. It wasn't until the plant overgrowth died off for the winter that I finally caught a glimpse in the corner of my eye, while driving to work one afternoon.

Yes, more vacation photos! This was my first ever visit to Torch Lake. It is absolutely beautiful and I plan on going back again some day.
My second shot using a borrowed Clulite CB2 1 Million CP Lamp. This shoot was a nightmare due to condensation forming on the lens and filters, which has forced me to bin 70% of my shots from last night. I like this lamp but I find the light from it a little warm and would prefer even more CP, maybe 2 or 3 million in order to enable a shorter exposure time, as my camera is pants at dealing with noise from low light long exposures, which I've tried my best at dealing with here. Additionally, I find the most difficult part of painting with light on this scale, to be judging the light spread evenly across the subject. However, I'm sure with practice it'll get easier :-)
