Some video footage from Friday night - Leeds First Friday.
The two of us walking across Sovreign Square, on our way to the Cosmo for Leeds First Friday.
I love this video - the lighting is great, and I really like our outfits and makeup. We looked good that night!

My lovely friend Bella came over for the weekend at the end of November. And on the Friday night we also met up with Alice who came for a night out. We had a lovely time!
Delicious food in Ambiente followed by a few drinks in the Old Town.
In Cuban Pete's.

Whistling Kite - has a nest and mate nearby
Scientific Name: Haliastur sphenurus
Description: The Whistling Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey) with a shaggy appearance. It has a light brown head and underparts, with pale streaks, and dark sandy-brown wings with paler undersides. The underwings have a characteristic pale 'M' shape when open. The head and body are relatively narrow and the tail is rounded. The wings are long and well-rounded, with a wingspan of 120 cm to 145 cm. The sexes are similar, but the females are larger. Yong birds are slightly darker above, with paler streaking on head and underbody. They are often seen near water or around farms, soaring in a lazy circling flight pattern.
Similar species: Several other raptors may be confused with the Whistling Kite, including the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, other kites and harriers. These can only be separated by factors such as flight silhouette and style and the overall body shape.
Distribution: The Whistling Kite is widespread over mainland Australia but uncommon in Tasmania, and is also found in New Guinea, the Solomons and New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Whistling Kite is found in woodlands, open country and particularly wetlands. It is also common around farmland, vineyards and anywhere where carrion (dead animals) can be found (e.g. abattoirs, rubbish dumps and roadsides). Prefers tall trees for nesting.
Feeding: Whistling Kites soar above the ground, trees and water to search for prey such as carrion (dead animals) and small live animals such as mammals, birds, fish and insects.
Breeding: The Whistling Kite appears to be monogamous, with some breeding pairs remaining in a territory throughout the year and pairs actively defend the area around a nest. The bulky nest platform is built of sticks in a tall tree and may be reused, growing larger over time. Both sexes build the nest and incubate the eggs (the female does most of the incubation however) and may breed two or three times a year. The young stay with the parents after fledging for about six to eight weeks.
Calls: Loud descending whistle: 'teee-ti-ti'.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Average weight: 770g
Breeding season: July to January in south; March to October in north.
Clutch Size: One to three, usually two.
Incubation: 38 days
Nestling Period: 46 days

Description: 27th July 2013. The blue hour on that particular morning was showing a hint of clear sunrise. After finishing work, immediately made my way to this lovely mosque in Puchong for a "sunrise" session. Alhamdulillah that although it is not everyday, that day I am still able to enjoy the beautiful creation of God.

Aspects of the National Museum of Australia.
ARM and Robert Peck von Hartel Trethowan architects jointly won an international competition in 1997 to design it. The Museum wraps around 11 hectares on the Acton Peninsula on Lake Burley Griffin, opposite Romaldo Giurgola's Parliament House.
There are two big architectural ideas that guide the building's shape: the Boolean string, which embodies our views on Australian history as tangled and incomplete, and the jigsaw puzzle, which signifies that the Museum is conceptually unfinished. It is a work in progress towards the articulation of the Australian experience that evolves over time.
Each of the jigsaw-puzzle pieces has a different stylised appearance and construction type. Together, the pieces form an incomplete circle around the central Garden of Australian Dreams.
External and internal walls have giant Braille signs like goosebumps. The signs spell out phrases, some colloquial, some suggestive: "Sorry, mate", "She'll be right", "Time will tell", "Who is my neighbour?" and "God knows".

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. ....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Red-backed Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus melanocephalus
Description: This is the smallest of the fairy-wrens, with the male in breeding plumage inmistakable; glossy black with a scarlet saddle, black bill and shortish tail with a squared tip. Adult non-breeding males and immature birds are very similar to the females which are plain warm-brown with a pinkish-brown bill, though males have a black bill. The tail of the females is longer and more pointed. These wrens have no blue in their plumage at all. They are usually in small family groups with mainly brownish birds.
Similar species: The breeding male is unmistakable. Eclipse (non-breeding) males and females are a warm brown with pale lores and eye-ring and are smaller than the similar Superb Fairy-wren M. cyaneus, which have orange-red lores. The Variegated Fairy-wren is also bigger with a longer tail. These wrens rarely overlap with the similar White-winged Fairy-wren M leucopterus.
Distribution: Red-backed Wrens are endemic (found only there) to north and east Australia.
Habitat: They are found in dense understorey dominated by tall grasses in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Seasonal movements: Resident and sedentary, and may move locally in the non-breeding season.
Feeding: Red-backed Wrens feed on small insects and arthropods, feeding in small groups among tall grasses and shrubs, sometimes in trees.
Breeding: Little is known about their breeding habits. The small dome-shaped nest is well-hidden and placed close to the ground, often in grass tussocks. The nest is made of grasses, bark strips and spiders web, lined with fine grasses and feathers. The eggs are white, splotched and spotted with red-brown marks. The female mainly incubates and broods the young. Both parents feed the nestlings, sometimes helped by others in the group, and remove the faecal sacs.
This is the smallest of the Fairy-wrens and is sometimes known as the Elfin Wren.
Calls: The call is a weak high-pitched reeling song, soft and unobstrusive, often only heard from quite close.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2-3
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

Bonampak means "painted walls" and it is the highly detailed frescoes and drawings, painted on the inside of the walls and roofs of three buildings, which make Bonampak a true delight and major attraction for archaeologists and visitors alike. The frescoes are incredibly well preserved and a highlight of a visit.
This site has been hidden away in the jungle for longer than most: not until 1946 did some American explorers discover the place. A visit to this site requires accompaniment of a guide from the Lacandón Maya on whose property the site is situated.
The buildings you can see today were built under the rule of Governor Chaan Muan II, who took the throne around 770AD. It appears that Bonampak was at times ally and foe to the neighboring city of Yaxchilan and the frescoes inside the three buildings of the Templo de Pinturas (Temple of Paintings) - the first showing the consecration of the Governor's Heir; the second a battle and torture and sacrifice of captives (suggesting victory in the battle) and the third celebration with dances and headdresses predominant along with bloodletting from the tongue - an offering of thanks to the gods. Interpretations vary.
Only three people are allowed into each of the rooms at any one time because perspiration (moisture) affects the paintings in a severe way.
This scene shows: Turtle-carapace players on the left follow rattle players in the procession, with a drummer playing a chest-high drum standing in the middle.

A rare weekend at home - July was a very busy month socially! And my weekend at home was kind of dictated by the fact I was travelling down to London on the Monday for an important consultation.
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
Cleavage! LOL!
I realised it was well over a year since I tried the self-adhesive bras I have that work much like a push-up bra or corset. And in that year, the hormones have quite obviously been working their magic! - what a wonderful discovery! :-)
My time has passed very oddly during my transition. It's like it's passing at two separate but concurrent speeds. I seem to be on never-ending waiting lists and day-to-day not much seems to be happening. But also, when I look back, I have transformed every aspect of my life, and it seems like only yesterday when I first stepped out in public back in 2016! I'm almost fully through my transition now, literally all i am waiting for is the lower surgery although I am considering breast enhancements too. Ideally I'm aiming for like this but without the self-adhesive bra.
PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT.Thanks. DO NOT SEND ME E-MAIL REQUESTING ME TO LOOK AT A PICTURE, I RETURN ALL COMMENTS IF YOU COMMENT.

Friday of a very very social week, my lovely friend Meghan came to Hull for taps at Ambiente.
We had a lovely time and went on to Cuban Pete's for a drink afterwards.
(Comments and Notes welcome)
(current Alt-Timeline up to this point posted on a previous weapon)
Automobile companies contributing to the war effort by aiding in weapons manufacture was not a new thing. Nevertheless, Continental Motors surprised American news agencies when it announced in 1983 that it would be submitting a design for upcoming military weapons trials.
The Mark 1 received much criticism, many papers commented that Continental had gone about building a gun like it was a motor, more fit to be strapped to four wheels then held by two hands. A military officer commented, "I thought we gave our soldiers guns, not clubs." Yet despite the Mark 1's heavy, bulky shape, it proved itself well in the trials. It was certainly not as pretty as the Browning P69, the other front runner of the trials, nor did it have the propaganda appeal of the Browning, but the heavy weight and muzzle device allowed the Continental machine pistol to be easily controlled at a fire rate far higher than the competition.
Cheap to manufacture, high fire rate, and great control made it a serious contender. Ultimately, money would do the talking, and the Army selected the Mark 1 over the far more expensive P69. The Continental Motors Mark 1 would go into service in 1984, as hostilities began to break out once more.

After our enormous dinner, we also went for a chippy tea on the same day - we certainly ate well! My local chippy is one of the best in Hull - Dundee Fisheries - and we had been planning to go there all glammed up for a laugh for a while. The opportunity finally presented itself, ha ha!
After that, we went into town to Monroe's cocktail bar where we met our friend Alexis. From there we went on to The Star.
Part way through a crazy social night in the Star (our booth was packed with people all night!) Jim, the owner, brought us over a huge cocktail dispenser full of cocktail - for free! He thought it would be good advertising, ha ha!
Of course, I couldn't even help with it because I don't drink. Gemma did her best, and we were giving it away too, but by the time we left there was still about half of it left, LOL!
With the gorgeous Alexis.

As you walk down some of the streets of the city you cannot help but be taken by the incredible poverty all around you. I came across this young boy taking a bath outside of his home which is little more than a patch-work of wooden boards, bits of plastic and a tin roof held down by old tires. He was taking a bath out of a large bowl and singing to himself and did not seem to mind the traveler with a camera interrupting him.

Rainbow Bee-eater
Scientific Name: Merops ornatus
The Rainbow Bee-Eater is a spectacular bird. With its green, blue, chestnut and yellow plumage, its slim build, slender curved bill and distinctive streamers that extend from the end of its tail, it is simply beautiful. Bee-Eaters are a familiar sight in many lightly-timbered parts of mainland Australia, where they often perch on fence-posts or overhead wires, then launch after flying insects, flying swiftly, sometimes with rapid twists and turns, before snapping the insect in its bill, and returning to the perch to eat it. Research featured in the 'State of Australia's Birds 2015' headline and regional reports shows a marked decline for the Rainbow Bee-eater (and some other aerial insectivories) in the East Coast region, where reporting rates for this species have dropped by over 50% in the since 2001.
Description: A striking, colourful bird, the Rainbow Bee-eater is medium sized, with a long slim curved bill and a long tail with distinctive tail-streamers. It has a golden crown and a red eye set in a wide black stripe from the base of the bill to the ears, which is edged with a thin blue line. The throat is orange-yellow, with a broad black band separating it from a green breast. The upperparts are green, with the flight feathers coppery and black tipped. The underwings are bright orange, with a black edge. The lower abdomen is blue. The tail is black, including the long tail streamers, with a blue tinge. Females have shorter, thicker tail streamers than males, but are otherwise similar. Young birds are duller and greener, lacking the black band on the chest and the long tail streamers.
Similar Species: The Rainbow Bee-eater may resemble some kingfishers, however these are plumper, with strong straight beaks, and never catch prey in flight.
Distribution: The Rainbow Bee-eater is found throughout mainland Australia, as well as eastern Indonesia, New Guinea and, rarely, the Solomon Islands. In Australia it is widespread, except in desert areas, and breeds throughout most of its range, although southern birds move north to winter over.
Habitat: The Rainbow Bee-eater is most often found in open forests, woodlands and shrublands, and cleared areas, usually near water. It will be found on farmland with remnant vegetation and in orchards and vineyards. It will use disturbed sites such as quarries, cuttings and mines to build its nesting tunnels.
Feeding: Rainbow Bee-eaters eat insects, mainly catching bees and wasps, as well as dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths. They catch flying insects on the wing and carry them back to a perch to beat them against it before swallowing them. Bees and wasps are rubbed against the perch to remove the stings and venom glands.
Breeding: Rainbow Bee-eaters gather in small flocks before returning to summer breeding areas after over-wintering in the north (apart from the resident northern populations). Both males and females select a suitable nesting site in a sandy bank and dig a long tunnel (average length: 89.4 cm) leading to a nesting chamber, which is often lined with grasses. Both parents incubate the eggs and both feed the young, sometimes with the assistance of auxiliaries (helpers).

Gemma and I both have our birthdays within a few days of each other so we decided to go back to Lincoln for another weekend to celebrate it.
Breakfast, the morning after my birthday. However, since I don't drink alcohol, I didn't need a hangover cure, ha ha!
