swim practice was canceled because of bad roads (snow!), so i grabbed my camera and took a few quick pictures. (if you're wondering - we're painting and re-flooring the living room, hence the mess)
if we have a snow day tomorrow (FINGERS CROSSED!!!), there will be TONS of snow photos on my stream... XD

Saturday morning we found a new place for breakfast - the Moonraker narrowboat was a lovely little place which we will be using regularly. Nice quality breakfast and lovely friendly people.

This model had an MSRP of around $2.2 million and only 200 were to be built, so I expect if somebody thought they could get one for "only" 2.2 they were probably disappointed.

For the first time, I went for a weekend visit to Gemma's and we had a great time! We packed loads into a couple of days.
Saturday morning we were up early to go to Dovedale in the Peak District. What a stunningly beautiful place it is! So picturesque! I loved every minute.
Because it's a well known area of outstanding natural beauty, it gets busy early so we made sure we arrived as soon as the car park opened. That meant it was reasonably quiet walking outwards, but coming back there were so many people!
I showed the pictures to my Sister wjhen I got home and she loved them so much, she took her family there camping the very next weekend!

Quite a lot of photos from this November evening! Experimenting with a few camera angles so here are the ones which (in my opinion) worked.

Fall morning at Rundle Park here, in Edmonton. We had a bit of time before wind took all the beautiful colors off our trees, and we have been able to take advantage of it. It was an amazing time, to watch all that beauty start to glow with rising sun.. Enjoy it, especially today, when the skies are heavy with clouds and it is getting colder and colder...
again the "outside my window" activity began at dusk .... grrr
two hares appeared but only one attended to her/his toilette which consisted of toe nibbling, whisker combing etc. The other seemed more interested in eating - no comment!
The following comment is kindly provided by Mr. Johnsons grandson Mel Johnson:
Although John Edwin Johnson died before I was born, I am aware that he was not a jeweller or clock maker, but was in fact a wheelwright /coach builder, and had a business in Fylde St, Preston.
John Edwin Johnson’s father was a John Thomas Johnson who was born in Carlisle in 1847 and became an auctioneer/dealer. John Thomas Johnson’s father was also John Johnson who was born in Dublin in 1825. At first he was also an auctioneer/dealer, but later established the prominent jewellers and clock maker business at 10-11 Orchard St, Preston.
In the mid 1870s his son John Thomas Johnson also set up a similar business in Orchard St, and for a while the Johnson’s occupied a number of premises in Orchard St.
I am continuing to try to research into these businesses. John Johnson senior was still at 10-11 Orchard Street as late as the 1881 census, but by this time there was no trace of his son John Thomas Johnson.

We had another weekend in Lincoln! This time it was to see Heaven 17 at the Drill Hall.
What a brilliant gig! One of the best I have ever been to!
We got in early and got a place at the barrier right at the front.
My god it was so hot! No air conditioning and it was a scorching weekend. But what a gig!
Glen Gregory (the lead singer) noticed my light-up bag (that I was holding up at around chest level) and announced to the crown that he had been distracted by 'a woman with light-up boobs' LOL! And he did come over and sang to Gemma and me a few times during the gig!
And I managed to get Martyn Ware's (the keyboardist's) set list as a memento of the concer too.
A brilliant night!

Ladies who lunch!
I went out for lunch with a friend who lives not far from Leeds, so we met up for a pub lunch near Goole, somewhere between her and me. Exotic, I know! ;-)
I had a lovely time, and we're going to be doing this on a fairly regular basis. Which is brilliant - another opportunity for me to get Emily out in the real world.

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.
Our last night in Lincoln was really Gemma's birthday night because we were going back home on her birthday the next day. We found a new place with a light=up dance floor - Fever Boutique.
Good tunes and a great night although we didn't meet many people that night. Very enjoyable nonetheless and there's even video evidence of me dancing, ha ha!

Richard Amor GREEN
Born 1862 Died 1924
Stanley Hillier GREEN [memorial only]
Born 1890 Died 1890
Forever with the Lord
********************************
Richard
Block 38 Plot 108
Died 10 April 1924 at his residence 6 Armagh Street[5]
Occupation: Merchant and born 9 June 1862[4] Christchurch.
“Mr. Richard Amor Green was a representative for the South-East Ward in the Christchurch City Council from August. 1899. to April, 1901. Mr. Green, who is a native of Christchurch, was born in 1862, and educated at Melville House and Christ's College. He was a Masonic scholar in 1874, and a Government scholar in 1875 and 1876. After completing his school course he entered the business of his father, Mr. T. H. Green, on whose death he became senior partner in the business now known as that of T. H. Green and Co., ham and bacon curers. Mr. Green is a Past Master in the Canterbury Masonic Lodge, 1048, E.C., and has attained to high rank in the District Grand Lodge, and is secretary of the District Grand Stewards' Lodge. He was married, in 1887, to Miss Crowe, daughter of Mr. William Crowe, of Christchurch.”[3]
Richard married Jane Edith CROWE on 30 March 1887 at St Lukes, Christchurch.
Ages 24/20; Occu: bacon curer/ - ; both born Christchurch.
Parents
Witnesses were Emily Anne CROWE, Thomas H. GREEN and William CROWE.[4]
There is no Jane Edith GREEN in the cemetery database however her death is recorded as c1956 aged 89[6] and if she was cremated this would not show on the CCCDB. It is interesting to note how big the plot is for only 1 burial.
Stanley appears to only be mentioned as a memorial as according to CCCDB he is buried in Linwood at Block 4 Plot 26
Press, Volume XLVIL, Issue 7661, 19 September 1890, Page 4
“GREEN. – On September 18th, at [23] Armagh street, Stanley Hillier, infant son of Richard and Edith Green, aged fourteen weeks.”[1]
Stanley WHO IS BURIED IN LINWOOD CEMETERY with his grandfather, well known Christchurch businessman of his time Thomas Hillier GREEN who died at 169 Cambridge Terrace on 23 September 1890 [4 days after Stanley] aged 52 years, bacon curer born Sommerset [sic] UK and having lived in NZ for 29 years is noted as also being buried in Linwood at Block 4 Plot 24. Greens buildings situated at 123 Manchester street were ruined in the earthquakes

Thomas Hillier GREEN senior’s obituary:
Star , Issue 6968, 24 September 1890, Page 1
MR T. H. GREEN,
A notice appears in another column stating that Mr Thomas H. Green, aged fifty-two, has departed this life. Mr Green had been ailing for over six months from heart disease. Mr Green is one of Canterbury's pioneers, and, moreover, one of the right sort— a man full of energy and determination. Bred and born in the midst of agricultural operations in England, he saw an opportunity on arrival in Canterbury of starting a pork butchering business in Christchurch, which he carried on with satisfactory results for some years. A few years later Mr Green saw an opening for the increase of this business by exporting to the neighbouring Colonies, and he built a large curing establishment in Manchester street. There he carried on business on a large scale, and the name of Canterbury hams and bacon became well known in the Australian Colonies. He then built a large block of buildings on the frontage of the section and conducted the curing at the back. When the Islington Factory was mooted, Mr Green threw in hip lot with the promoters, and it is needless to say his energetic business habits have still further increased the demand for the Company's product. He leaves a widow and grown up family, chiefly sons. Mr Green's funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon. [2]
Star , Issue 7102, 2 March 1891, Page 3
EXECUTORS OF T. H. GREEN V. CHRISTCHURCH MEAT FREEZING CO. In this case the claim was for a sum of £470 0s 9d. Mr Martin for the plaintiffs; Mr G. Harper for the defendants. The statement of claim set forth that on May 4, 1890. Thomas Hillier Green, since deceased, sold his bacon curing business to the defendant Company for £518 ls 9d Application was made for settlement, but the Company took exception to prices amounting in the aggregate to £48 Is, thus reducing the total sum to £470 0s 9d. This reduction was agreed to, but a settlement had not been made. Green died on Sept. 23, 1890, and the executors under his will, R. H. Green and Andrews, now claimed for the sum of £470 0s 9d. The statement of defence was practically a denial of the allegations made in the statement of claim. Evidence having been heard plaintiff was nonsuited.

Thomas Hillier GREEN junior – Suicide in London [son of Thomas Hillier Green mentioned above].
Press, Volume L, Issue 8427, 9 March 1893, Page 3
“With reference to the announcement of the sad death of Mr Thos. Hillier Green, which was received by cable yesterday, we may mention that he was well known in Christchurch, he being the fourth son of the late Mr T. H. Green. Some few years ago he went to England to study medicine at the London University, and that fee was making good progress was evidenced by a letter written to his relatives in January in which he spoke in glowing terms of the bright prospects before him. On Saturday last his brother received a cable message stating that he was suffering from Smallpox, and there can be no doubt whatever but that his death was attributable to delirium developed by that dreadful disease. Mr Green was a young man of great promise. He gained a Government scholarship when he was eleven years of age, and two others before he was fourteen. At sixteen years of age he won the Gillies scholarship at Auckland, and took his B.A. degree during the currency of this scholarship. He was a senior University scholarship and gained his M.A. degree with first-class honours before he was twenty years of age. He went to England and matriculated at the London University, and passed his preliminary examination in science. At that examination he was the only student from the whole of the London Hospital that obtained honours. Since then he has passed every examination, and according to his last, expected, in a month or two, to qualify for his medical degree. He was twenty-three years of age, and was a great favourite among all who knew him. His unexpected death was a sad blow to his sorrowing relatives, and much sympathy is felt for them in their distress.”

The Divine Invasion by Philip K. Dick [528 - 2014-05-13 - novel]
comments by CR
If you need to know anything about Phil Dick (1928-82) before reading this book it's that he was confounded by thoughts theological, consumed vast quantities of drugs and used his fiction to sort his dreams and visions. Ok - here we go with a plot outline: God ("Yah"), was booted off Earth by the Romans, and had taken up residence on a remote methane-snow planet. When squatters from Earth arrive, Yah decides it's time to make a comeback as his own Messiah. So he contacts dome-dweller Herb Asher (who agrees to claim Yah's paternity); impregnates ailing neighbor Rybys Romney; and journeys to Earth in the latter's womb - a necessary subterfuge, since Earth is controlled by the Belial-inspired Christian-Islamic church and the Scientific Legate, with computer Big Noodle keeping tabs on everyone. Thus reborn on Earth as Emmanuel, Yah is helped by Elias Tate (who's Elijah reincarnated) and by girl-of-mystery Zina (who turns out to be the living embodiment of the Torah) to recover his powers and challenge Belial for the supremacy. With profusely, confused plotting in the Dick manner - though without any of the usual Dick playfulness - this is book destined, perhaps, to be muddled over by academics and the dedicated fan-boy; but it's far, far too weird to attract many mainstream readers in my oppinion - but I liked it. A difficult book to get into but hard to put down - must be that PKD magic at work!
There've been science-fiction novels with religious themes before (e.g., Blish's A Case of Conscience, Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz, Zelazny's Lord of Light), in fact it is a sub-genre of the field but none, to my knowledge, are as relentlessly theological in tone, texture, and import as this book.
"Divine Invasion"(1981) is book 2 in the VALIS series but it can most certainly be read as a stand-alone book.

My lovely friend Trisha was in Hull for the day so I met up with her and we had a couple of drinks in 80 Days Bierhaus.
I love a dog-friendly pub, and 80 Days had 2 canine visitors while we were in. So cute!

It was so good to be back in Lincoln for a weekend after missing it last year. We love Lincoln, it's such a beautiful city.
After the rams trail in Derby, in Lincn they had the Imps so over the weekend I got pics of them where I could. Lovely to see this around the place.
