Continuing the campaign to attract more families to Stockton-on-Tees using the theme of Sci-Fi and family fun days Whoray planned a slightly more ambitious event than previous years, the Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
At Wellington Square, Whoray Shop in association with Hunter-Toys hosted Dr Who, Star Wars & movie-related costumers who patrolled the shopping centre, while one of their empty units hosted a collectors' fair of sci-fi & TV/movie related stalls.

Brian taking Bentley for his First Walk Ever. Bentley enjoyed himself, and we've continued taking him for walks, but only at night. There's too much activity during the day and this upsets him. As a side note, Brian is about 6 feet tall - Now look again at the cat. ^_^
I really like this picture because growing up I would always see this guy outside my window at night at around 3 AM, wrapped up in a bathrobe and dutifully walking this little spaniel up and down the street. This just reminds me of that... And I think it's amazingly funny.
The disk is 2" wide. The wires were all but one little one bent in previous session. Getting them affixed to the disk was a real trial - featherweight pieces flying off and otherwise going astray - still a few to go. But these are the most important. Fjorlief was again a lifesaver.
Some interesting? issues have to do with the fact that per past notes it was a 2.25" disk, while we decided it was more of a 2" disk, but probably it was 2.25 (but didn't have to be.) That means when wires were placed, we ended up with a lot less "room for blue background " (which is acceptable...) also, more importantly, turned out that one of the hose pieces was a bit too short to reach the end of disk. We cut another piece 'l shaped' (well right angle shaped) and set it down right next to the short piece with the right angle piece along the edge of the disk. That was enough to keep it in place and when we get to sanding down the disk at the end of the process we will take that part off. No worries. We hope. Also the nose is not quite in the right place (that isn't too awful ... placing these pieces again being a booger) and the pieces for the wavy bib lines were a bit of a disaster in placement - so these are the 'important' pieces and I will fill in as makes sense next time.
Colors will be: white 1000, orange == marigold 1930, blue = cobalt 1685, black = either opaque black 1996 (usual but running low) or hard fusing black 1249 (which looks pretty good as the reverse of the ginkgo leaf piece in work now.) I had originally planned a pink nose but on reflection esp since the nose is not ideal here I will keep it orange w the rest of that fur.
I continued my Burwell take away journeys for this image. The Chinese in Burwell is a bit of a weird one, you could order everything on the menu and somehow it will still only take 10 minutes, a chip butty is cheaper than chips and a bread roll, yet you get the same amount, and also they spell it chip butte...

I had a few days in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada while visiting family and friends. We had a great time playing games and enjoying meals, including a wonderful wing night at Wild Wings. During spare time, it was a pleasure to continue my exploration of historic Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada. This shows one of the beautiful Victorian style homes across the Mississippi River and downtown Carleton Place.
Chartwells and District 99 mobilized on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 to deliver meals to those in need. We will continue to do so through April.

In the heart of the arid, sun-scorched land of the Little Rann of Kutch, a tradition that spans centuries continues to thrive: the life of the Agariya people, the traditional salt farmers. These resilient men and women have been harvesting salt from the vast salt marshes of Gujarat, India, for generations. Their lives are intricately intertwined with the land and its seasonal rhythms, a delicate balance of nature, labor, and cultural heritage.
The Little Rann of Kutch, a desolate expanse of land, becomes a shimmering salt desert during the dry season. The Agariya community has developed an intimate relationship with this barren landscape, one that requires patience, skill, and an intimate knowledge of the natural environment. Their work begins in the heat of the summer, when the land is dry, and the evaporation of water leaves behind the precious salt crystals that the Agariyas painstakingly harvest.
In the early morning, before the sun rises to its unforgiving peak, the Agariya men and women venture out into the salt marshes, often barefoot, the soles of their feet accustomed to the harsh terrain. They begin the process of creating the salt pans by digging shallow pools in the earth, allowing the brine that seeps from the ground to accumulate. Over time, the salty water evaporates under the harsh sun, leaving behind salt crystals that can be harvested. It is a painstakingly slow process that takes months, and every step is done by hand: from the creation of the salt pans to the collection of the harvested salt.
The Agariya community is deeply connected to this labor-intensive process, and their lives revolve around it. The rhythm of their work is determined by the changing seasons. During the monsoon season, the marsh is flooded, and the salt harvesting ceases. But when the rains end, the cycle begins anew. Each year, they move in and out of the Rann, living in temporary shelters made of thatch and mud, and bringing their families along for the work. It is a family affair, with each member contributing in some way. Children grow up learning the techniques of salt farming, passing down the knowledge from one generation to the next.
The Agariyas are known for their remarkable ability to endure the intense heat and the harsh conditions of the Rann. The work is grueling—days spent in the hot sun, often with little rest, and their hands and feet calloused from the constant contact with the salt. The salt also takes a toll on their bodies, leaving their skin chapped and cracked, but they persist, for the salt is their livelihood.
Despite the hardships, there is a quiet dignity in their work. Salt is a vital commodity, and the Agariyas' labor supplies it not just for local consumption, but for global trade. The salt they harvest is not just an essential ingredient for food preservation and cooking, but a vital component of many industries—chemical production, pharmaceuticals, and even de-icing roads in colder countries.
The lives of the Agariyas are also marked by their distinctive culture and traditions. Their language, clothing, and festivals reflect the harsh yet vibrant life of the Kutch region. The Agariyas have their own social structure and community life, where cooperation and mutual support are essential. Despite the isolation of their work, they have maintained a close-knit community, where elders are revered, and customs are passed down carefully through the generations.
Over time, the Agariya people have faced challenges: the changing landscape of industrialization, government regulations, and the encroachment of modern farming practices. The advent of mechanized salt production has also threatened their traditional way of life, as large-scale industries take over the business of salt harvesting.
However, despite these challenges, the Agariyas' bond with the land remains unbroken. In recent years, efforts to preserve their way of life have emerged, with some organizations helping the community adapt to new circumstances while keeping their traditional practices alive. The Agariya way of life is not just about harvesting salt—it is a testament to resilience, tradition, and an unyielding connection to the land.
The story of the Agariya people in the Little Rann of Kutch is a quiet, enduring narrative of survival, cultural identity, and the deep bond between human labor and nature. For centuries, they have been the unsung keepers of a precious resource, working in the desolate wilderness of Kutch, and in doing so, they have carved out a legacy that is as vast and enduring as the salt they harvest.
