I got up early and went to yoga, and in the afternoon we viewed a place near Rupert skytrain station, which was pretty good (new gas stove, big living room, double-paned windows) but has new carpets, very little storage space, and said 'no pets' so we'd have to fight on that front. We didn't fill out an application but told her we'd get in touch after viewing some more places. Jeff & I went grocery shopping and made spicy capocollo & pineapple pizza for dinner. I made an apple spice cake to bring to Laryssa's birthday (she encouraged people last year to bring cakes and ended up with 11, and was hoping to top that this year).
Around 8 we headed over to Flatland for the party. I always love the vibe there for parties, small as the house is— keg of beer in the bathtub, people smoking on the porch, food on the kitchen table, dancing in the living room, making friends with strangers, sharing joints. The music was late to start (as expected) but Katie's set was lovely, and Chrisariffic played his unique brand of comedic keyboard tunes. Mikey, Laryssa's boyfriend, played an absolutely amazing set of... I guess acid jazz? He had some beats and samples playing and a reverb on the mic hooked up to his saxaphone. Whatever you call it, it was unlike anything I'd ever heard and it was totally entrancing. Then we cut into the cakes (there were "only" 9, sadly) — my fav was a vegan blueberry and lemon cheesecake with lemon curd, but the chocolate espresso layer cake was also really good. We stayed for a bit of Devours, which Sarah was really enjoying (she's big on d&b/electronic) and wanted to stay for Mark Mills but it was getting quite late, the space was very full, and we were tired (plus I didn't want to be there when the cops inevitably came by for noise complaints). 112/365.
It's serviceberry season and the birds, especially the robins, are eating them as fast as they can. We have a bumper crop this year. One year a family of cedar waxwings cleaned out all the berries in less than an hour. The serviceberry is a native plant in Missouri, a great tree for birds. Box turtles love them too.
There are a lot of seed poops in the garden...

Satan sits in the corner as a composite beast in chains with a fish-like head receiving lost souls through its wide open maw, whilst below his torso bears a second monstrous face, a frequent feature of medieval devils suggesting the seat of their intelligence being misplaced for their lower appetites. His right hand bears a trident-like sceptre.
Detail of the lower half of the west window depicting the Last Judgement. The Last Judgement is Fairford's most celebrated window for its dramatic composition and graphic depiction of the horrors of hell in the lower half. The window sadly suffered badly during the great storm of 1703 with the upper half depicting Christ in Judgement and the surrounding company of saints and angels the most seriously affected part.
The lower half depicts Archangel Michael at the centre with the elect entering Heaven to the left and the damned being condemned to Hell on the right. This depiction of Hell is renowned for its exotic demons dragging their victims to the red glow of hellfire, culminating in the monstrous soul-devouring figure of Satan seated in the bottom right hand corner.
St Mary's at Fairford is justly famous, not only as a most beautiful building architecturally but for the survival of its complete set of late medieval stained glass, a unique survival in an English parish church. No other church has resisted the waves of iconoclasm unleashed by the Reformation and the English Civil War like Fairford has, and as a result we can experience a pre-Reformation iconographic scheme in glass in its entirety. At most churches one is lucky to find mere fragments of the original glazing and even one complete window is an exceptional survival, thus a full set of 28 of them here in a more or less intact state makes Fairford church uniquely precious.
The exterior already promises great things, this is a handsome late 15th century building entirely rebuilt in Perpendicular style and dedicated in 1497. The benefactor was lord of the manor John Tame, a wealthy wool merchant whose son Edmund later continued the family's legacy in donating the glass. The central tower is adorned with much carving including strange figures guarding the corners and a rather archaic looking relief of Christ on the western side. The nave is crowned by a fine clerestorey whilst the aisles below form a gallery of large windows that seem to embrace the entire building without structural interruption aside from the south porch and the chancel projecting at the east end. All around are pinnacles, battlements and gargoyles, the effect is very rich and imposing for a village church.
One enters through the fan-vaulted porch and is initially met by subdued lighting within that takes a moment to adjust to but can immediately appreciate the elegant arcades and the rich glowing colours of the windows. The interior is spacious but the view east is interrupted by the tower whose panelled walls and arches frame only a glimpse of the chancel beyond. The glass was inserted between 1500-1517 and shows marked Renaissance influence, being the work of Flemish glaziers (based in Southwark) under the direction of the King's glazier Barnard Flower. The quality is thus of the highest available and suggests the Tame family had connections at court to secure such glaziers.
Entering the nave one is immediately confronted with the largest and most famous window in the church, the west window with its glorious Last Judgement, best known for its lurid depiction of the horrors of Hell with exotic demons dragging the damned to their doom. Sadly the three windows in the west wall suffered serious storm damage in 1703 and the Last Judgement suffered further during an 1860 restoration that copied rather than restored the glass in its upper half. The nave clerestories contain an intriguing scheme further emphasising the battle of Good versus Evil with a gallery of saintly figures on the south side balanced by a 'rogue's gallery' of persecutors of the faith on the darker north side, above which are fabulous demonic figures leering from the traceries.
The aisle windows form further arrays of figures in canopies with the Evangelists and prophets on the north side and the Apostles and Doctors of the Church on the south. The more narrative windows are mainly located in the eastern half of the church, starting in the north chapel with an Old Testament themed window followed by more on the life of Mary and infancy of Christ. The subject matter is usually confined to one light or a pair of them, so multiple scenes can be portrayed within a single window. The scheme continues in the east window of the chancel with its scenes of the Passion of Christ in the lower register culminating in his crucifixion above, while a smaller window to the south shows his entombment and the harrowing of Hell. The cycle continues in the south chapel where the east window shows scenes of Christ's resurrection and transfiguration whilst two further windows relate further incidents culminating in Pentecost. The final window in the sequence however is of course the Last Judgement at the west end.
The glass has been greatly valued and protected over the centuries from the ravages of history, being removed for protection during the Civil War and World War II. The windows underwent a complete conservation between 1988-2010 by the Barley Studio of York which bravely restored legibility to the windows by sensitive releading and recreating missing pieces with new work (previously these had been filled with plain glass which drew the eye and disturbed the balance of light). The most dramatic intervention was the re-ordering of the westernmost windows of the nave aisles which had been partially filled with jumbled fragments following the storm damage of 1703 but have now been returned to something closer to their original state.
It is important here not to neglect the church's other features since the glass dominates its reputation so much. The chancel also retains its original late medieval woodwork with a fine set of delicate screens dividing it from the chapels either side along with a lovely set of stalls with carved misericords. The tomb of the founder John Tame and his wife can be seen on the north side of the sanctuary with their brasses atop a tomb chest. Throughout the church a fine series of carved angel corbels supports the old oak roofs.
Fairford church is a national treasure and shouldn't be missed by anyone with a love of stained glass and medieval art. It is normally kept open for visitors and deserves more of them.
My last capture of this favorite subject. A bit of this farm equipment is visible on the opposite side. Each visit the hub sinks a bit deeper into the tree trunk

Take away this pain

This photograph was taken in the year 2006 in the month of December.
One evening getting extremely bored I asked my husband to take me to Clifton, a beach by the Arabian Sea. We hadn't been to the beach for quite sometime so it was a pleasant retreat from the monotonous lifestyle of those days.
The beach was rather crowded with many people, mostly children, couples and families strolling up and down the beach and enjoying themselves.
I was pleasantly surprised and thought to myself…These people have found time to come out of their houses for a stroll on the beach from faraway places, why am I not availing this activity myself any longer?
The beach is there for everyone, young and old, rich or poor…lets hope it stays this way and is not consumed by the greedy real-estate barons who are bent upon devouring every bit of Karachi's coastline for their commercial (mis-ad)ventures.
