14th March 1917. 4th Grenadier Guards.
My dearest mother,
I only received your most welcome letter from Clarges Street two days ago-mails have been taking a very long time lately to reach us.
What do you think of General Maude’s brilliant dash for Baghdad. How I wish I was in his army instead of being on this dreary front interminable desolation. We have as usual, the ever recurrent rumour that our division is going out to rest-I will believe it when it is a ‘fait accompli.’ I have recently been given the charge of all the divisional artillery-I dnt mind the extra work, but I would like it better if we had a change of scene. My little monkey of a horse has got sick, so I have to beg, borrow or steal in order to get an animal to take me about.
I am surprised you have been hearing rumours about the Huns retiring along a great portion of their front. I wonder what is going to happen. The only thing we know about it is that all leave is stopped-except, of course, for the staff. I find that I am entitled to ten days leave on the yearly renewal of contract. I have renewed mine, and I am going to apply for the leave. I don’t suppose I shall get it.
At long last I am easily able to repay you the £8-the remainder of a debt of some years standing-you advanced me some money for a window I was putting up at Downside. I have about £80 in the bank.
How glad I am to hear the picture looks so well-I wish I could see it.
Kindest messages to Gertie.
Your devoted son, Dick.

Been listeing a lot to Peter Gabriel lately. "Downside up" is a song of his, and I thought the title would fit this photo.

Ofscar Nurse Sr., right, keeps an eye on his siblings, Karen Nurse, 10,
center, and Alexander Nurse, 9, after a recreational tree climb at the
Autumn Harvest festival at the Pinellas Pioneer Settlement, Saturday
afternoon. In addition to tree climbs, the free celebration of autumn
featured hay rides, bobbing for apples and sack races as well as a
farmer's market with fresh pumpkins, fruits and vegetables.

A mask made by an anonymous teen at the detention center where I taught. I shot this sideways and don't remember which way was up...

Gravity is a given. Its anchor is a constant force within constant spin. By changing our physical orientation in space, we may fundamentally upend, well, just about everything.
For Downside Up, Kristin Geneve Young will lead participants in challenging their senses of vision, equilibrium and proprioception. Balance tests, climbing exercises and aerial inversions will be used to focus the senses throughout the walk, inviting the group to respond to overlooked pockets of Midtown.
