This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 21st May 2019 at 20:00. This race needs no introductions as it is is now firmly established on the Leinster road racing calendar with athletes travelling from all over the region to take part. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. It is one of the rare occasions around road racing circles these days where a very small club can organise a very successful large participation race. The attendance at this year's race exceeded all expectations. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 620 participants finishing the race following on from around 500 finishers last year. Popup Races were the official timing and event management partners of the race.

This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC. Na Fianna AC are typical of many rural sporting clubs who have a large catchment area which combines rural North Kildare and South Meath taking in Enfield, Rathmoylan, Johnstownbridge and Baconstown. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Indeed, not many road races are held in the same affection by runners as Bob's Race with runners returning back every year to sample the course and the wonderful atmosphere again. More rarely heard is runners reminiscing of running this race 15 or 20 years ago! What a fantastic endorsement of the race.
Indeed, we remember the days 16 years ago when this race was held in the village of Rathmoylan about 10 miles from the current venue. In those days the race was deemed a success if 75 to 100 runners made the start line. What a testimony to the hard work of Na Fianna AC today's race is! The weather was perfect for road racing - hardly any wind and warm temperatures - with bright hazy sunshine.
The race is part of the Popup Races KIA Race Series. The race is also part of the annual Meath AAI Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants. The course is very fast and flat - it is a one loop course which is left-handed in terms of turns. Indeed some parts of the route between 2 and 4 K have been resurfaced recently adding a flat smooth track like surface to this section. The prize giving and refreshments for runners is provided in the Nightclub section of the Hamlet Court Hotel.
3 x Fillport fittings that I'll use for drain line and internally to connect to the pump in the lower part of the case.
Long haired ones will have some trouble keeping the hair straight, usage of a plastic sleeve on the hair helps a lot for them. There`s no problem with her fitting in sizewise though.
Top needs some work. It's only pinned here, but you can see it's too much fabric, the proportions are incorrect. The two pieces {top and bottom} will be connected.
Fitting that the man who made the engine famous & was even involved in one of the previous attempts to restore it is seen in the background. 1-13-19

Detail of the nave ceiling at Peterborough Cathedral (a fitting image for today's hung parliament election result!).
The late Romanesque / early medieval nave ceiling is a unique survival in England, an almost flat timber surface retaining its original painted decoration (completed in the early 13th century, c1230) for its entire length, consisting of a pattern of lozenges containing vignettes of mostly allegorical and symbolic figures (some of the subjects seemingly quite random following no real sequence). The painting has however undergone at least two major restoration in the 18th and 19th centuries which involved overpainting much of the original surface, so that whilst the effect is much as it presumably always was the detail of the figures often betrays the blurring hand of the restorer (a few figures appear to be almost entirely crude 18th century work, whilst others clearly follow the medieval designs more closely).
Peterborough Cathedral is one of England's finest buildings, an almost complete Romanesque church on an impressive scale sitting behind one of the most unique and eccentric Gothic facades found anywhere in medieval Europe. The church we see today is little altered since its completion in the 13th century aside from inevitable 19th century restorations and the serious depradations of Civil War damage in the mid 17th century.
The bulk of the church is 12th century Norman, retaining even its apse (a rarity in England) and even the original flat wooden ceilings of nave and transept. The nave ceiling retains its early medieval painted decoration with an assortment of figures set within lozenge shaped panels (mostly overpainted in the 18th and 19th centuries but the overall effect is preserved). The 13th century west facade is the most dramatic and memorable feature of the building, with three vast Gothic arches forming a giant porch in front of the building, a unique design, flanked by small spires and intended to be surmounted by two pinnacled towers rising just behind the facade, though only that on the north side was finished (and originally surmounted by a wooden spire which was removed c1800). The central tower is a surprisingly squat structure of 14th century date (with a striking vaulted ceiling within) and along with its counterpart at the west end makes surprisingly little presence on the city's skyline for such an enormous building. The final addition to the church prior to the Reformation is the ambulatory around the apse, a superb example of late medieval perpendicular with a stunning fan-vaulted ceiling.
Given the vast scale of the building it is perhaps surprising to learn that it has only had cathedral status since 1541, prior to that it had been simply Peterborough Abbey, but it was one of the most well endowed monastic houses in the country, as witnessed by the architecture. It was once the burial place of two queens, Katherine of Aragon lies on the north side of the choir and Mary Queen of Scots was originally interred here before her son James I had her body moved to the more prestigious surroundings of Westminster.
Sadly the cathedral suffered miserably during the Civil War when Parliamentarian troops ransacked the church and former monastic buildings in an orgy of destruction, much of which was overseen by Cromwell himself in person (which helps explain its thoroughness). Tombs and monuments were brutally defaced, and nearly all the original furnishings and woodwork were destroyed, along with every bit of stained glass in all the vast windows (only the merest fragments remain today in the high windows of the apse). Worse still, the delightful cloisters on the south side, once famed for the beauty of their painted windows, were demolished leaving only their outer walls and some tantalising reminders of their former richness. The magnificent 13th century Lady Chapel attached to the north transept (an unusual arrangement, similar to that at Ely) was another major casualty, demolished immediately after the war so that its materials could be sold in order to raise funds for the restoration of the cathedral following the Cromwellian rampage.
In the following centuries much was done to repair the building and bring it back into order. There were major restorations during the 19th century, which included the dismantling and rebuilding of the central tower (following the same design and reusing original material) owing to impending structural failure in the crossing piers.
What we see today is thus a marvel of architecture, a church of great beauty, but a somewhat hollow one owing to the misfortunes of history. One therefore doesn't find at Peterborough the same clutter of the centuries that other cathedrals often possess (in terms of tombs and furnishings) and there are few windows of real note, but for the grandeur of its architecture it is one of the very finest churches we have.

A Gaudi designed brass fitting. Not quite sure what it is. But it looks nice, and the shadow gave in an interesting something extra.
I have progress! This is after a good three hours of tissue fitting. My, but this is a time consuming process.
On the back:
* 1/2 inch high round back adjustment, standard for me.
* 1/2 inch in a broad back adjustment, trying to bring the center back to my center back.
* 1 inch to the side back piece at the waist, ultimately eliminating the curve at the waist while retaining the same line and proportion at the hem.
On the front:
* 1 1/2 inch Full Bust Adjustment (FBA)
* 1 1/2 inch center front full bust adjustment, by slashing and spreading the piece open to add width across the bust and to the waist
* 1 inch wide waist adjustment, using the same method as used for the back
I WISH WISH WISH I had followed my instinct and done a full three inch FBA at once, because in the second tissue fit the princess seam is still about an inch and a half outside of my apex. Current concerns are that the back is still not big enough, but I plan to wait until the fabric muslin to decide whether to add more room. I am also only cautiously optimistic that the second bust adjustments will do what it needs to do. The 1 1/2 inches today worked wonders, so I have hope, but then again, this bust of mine gives me fits.

So after the fitting (and 55 f'in dollars later), we headed down to Nordstroms Rack to get cheap, but well-fitted bras. Basically, 3 for the price of that first one. My jugs are happy riding where they are, but did get in the way a little.
Not all of that is me.. just 3/4 of it.
