Johnathon Bernard managed to keep the shit eating grin of epic win off his face as he grunted and took the card, stuffing it into an overstuffed pouch. He'd curse and hold up the pin to a frag grenade, "oh shit...."
Allissa Coswell looks towards Dani and nods "Yea til Anna told her not to come near me anymore. though the kitten was on the hotel over hang dropping balloons on people"
Gimme Lockjaw sighs, lowering her hand as she hears Kat's comment. She idly twirls her long blonde strands around her slender fingers... Gim would giggle at the comment Kat made bout the man having to pick a fight with a lilttle girl. It made her feel better about not hurting him. She figured maybe he was slow. "How sad, " She mumbles.
Allissa Coswell looks at Bernard as he says oh shit and waits for his dumb ass to start patting himself down, strip and toss or just pale when the timer of whatever it was went off in his pants
Shadowkat Wrigglesworth looks over towars Bernard as she noticed the grenade pin and just blinked really slow. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked really slow as she rolled her eyes lightly.
Daniella Svoboda looks at Evie with surprise. "She did?" Of course, that made a certain deal of sense on Anna's part, but never mind, she thought. "I ... I'm sorry about that, hon. I'll talk to her about that. I'm in your debt. " She sighs. "While we're at it I should probably apologize for shootin' you th' other day. Turns out you really weren't tryin' t' hurt Damien after all, I was told."
Johnathon Bernard licked his lips slowly as he reached into that same pocket and produce a frag grenade and igh, spoon still attached he'd thread the pin back into the hole and bend the fucker in place. Sheepishly grinning before spinnign the granade by the now reattached pin, "don't worry.. I got it..."
Shadowkat Wrigglesworth blinks slowly watching Bernard with the granade. "What the hell are you doing walking around with a granade?" She asked him, "I mean really...you're getting yelled at throwing a granade and then accidentally pulled the pin out?! How the hell did you get into the UAC?" Then she thinks about the guy from earlier. "Well...clearly, they don't do IQ tests."
Allissa Coswell laughs "Oh I can answer that....but I won't huh poptart?" she shakes her head watching him swing the grenades around "Self preservation first...."
Johnathon Bernard offers the grenade to Kat with a smirk, "It's a fake anyways. I was just hoping the four of you woudl scatter and leave my to my drinking in peace...." He was still trying to figure out what part of Bernard was clinicaly insane she hadn't figured out yet.
Shadowkat Wrigglesworth narrows her eyes towards the grenade and took it from him. She would then since he said it was a fake, throw it at his head. The tiger really needed to learn to stop throwing things at people's heads...she was bound to give someone a concussion.
Last night I managed to get a bit of film footage of one of the young Hedgehogs who visit my garden to feed. It was about 9.15 and the light was fading fast but it came out reasonably ok. As you'll see this one...like most of them...has a huge preference for mealworms. They do eat the peanuts and sultanas, but always take the mealworms first before any of the others can get them no doubt! At the end of this you'll see the youngster run into one of the two Hedgehog houses in the garden...he then has a rest before coming out for the next course:)
The Art Stations along Line 1 of the underground in Naples, managed by ANM, are the result of a project by the municipal administration in Naples. They have inaugurated a new way of devising transit areas which combines architecture and art.
The main purpose of the Art Stations is to preserve the crucial points of the urban transportation’s network from the anonymity and the homogeneity that usually characterizes stations, airports, highways.
The architectures were designed by internationally famous designers such as Àlvaro Siza, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Dominique Perrault, Oscar Tusquets, Karim Rashid, Gae Aulenti, Alessandro Mendini.
Each station has its own stylistic features and was designed specifically for the area it would serve. The designers were also assigned the task of redesigning the surrounding street system and furniture, bringing to new life areas previously abandoned and so doing a strong social requalification and aesthetic rehabilitation were brought about in large areas of the urban fabric.
At the same time, under the artistic coordination by Achille Bonito Oliva, more than 250 works of art by 80 protagonists of contemporary art have been placed inside and outside the stations. There are site-specific paintings, sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, photographs and installations directly commissioned to internationally famous artists.
This strategy aims to improve citizen’s quality of life, not only in physical but also in moral and intellectual terms, and to make the use of public transportation a more attractive experience.

Catch Report - 22/05/12 - Bayfordbury University Grounds
An excellent 41 species of moth I managed to record in 2 hours of trapping from 10pm til 12am at the University grounds inbetween adjacent woodland.
The cream of the crop was a stunning Great Prominent, a first for me and one I was hoping to see at this site, having previously been recorded by Shaun Dowman at this site last year.
It literally flew in as I was packing up! a stroke of luck I would say!
Great to see more species on the wing, Broken-barred Carpet is always nice to get and a new micro was also added to my life list.
The next few nights look just as balmy, the trap was out last night in the garden and yielded a good haul, more updates on that soon.
Tonight I plan to camp out at a wood in Harlow with a few other guys to put some records on paper for a newly trapped woodland, so every record we get will be new.
The weather continues to rise to 26c+ and dropping no less than 12c at night ,with the hottest day of the expected today.

I have for many years wanted to see the very old little church known today as “la Madelène de Bédoin”. In 2021, all I had managed to gather was a glimpse of its lovely bell tower. A brief chat with the owner of what is now a private property allowed me to understand that he was then having guests and that intruding upon the party with photographic equipment to document his Romanesque chapel was not appropriate.
Since then, I tried many different ways to approach either the family or the usual “Friends of the Chapel” non-profit organization in order to weave my way through and into the property, to no avail. In the Fall of 2024, while preparing for our October trip to Provence, I tried again, and that time I struck pay dirt; all obstacles were removed, all doors and barriers were opening, and even our schedule aligned with that of the owners, through the cordial welcome of one of their daughters. May she be thanked! I will say no more.
The Provençal village of Bédoin is located roughly between Vaison-la-Romaine and Carpentras, in the shade of Mount Ventoux, “the Giant of Provence”. No one knows why this little church, set in a quiet vale of olive trees a stone’s throw from the village itself, is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, but this couldn’t have happened prior to the 12th century, which is when the cult of that particular saint spread through Provence. The church is quite a bit older, and seems to have been dedicated to Saint Peter before. Indeed, one of the oldest parchments kept in the archives of the Benedictine abbey of Montmajour, dated around 960–70, mentions a deed of gift of several churches of the village of Bédoin to the abbey that had then just been founded by Teucindus in 947 or 949; among them was a so-named Saint Peter of Monastrol (which means “small monastery”), and that one was dubbed “the most important church outside the village of Bédoin” —hence, obviously, the one we know today as La Madelène, with this unusual spelling typical of Provence.
Having become a priory of Montmajour, Bédoin had, in turn, several “sub-priories” depending from it. All of them were joined in 1502 by a papal bull to the chapter of canons of the Carpentras Cathedral, probably following the monastic decadence subsequent to the in commendam placement of the abbey. Saint Peter was thus brought down to the level of a simple rural priory. It was probably then that the church’s dedication was changed to that of Magdalene.
Then came the ravages of the French Revolution, which proved exceptionally violent in Bédoin, but left our little church in a comparatively not too bad state. In 1970, a small community of Benedictine monks restored monastic life in Bédoin, but the monastery, in need of more space than was available, was transferred to the nearby village of Le Barroux in 1980 and the property was sold to the family that stills currently owns it.
Listed as a Historic Landmark in 1947, the priory church of La Madelène was built around Year 1000, with the top floor of its bell tower slightly more recent (around 1070–90). It is a charming example of the so-called “First Romanesque Art”, a squat little church of basilical floor plan with only two rows, yet three naves and three semi-circular apses. Like most edifices of the early Romanesque age, the walls are much thicker than necessary, and the windows are scarce and narrow.
Access to the church nowadays is via a narrow, barrel-arched doorway opened in the southern side wall, but that opening must be recent, judging by the aspect of the archivolt.

Managed half an hour or so at Sefton Park Liverpool during my dinner break. Very grey and dull though. Massive iso on this one.
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[3]
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Piers Legh and his wife Margaret D'anyers, by letters patent dated January 4, 1398, by Richard II, son of the Black Prince. Margaret D'anyers' grandfather, Sir Thomas D'anyers, had taken part in retrieving the standard of the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks a year by the Black Prince, drawn on his Cheshire estate, and which could be exchanged for land of that value belonging to the Black Prince. Sir Thomas died in 1354, and the annuity passed to his nearest surviving kin, his granddaughter Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397, and the estate of Lyme Handley in 1398 redeeming the annuity. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.[6]
When in 1415 Sir Piers Legh II was wounded in the Battle of Agincourt, his mastiff stood over and protected him for many hours through the battle. The mastiff was later returned to Legh's home and was the foundation of the Lyme Hall Mastiffs. They were bred at the hall and kept separate from other strains, figuring prominently in founding the modern breed. The strain died out around the beginning of the 20th century.[7][8]
The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century.[5] This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes.[3] While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles.[2] During the latter part of the 18th century Piers Legh XIII bought most of the furniture which is in the house today. However, the family fortunes declined and the house began to deteriorate. In the early 19th century the estate was owned by Thomas Legh, who commissioned Lewis Wyatt to restore the house between 1816 and 1822. Wyatt's alterations were mainly to the interior, where he remodelled every room.[9] Leoni had intended to add a cupola to the south range but this never materialised.[10] Instead, Wyatt added a tower-like structure (a hamper) to provide bedrooms for the servants. He also added a one-storey block to the east range, containing a dining-room.[2] Later in the century William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added stables and other buildings to the estate, and created the Dutch Garden.[9] Further alterations were made to the gardens by Thomas Legh, 2nd Baron Newton and his wife during the early 20th century.[11] In 1946 Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton, gave Lyme Park to the National Trust.wikipedia
