Me and Kevin, who managed the Cheapo Records store on Lake Street near Uptown in Minneapolis. I used to call him Linus because, swear to God, he looked like Linus, and he called me Lucy because I was bitching all the time. A regular customer (it could have been Dan, Cody's dad) thrifted these sweatshirts for us.
1991, Minneapolis. I look so young.

Here it another hamster story: our little baby named Angel managed to escape from her cage upstairs in the attic (it is a rather large and nice well equipped attic). I could not find her. Yesterday we heard some strange noise in my daughter’s room… kinda scratching and screeching… coming from the ceiling! We kept wondering what is going on… then this face showed up in the hole in the ceiling… Angel chewed her way from the second floor to the first floor, made a passage… amazing… very spirited and strong willed tiny creature… so we had to wait until she was done with her hole in the ceiling… then I got her… she bit my finger…. She was fighting for her freedom… and a chance to live where she lived before on the first floor in my daughter’s room… hamsters are not pets… they should live in the wild…

I managed to get out to Buckstones and Wessenden Head on Saturday after work. Fridays snow was still lying on the tops and I wanted to test a second hand 17mm TSE lens that I had bought the day before. The corner sharpness is supposed to be fantastic. I didn't want to use the shift, just to get some sharp colourful shots. The Wessenden Head shots are all taken with my usual 25-104-which doesn't have sharp corners! the sun was setting behind the cloud in the west but there was plenty of colour. It was bitterly cold and all of a sudden there were three of us with cameras chasing the light.the other two guys had tripods but I like my freedom....
Man flu: day three.
Coming out the other side.
Or so I hope.
I woke at nearly eight in the morning. Jools had put all the bins out before going to yoga.
I just had to get myself up and make coffee.
Which I manage.
Just.
So much for going to the gym this morning. Too much sleep, and soon the coughing restarted.
Bugger.
I make a second brew, and as usual, Jools has heard the kettle boiling and arrives back home.
After breakfast, Jools does some gardening, while I have a shower ready to go out.
It was the second visit of my churchcrawling group, and I would be taking the group to St Augustine's Abbey before walking up the hill to St Martin.
I had been honest with the members about the ten minute walk from the car park to the church, and then several steps up to St Martin, so half the group said they wouldn't be attending, then two more bailed during the week. One that morning, so I hoped the two remaining would turn up.
Back into Canterbury, but this time sticking to the speed limit, parking opposite the Abbey entrance.
There was time to find a place for a snack, but the café we usually went to had closed in August. But one thing you're not short of in Canterbury is a place to eat.
Two right turns brought me back to Longport, and a cafe offering 12 choices, at least, of set breakfasts.
I settled for sausage and bacon baguette and a mug of builder's tea.
I looked at my watch, eeek, I should have been at the Abbey.
I pay and walk out, and there is a lady pacing up and down. She sees me a waves.
Her husband is there too, which means the whole group, the three of us, had arrived.
We go into the Abbey and we look at and through the ruins of the Abbey church, before walking over to the ruin of St Pancras, a church built from recycled Roman bricks, though just one wall and the east wall of the Chancel still stand, though the brilliance of the craftsman could still be admired.
On the wall of the Apse of the Abbey, traces of wall painting could still be made out, having lasted almost 1,000 years.
We were done in an hour, so had a drink from the shop, then sat outside talking, which was al very pleasant.
At quarter to three, we walk up the hill to St Martin, as beside us rush hour traffic built.
I had arranged a tour, which I didn't realised meant that the church closed, and we had the church to ourselves, along with our guide.
After entering, the gates to the porch were closed, and the church was ours.
For an hour.
Our guide talked us through the history of the Kentish Saxon Kings, and that of Queen Bertha and the return of Christianity to fair Albion.
We swapped bits of history and features the other didn't know, which was a surprise.
A small window in the west wall was described a a "squint for leppers.
As there was a large lepper hospital the other side of the city, I thought this unlikely, and perhaps was a window for an anchorite's cell, a thing the guide had not heard of before.
We walked round the church, features and stories pointed out, and so in an hour we were done.
A walk round the outside of the church, seeing the Roman bricks that were used in the church's construction.
And we were done.
We walk back down to the car park, say goodbye, and we leave.
In order to avoid the traffic on the Old Dover Road, I went left the city on the Sandwich Road, but encountered yet more roadworks and roads closed.
I thought i would go via Deal, and find a chippy with parking outside, so I could get tea.
On the Strand there were parking spaces, so I nipped over to buy battered sausage and chips for two, the scuttled back to the car and home.
Jools had made brews, so we sat down to eat, getting through barely half the mountain of chips.
Jools now has the cold/flu, so we went to bed early full of drugs in the hope we might sleep.

Historically, this is the most important church in Kent. St Martin's is the building in which Queen Bertha and St Augustine worshipped together in the closing years of the sixth century, making it the oldest parish church in England that is still in use. Furthermore it is built of large quantities of Roman tile mixed with local flint and ragstone. The exterior shows typical Saxon buttresses and long and short work, but there are no Saxon window openings still in use. However, the west wall inside has been stripped of plaster which allows us to see very early blocked windows. Apart from the great age of the walls there is little of visual interest - with a fourteenth-century tower at the west end and a rather severe atmosphere resulting from the drastic nineteenth-century restoration that saw the insertion of dreadful 'catalogue' stained glass. Were it not for the early history of this church the font would be its outstanding feature. It is of Norman date and is carved from a large block of Caen stone. Tall, solid, and eminently decorative it has intersecting circlets in two lower levels, and arcading of Romanesque arches above, topped by a rim of rolling swags. As a complete contrast to these earl treasures the churchyard contains the grave of Mary Tourtel, creator of Rupert Bear.

St Martin’s is the oldest church in continuous use in the English-speaking world. Click here to see the Timeline of St. Martin's
The oldest part of St Martin’s church was built during the Roman occupation of Britain. It is uncertain whether at first the building was a church, a mausoleum, or something else.
Bertha was a Christian princess from Tours, in France. About AD 580 she married Ethelbert of Kent, who was a pagan Anglo-Saxon. Ethelbert restored St Martin’s for her, and she prayed here regularly. Ethelbert became king of Kent and ‘over-king’ of all the kingdoms northwards to the River Humber (200 miles to the north).
Augustine was a Benedictine monk in Rome. He arrived here in AD 597 with 40 companions, including Roman monks and Frankish interpreters, to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. St Martin’s was Augustine’s first base for his mission. “Here they first began to assemble, to sing the psalms, to pray, to celebrate mass, to preach and to baptize, until the king was converted to the faith and gave them greater freedom to preach and to build and restore churches everywhere.” (Bede’s Ecclesiastical History, AD 731).
Bede writes of the enormous impact made by the message of Jesus, by the holy lives of the monks, and by miracles which confirmed the message. “Great numbers gathered each day to hear the word of God, forsaking their heathen rites and entering the unity of Christ’s holy church as believers.” Pope Gregory, who had sent Augustine from Rome, wrote to Augustine telling him not to become swollen-headed because of the extraordinary things that God had chosen to do through him.
Needing more space, they extended St Martin’s to nearly its present size, using Roman building methods and reusing some Roman bricks. The largest part of the building (the nave) was the first Anglo Saxon structure made of mortared brick and stone instead of wood. Ethelbert soon granted Augustine more land in Canterbury, where he founded the Abbey and the Cathedral. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. He died in AD 604 and was buried in the Abbey.
The east end of St Martin’s church was extended in the 12-13th centuries and substantially altered in the 19th century. The church tower was added in the 14th century. It has three bells, the largest of which was made in 1393.
St Martin’s remains in use for Christian worship, prayer and mission, as it has done ever since Augustine arrived in the 6th century.

The Church of St Martin in Canterbury, England, situated slightly beyond the city centre, is the first church founded in England, the oldest parish church in continuous use and the oldest church in the entire English-speaking world. As such, it is recognised, along with Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine's Abbey, as part of a World Heritage Site. Since 1668 the church has been part of the benefice of St Martin and St Paul Canterbury. Both St Martin's and nearby St Paul's churches are used for weekly services. The current rector of the parish is the Revd Canon Noelle Hall.
St Martin's was the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent in the 6th century before Augustine arrived from Rome. Queen Bertha was a Christian Frankish princess who arrived in England with her Chaplain, Bishop Liudhard. King Æthelberht of Kent, her pagan husband, allowed her to continue to practise her religion by renovating (ca. AD 580) an existing church which the Venerable Bede says had been in use in the late Roman period but had fallen into disuse. As Bede specifically names it, this church was dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, a city located near where Bertha grew up.
Upon Augustine's arrival he used St Martin's as his mission headquarters, immediately enlarging it (AD 597), and King Æthelberht was soon baptised here. With the quickly subsequent establishments of Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine's Abbey, St Martin's lost prestige but retains its priority and historical importance.
Shortly before 1844, a hoard of gold coins which may date from the late 6th century was found in the churchyard, one of which is the Liudhard medalet, which bears an image of a diademed figure with a legend referring to Liudhard.
Local finds prove that Christianity did exist in this area of the city at the time, and the church contains many reused Roman bricks or spolia, as well as complete sections of walls of Roman tiles. At the core of the church the brick remains of a Roman tomb were integrated into the structure[3] Several sections of walls are clearly very early, and it is possible that a blocked square-headed doorway in the chancel was the entrance to Bertha's church, while other sections of wall come from the period after the Gregorian mission in the 7th or 8th centuries, including most of the nave. The apse that was originally at the east end has been removed.[4] The tower is much later, in Perpendicular style. The church is a Grade I listed building.

Fri and Sat 12/13 Feb 2016 were two special days for CCFPA. On Friday, there was an emotional evening in Coventry Cathedral to celebrate the contribution of Jimmy Hill to Coventry City FC. On Saturday a Legends Day at the Ricoh Arena there was-union of about 45 former players. The parade of players was climaxed by Brian Kilcline, the FA Cup winning captain, carrying the FA Cup onto the pitch. On the field the current team beat Bury 6-0 leading to post match celebrations in the Lady G Casino.
Climate Change will impact and is thought to already be impacting the composition, extent and distribution of forests and pastures in the Great Caucasus. Contributing factors to the degradation of forest resources in Azerbaijan’s Greater Caucasus landscape include overgrazing of livestock, inappropriate tree harvest for fuel wood and timber, and non-timber forest product harvest. Maintaining current poor management of pastures and forests will continue to degrade these resources and reduce their resilience. As the system becomes more degraded the pressures will increase on pastures and forests threatening livelihoods and continuing a cycle of poverty and poor management. Although climate change will be quite favorable for winter pastures, their area will not expand and might even diminish. This will be mainly caused by soil erosion and an increasing use of lands for crops as well as increased evaporative demands.
Finally managed to get a picture of these guys. Put fresh food out and they were down in seconds. Hopefully get them with good light next time.
I managed to get away from the flat cheshire plain for half an hour up at Tegs Nose Country Park near Macclesfield, the evening light just got better and better and I enjoyed having a little 'me' time.

Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches. Follow the conversation with #AfricaDayUSIP.
