Weeds won't give up. No matter how many times, and how often I pull them out, they keep growing again, especially as I don't want to use any chemicals. Well, at least weeding is different from school work - you see the fruits of your labour straight away. I guess I am as persistent as the weeds!
Shrine: Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel
Address: Village Petresti, Com. Corbeanca
On the left side of the DN1 at Km 21, there is the village of Petreşti, a village that is part of the Corbeanca commune, Ilfov county.
The village in the north is bordered by the Cociovaliştea stream, on the bank of which the Animal Research Institute is located.
In the courtyard of this institute, in the southern part, there is the church of Petreşti village.
The church is built of brick, in the shape of a cross, covered with galvanized sheet metal, and was built from the ground up in 1820 by Scarlat and Bălaşa Petrescu "owners of the Petreşti estate", having the patron saint "Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel".
In 1854, repairs were made by their son Alexandru and daughter-in-law Elena Petrescu.
In 1906, being in ruins, it was repaired again by their nephew Eugeniu Sătescu and his mother Ceciliaş, and painted in the fresco technique, the works finishing in 1909.
M.Simionescu Merei was the architect of the church, and Pr.V.Damian, painter.
In 1941, it was repaired by the last owner of the Petreşti estate, Mr. Floricel Procopie Dumitrescu.
At the entrance it has a porch formed by round wall pillars, forming arches above supported on a wall parapet.
The painting is still preserved only on the walls and in some places in the vaults.
The wall cladding keeps the painting intact.
The tower of the nave is built of plastered and painted stone.
The church has five large windows (two in the pronaos, two in the naos and one in the altar) and a small one in the proscomidiar.
The entrance door is made of oak.
Above the door, inside, is written:
"With the help of the Holy Trinity, built from the ground up in the year of salvation 1820 by Scarlat and Bălaşa Petrescu, the owners of the Petreşti estate, this Holy and Divine place with the Temple of the Holy Angels".
During 1970, the exterior repair of the church began, with the persistence of the priest Ionescu N.Ioan and the contribution of the parishioners, and in the following years it was repaired inside through the efforts of the new priest Dinu Mihalcea from the Preoțeşti parish, Baloteşti commune, because from 15 April 1976, this church became the branch of the new Preoțesti parish established by the basis 6385/1976 of the Holy Archdiocese of Bucharest.
In 1995, the consolidation of this holy place began by the parish priest Bondar Simion, continuing with the plastering and painting of the tower.
Since 2001, the newly appointed parish priest Ioniţă Mircea continues the work by painting the nave, the porch and the altar, helped by the parishioners.
The church owns heritage objects.
In 2008, the Petreşti Parish was re-established, and the priest Ciortan Constantin was appointed Parish Priest.

This wall is constantly being tagged and constantly being painted over, but lately the building has only painted over the tag itself, so it's still quite visible.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men of talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.""
