After Physio this morning I took my first walk around the city in ages. My leg still is very sore but it was worth the pain!
Colombo Street November 28, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
Having another faff with physiograms tonight. Never pulled them off before but after some advice off Fade To Black I decided to have another go. Needs some polishing but I think I have it.
Guess what tomorrows 365 photo will be? ;)
Great Uncle and noted pathologist Dr. Horatio X. Peg traveled with the Springer and Schofield Brother's Circus teaching physicians, veterinarians and taxidermists the science of comparative anatomy. He insisted that all students wear silk top hats and comport themselves as gentlemen throughout the process to avoid conflict with local constabularies.
Never the less, Dr. Peg became a wanted man in Knockemstiff, Ohio after he asked for dissection volunteers while inebriated at a local pub. He was forced to blend in with the circus performers. When the Ringmaster would not relinquish his position Dr. Horatio X. Peg assumed the role of lion cage attendant Unfortunately he still smelled like a butcher to the big cats and he sobered up to discover his right arm in the jaws of an hungry lion.
Although he lost his arm in the incident, Dr. Horatio X. Peg survived. He spent the better part of two years attempting to attach the arm of an orangutan to his shoulder so he could continue teaching. He succumbed to the ravages of a perfidious immune system and was laid to rest in the Ozark mountains. His contributions to the science of comparative anatomy were lost as the circus clowns rolled cigarettes using the paper of his notebooks and journals.

Neuro physio again today during which I did an even longer spell on the exercise bike, core stability exercises, a few ball games and had a referral for hydrotherapy when I told the physiotherapist how much I missed going swimming together with the distances I used to swim . Unfortunately I couldn't find Lego props to represent those activities so put the champers and glass there for comedic value- if I did drink any in my current state then I'd fall over and who knows what would happen.
Figured I would do another how to description.
Music to LP by tonight - The Vaccines - What did you expect from the Vaccines?
Step 1 : Set up camera in the drive just infront of the garage door. Make sure you have garage key in your pocket. Press play for the vaccines and your good to go. Add a small bit of fine grade wire wool into the little holder attached to the electric drill. Light the wool and open the shutter on the camera. Hit the loud button on the drill and watch out for flying sparks. Drill down and Lens cap on.
Step 2 : Retreat to the garage and angle the camera up at the physiogram string. Set the string running and remove the lens cap. At this point I was on track 2 so I let the green physiogram string run for just short of one track. Lens cap on again.
Step 3 : Move the camera and change angle and remove the gel from the string. Start it running, remove the lens cap and let it run for about half a track. Close shutter. Clear up and head inside for a warm drink.
Day 8 done. I was hoping to do a long exposure during the daytime as my 10stop ND came today, but we were way to busy, so opted for my favorite thing of swinging lights around.
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)

First time my physio met me.
He was so cool about it but then his masochistic side kicked in and he made me walk 20 steps without a walking stick or frame. But, I DID IT!!!!!
The girl is on her way back!
Stranger #43 – Valérian
Valerian is a second year biology student, he hopes to become a physiotherapist. In order to achieve that, there are only 12 spots available in his year. Five years from now, he would like to be a physio and 5 years after that he would like to be an osteopath as well. “There aren’t enough physios at the moment but there are too many osteopaths so becoming a physio first, getting patients and then adding that feather to my cap makes more sense than the other way round. I want a physical job, I want to help people and physio has all that.” We got to talking about his situation as a student in Covid stricken France: “The only thing’s the government’s done for us are announcement effect soundbites. They said they’d offer meals for one 1 euro for students. It’s only a bit of bread and a bit of cheese. If I buy a meal for 3 euros at the university restaurant, I can make it last three meals and eat better than I would with their one euro meal. It’s all talk, there’s no substance.”
Thank you very much Valérian!

Valérian est étudiant en L2 de biologie, il espère devenir kinésithérapeute. Pour y parvenir, il devra être dans les 12 places disponibles dans sa promo. D’ici 5 ans, Valérian espère être kiné, puis 5 ans plus tard être kiné et ostéopathe. Il n’y a pas assez de kinés en ce moment mais il y a trop d’ostéos, alors devenir kiné d’abord, se créer une patientèle avant de rajouter cette carde à mon arc est plus logique que l’inverse. Je veux un métier physique ; je veux aider les gens et kiné correspond à ça. » On a parlé de sa situation en tant qu’étudiant au moment où la France est touchée par le covid. « La seule chose que le gouvernement a fait pour nous c’est des effets d’annonce. Ils ont dit qu’ils offriraient des repas à 1 euro pour les étudiants. C’est un juste un bout de pain et un peu de fromage. Si je prends un repas à 3 euros au RU (restau universitaire), je peux le faire durer trois repas et mieux manger qu’en prenant trois fois un repas à un euro. C’est que de la communication, y a rien derrière. »
Merci beaucoup Valérian !

Physio appointment after work today to deal with minor pain in my left knee. I started running two weeks ago after a 15 month break to deal with a torn meniscus and subsequent surgery. The surgery was successful but now I have to work on having more knee stability when running. It’s a work in progress.
After two weeks of physio, the doctor told me that I can do light exercise like biking since it is not putting up a lot of pressure of my Achilles. But she did tell me to pick route without too much of uphill. So lately, I have been biking to Kerrisdale and UBC a lot. Because of pandemic, UBC is very quiet.
But that is a great news for me as I can bike around the campus. I came here from time to time for family portrait shoot but I never really spend time looking around. UBC really changes a lot, there are so many new constructions and buildings in comparison to many years ago.
I still remember this Main Library wasn't like this before.
Location: UBC, BC (Canada)
Going to and from physio appointments I’ve noted an old garage in a laneway shortcut I use and I’ve thought it would make an interesting setting for a Human Family portrait. This day I paused to check the light by aiming my camera at my hand and I could tell by the expression on her face that a nearby woman wondered what on earth was wrong with me. I explained it was a light test for a project and proceeded to try and recruit her as a subject. That was a bit more than she was prepared for and she excused herself very politely, explaining she was catching a bus.
Just around the corner I spotted this man arriving with his bundle buggy and I was immediately struck by his long white beard and the way his eyes matched his work shirt. I introduced myself and explained the project and invited his participation. He was happy to oblige if it didn’t take more than a couple of minutes (he had to get to work). I quickly directed him around the corner and into the laneway and prepared him for the unlikely location, chosen for the sheltered light. Meet James.
After parking his cart and asking him to remove the shoulder bag distraction, I took a couple of portraits, adjusting to get the correct exposure and get him properly centered between the grated windows in the back of the empty garage. He looked at his photo and said “Right on.” We exchanged information as I walked him back to where we had met.
James is from Toronto and (as you can see from his shirt pocket) he works at one of Toronto’s premier music stores in the west end. I told him I had actually photographed a co-worker of his a couple of years ago. It’s a small world. James is a Collection Officer. “Oh, so you get yelled at all day?” His reply: “No, I tell people we’re going to repossess their equipment if they don’t pay.”
When he told me he is 68 he went on to say “I don’t feel it and I certainly don’t act it” with a sly grin through his moustache. His message to the project? “Good spirits, good health.” A handshake later and he was on his way to work and I was on my way to physio.
Thanks James for taking a couple of minutes to meet and participate in The Human Family project.

My doggie girlfriend has started Physiotherapy and Hydrotherapy now. Physio is at Wellington at the middle of the day - about 2 hours taken up there. Hydro is at Pedwell (so near to Greylake) this also takes up a couple of hours, so I'm missing out on me snappin' with the days being so short. You'll have to put up with a few repeats in the meantime. :+)))
I was so tired last night after physio that I forgot to take my Parkinson's meds.I already knew though that it would only be a matter of time before I'd grind to a halt with regards my 365. However, much as I didn't feel like going out lunchtime, Huw persuaded me to because I was as you'd imagine, in a bad frame of mind. We came here to Llanelli beach because I still need to do a certain amount of exercise.
I uploaded this to the set for no other reason than it serves as a memory aid, which is nothing new 😉 Also the only reason I converted to mono is because the light was so flat. I don't 'do' sympathy so please no hugs , nor anything . It is what it is. Besides I spoke with my very lovely and very wise friend Jan yesterday who said to me , it’s only as I’d have expected . You’ve always taken photos with your camera for as long as I’ve known you. 😉
Edit : these pills can confuse your head somewhat but can’t live with , definitely can’t live without so I continued with my 365 after all

Hereford Street November 28, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
Went to see a physio today - quite possibly the best £45 I've spent in a long time - I can actually walk again. Been given several useful exercises to do, too before my follow-up appointment next week.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the best examples of ancient energy machines. It was like a Tesla power plant, but created thousands of years ago. It was a huge ancient structure that was able to use the natural properties of the Earth to create or produce a large amount of energy. It is believed that this energy was used by the ancient Egyptians, as well as ancient Mayans and other cultures around the world for millennia. This theory, however, has been firmly rejected by various researchers. If we approach the history of ancient civilizations from another perspective, we will find that ancient civilizations around the world were, in fact, extremely sophisticated and used advanced technologies thousands of years before conventional science reinvented them.

This energy is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians and other cultures such as the ancient Maya and other cultures around the globe for millennia. This theory, however, has been firmly rejected by mainstream researchers.
If we approach the history of ancient civilizations from another perspective, we will encounter that ancient civilizations around the globe were, in fact, extremely sophisticated and used advanced technologies thousands of years before mainstream science ‘reinvented them’.
The idea that civilizations around the world have evolved from a primitive state, towards a more advanced one is something that mainstream scholars have tried to implement and place as the ultimate truth inside our society, schools and history books. However, this is not the case as numerous researchers around the globe suggest. In fact, ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we believe.
Looking at the historical references that can be found in numerous ancient civilizations around the globe, we will find numerous patterns and details that tell a different story than the one being imposed by mainstream scholars.
These advanced technologies were present in ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumer, and in North, Central and South America. Electricity, electrochemistry, electromagnetic technology, metallurgy,advanced engineering, including hydro geology, chemistry, physics and advanced forms of mathematics and astronomy were all used thousands of years ago to great extents.
Many researchers agree that in the distant past, electricity was widely utilized in the land of the Pharaohs, with the Baghdad battery being one of the best examples of such advanced technology. Mainstream schools, however, do not agree. But by examining the careful history and details left behind by the ancient Egyptians, a different truth is immediately revealed where we can see that sophisticated illumination techniques were used during the construction of Pyramids and other buildings in ancient Egypt.
While mainstream scholars firmly disagree with the notion that ancient Egyptians used electricity to light up ancient buildings, many believe that there is enough evidence to support this notion. Intricate carvings demonstrate that the ancient Egyptians utilized what appear to be handheld torches that were not lit up by fire, and were as many believe, powered by means of wireless electricity, thousands of years ago.
But these mysterious torches were not the only example in ancient Egypt. It is believed that the ancient lighthouse in Alexandria was powered by an ‘Arc lamp’, and is another crucial piece of evidence suggesting that electricity was used in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. But, the electricity required to power such incredible structures on a daily basis could only have been provided by a regular ‘huge’ electrical source.
This is why, many people believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza, whose purpose remains a mystery, is believed to have been used in the distant past, as some sort of giant energy machine, used to power numerous devices across Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is considered an ancient masterpiece of engineering and architecture and one of the best –if not best– examples of ancient construction.
While the idea that the Great Pyramid of Egypt were used as giant power plant generating free, wireless energy, is firmly rejected by mainstream scholars, this theory could explain numerous enigmas about the Pyramid itself and the sophisticated society that settled at the Nile River thousands of years ago.
Interestingly, the outer casing of the Great Pyramid of Giza was covered by ‘white tufa limestone’, put together in such a way that nothing could fit in between the stones. It is noteworthy to mention that the ‘white tufa limestone’ used in the outer casing of the Great Pyramid of Giza does not contain magnesium and has very high insulating properties. It is believed that this sophisticated insulation property allowed the ancient Egyptians to fully control the release of energy from within the Pyramid.
In addition, to the outer casing, the stone blocks used in the inner parts of the Great Pyramid were made from another form of limestone, which contains small amounts of crystals and metals which are believed to be two important properties that allowed maximum power transmission. Even more interestingly is the fact that the shafts built inside the Great pyramid were made of granite, and is a slightly radioactive substance permitting the ionization of the air inside the air shafts of the Great Pyramid, similar characteristics can be found in a conductive insulating cable.
The only thing missing for the Great Pyramid of Giza to function as a great giant power wireless plant was a source of energy which is why the ancient builders of the Great Pyramid took advantage of the water at the Giza plateau. Interestingly the Giza plateau where the pyramids are located is full of underground water channels. The Pyramids at the Giza plateau rise above the limestone layers located underneath (Aquifers), and the spaces in between them are filled with great amounts of water, and these layers of rock are capable of transmitting energy upwards as they carry the underground water to the surface. This means that the high volume flow of water that passes through these underground cavities is capable of producing an electrical current; known as physio-electricity. Physio-electricity can be defined as ‘Electricity obtained from the natural physical movements with the help of certain harnessing devices can be termed as physio-electricity. For example, energy from walking, energy from flowing stream of a river (Nile river flowing through aquifers.’ (Source)
The chambers built within the Great Pyramid of Giza are considered as granite conductors implemented in the design, charged with ‘physio-electricity’. This means that given the material and specific construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the electromagnetic field that forms at the very bottom of the Pyramid is transmitted towards the upper layers of the pyramid. It is believed that in the distant past, a device of excellent electric conductivity was located on the top of the pyramid, where today an empty space remains the only evidence of a pyramid that in the past, looked very different.
Interestingly, traces of this long-lost ancient technology were rediscovered in the 1900’s by the great Nikola Tesla. Located at the Wardenclyffe tower he built between 1901 and 1917, Tesla applied a nearly identical form of this ancient technology, used in Egypt over 4000 years ago. Tesla’s tower was also believed to have been built upon aquifers, which means that the electric technology used by Tesla is nearly identical to that applied in the construction of the Great Pyramid. Both the Great Pyramid of Giza and Tesla’s magnificent Wardenclyffe tower were systems that generated negative ions and were capable of transmitting them without the need for electric cables, a completely free and wireless energy that powered other electrical components through vast distances.
But it appears that the Ancient Egyptians were not the only ones to have understood the benefits of this ancient technology.
A recent study has shown that a natural sinkhole, also known as ‘cenote’ is located underneath the Pyramid of Chichen Itza. Experts have found it is connected to other caverns and lakes in the area. The water filling the cavern is thought to run from north to south. This means that the Pyramid of Chichen Itza sits upon a subterranean water source just as Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower, and the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I'm off to physio for my ankle this morning - she couldn't do anything for me last time cos my calf and foot were swollen from the insect bite!) Before I go, here's a photo from a project I started a couple of weeks ago. We've recently had a new roof put on our lean-to/conservatory/bike storage space, so for the first time in years it seems to be leak free! Tim painted the walls white and laid vinyl on the floor and we've promised to keep it tidy!! This robin is part one of the artwork in it - more later!
Physio Control have been providing defibrillators to Ambulance Services around the Uk for certainly as long as I’ve been working for the Ambulance Service over 30 yrs . Having been trained and worked with the Lifepak 5 , 10 and 12 it looks like my association with Physio Control will like the Pacer DMU will shortly be ending as Yorkshire Ambulance are changing their defibrillator provider to Core Pulse .
This is the Lifepak 15 the current defibrillator, in amongst the buttons is the Pacer to be used in the treatment of patient’s with a slow pulse .

Gonna give running a go today after my physio gave me the go ahead after our last session. Will continue ride the #Trek as an alternative for my long runs. Hopefully will some images of running show up later today. #fingerscrossed #tbt #throwbackthursday #lovebikes #loves_bikes #cyklocross #cykelcross #bikesareawsome #cycling #bikeporn #cyclingphotos #instacycling #hågadalen

I saw the physio the first time about my right ankle, as several weeks before Christmas I stamped my foot really hard in the kitchen, trying not to drop a heavy saucepan! I knew at that moment I was going to pay for it and I had to rest it for a few days as I couldn't put my weight on it. (They say most accidents happen in the home!) I've been out and about, as you can see (although it happened after our Nice holiday) but it's still feeling tender.
My physio, Alice, had been helping me with my neck, in case they were the cause of my headaches, but she suggested I refer myself for my ankle too, then she could help me. When I saw her yesterday she agreed my right ankle was weaker than my left, but possibly that's because I've been putting less weight on it, so she strapped up in a magical way (a bit is peeling off in the photo!) and emailed some exercises to me.
Well ironically, as we were starting to walk home after my appointment (about a mile) I felt a painful pressure on my left foot! It got worse the more I hobbled, and worryingly this happened about a year ago with the other foot! It's a bit like cramp on the top of my foot that won't go away and hurts when I walk on it. I wouldn't be bothered, but it's JJ's birthday next week and we have a lot planned, which involves walking - more about that later. When this happened last year to my other foot, I was unable to put weight on my foot for quite a few weeks, and I'm dreading it happening this time too! I actually need it to be right by the weekend, but fear I'm going to have to borrow my Mum's walking stick (and will have to learn how to use it!) I've put cold packs on and soaked it in hot water, but I don't think there's any quick fix, unless you know of any miracle cures?! (I actually regret going to the physio as it was fine before this! It may be because she was testing the strength in both my feet - I know she's not really to blame though! I think it's tender tendons!)
Oh woe is me!!

More of an experiment tonight and mainly down to laziness. Couldn't be bothered to swap the lens on the camera so stuck with the 50mm prime to see what I could capture of a physiogram. Lined it up so it was coming from the top corner. When I saw the trial one I realised that rotating the camera would give me a second so gave it ago. This is the first try and I like it. I like the feeling that your seeing a small snippet of a big gathering of physiograms.
