Coronavirus prep. Strange and scary times! I am prepped and ready to hunker down in the house. I have cleaning supplies, food and Fireball! I am learning new terms like "social distancing" and "flatten the curve." Be well everyone!

an article i should have read before making the marmalade www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/top-10-tips-making-marmalade

 

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

 

i've created a new group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

Prepping for a spacewalk typically means diving underwater to rehearse and fine-tune operations.

 

In 2016, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst performed such an underwater rehearsal for the Colka high speed radio, the brown box imaged above, that will be installed this month on the International Space Station.

 

NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover will integrate the small fridge-sized device outside the European Columbus module during a spacewalk scheduled this year. ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen will be at NASA’s mission control directing the spacewalkers as Capcom. The Columbus Ka-band terminal, nicknamed ‘Colka’, will enable faster communication with Europe.

 

Orbiting the planet every 90 minutes means the Space Station is constantly making and breaking short links with ground stations on Earth as it passes over them at a height of 400 km.

 

With Colka, a European telecommunications satellite in geostationary orbit can pick up data sent from the Columbus module. This satellite is part of the European Data Relay System and will be able to directly relay the signals from Columbus to European soil via a ground station in Harwell, in the UK.

 

The current data relay system routes via USA, which results in longer data transfer times. The Colka upgrade will ensure faster communications between Columbus and Europe, speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s for downlink and up to 2 Mbit/s for uplink. This will allow astronauts and researchers to benefit from a direct link with Europe at home broadband speeds – delivering a whole family’s worth of video streaming and data for science and communications.

 

Colka will be installed just weeks after the announcement that Europe will start building a communications module in support of the Gateway, the next spaceship to be assembled and operated in the vicinity of the Moon by International Space Station partners. The ESPRIT High-speed Lunar Communication System will be launched on NASA’s Gateway living quarters, in 2024.

 

As humankind ventures farther from Earth and goes forward to the Moon, a robust communications infrastructure is necessary for the lunar economy and to return knowledge and benefits to Earth. ESA is working on this with the Moonlight project, a system for lunar telecommunications and navigation to reduce design complexity, liberating missions to concentrate on their core activities.

 

ColKa was designed and built by British and Italian companies, using products from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany and Norway, some of which have been qualified under the ESA’s programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES).

Sitting outside the new (only a year old) three track enginehouse of the Seaview Transportation Company is this caboose which belongs to the little railroad. The car is being prepped for paint and eventually will have windows installed and long term plans call for an interior restoration.

 

It is former New Haven Railroad C-616, a Class NE-5 car buit in 1944 at Pullman-Standard's Worcester plant. 124 of the all steel welded body cars were purchased by the NH, and this car would outlast the railroad itself, passing to Penn Central and ultimately Conrail where it was retired as CR 23811. While it was reconditioned by CR in the 1970s and received roller bearing trucks, it didn't receive the same fate as others in its class that had NYC style bay windows cut into the sides and the cupola plated over.

the "old man" is coming over at 5pm...want a nice do...I like it when the rollers are neatly arranged

Poor old Ted, he wanted to be a doomsday prepper but I told him it was ill advised. But he said, why not, he’s been in a bag and in hibernation for so many years, what harm could there be in it? And so he was let loose last year.

 

He’s taken up residence watching the birds arrive for a bath and purloined a few items from our “preparedness stock” that he likes or feels are important.

 

I guess I would feel that way too if my last 5 minutes of fame was a photo 62 or more years ago. So, say hi to Ted, my Mum’s bear who doesn’t have a birthdate. Probably before WWII I imagine. He’s been in the wars and was patched a few times by my Mum before he left home many years ago. So, he’s really pretty precious to me.

 

I suspect there are quite a few Teds out at the moment. I fear for his future, I am not sure he is going to hold the special nostalgia that I have for him for anyone else (including my daughter) and that kind of makes me sad. So for the record, and the fresh air, he lives again. I just don’t think he wants to go through another war, however caused!

setting up a shot with the Rolleiflex...

He was keen to glide around me and slip me a sly pose when he felt like it. Definitely more Danny Zucco than Marty McFly. Cheeky and fun playing with the guests…

The pizzeria is fully booked for the night. Victoria is in early to get a lot of the prep work done to ensure the customers get swift service
