A bonus "Friday Face" this week. I don't understand Japanese. However, it was quite possible to interpret what was going on in this photo.
I saw the passenger get up from her seat, but too late to get off the train at her stop. She had probably nodded off as so many people do on Japanese public transport. She walked down the train to find the conductress. The conductress very politely invited her to sit down opposite us and came back a couple of minutes later with information that she should get off at a particular station to connect with a service going the opposite way. Something was then written on the ticket which I imagine gave the lady a free ride back down the line.

And it doesn't even break my heart
You're somebody else's
And I pray for them, whoever they are
Oh, every day with you was rock bottom
Leavin' you saved me, my god
Look at me blossom
You're somebody else's problem
A cherry pip, safe on its own and intact, but if chewed or ground, the amygdalin releases cyanide when metabolised within the body.
Various plant seeds or pits contain amygdalin, which releases cyanide when metabolised, including cherries. The amounts are small, so that in general, toxicity is not seen except in cases where a combination of factors seriously exacerbates the problem. Essentially, you need a pit or seed from some fruit of a plant in the family Rosaceae, generally from Prunus genus (cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, and almonds).
Under such conditions, you can ingest enough amygdalin to kill you. However, while some cherry pits do apparently contain amygdalin at the same concentrations as bitter apricot kernels, the amount you would have to eat is considerably more than two pits. The LD50 for bitter almonds (which are also similar to cherry and apricot kernels, with ~5% amygdalin content) in rats is estimated to be a little more than 3 grams per Kg of body weight.
Apparently the tropical milkweed plants sold in stores may cause problems for Monarch butterflies: entomologytoday.org/2015/01/16/planting-the-wrong-kind-of...
After reading about it, I harvested a few of the remaining "native" seeds from the milkweeds in one of the parks and now have them stored damp in my refrigerator. Will try to grow them this year.
I know I should quit, but it's been proven that smoking makes you cooler and more interesting. Ahem. *Cough*
Rabbits were introduced to New Zealand in the 1840s for food and sport but as there were no predators they soon became a pest, reaching plague proportions in some areas. I was told to look for a huge rabbit in this Wellington garden and sure enough ...
In this view, a staff conference takes place as 57308 and 390006 refuse to 'talk' to each other at Carlisle, 6 April 2008. The onboard computers on the loco and unit have to communicate with each other, otherwise nothing moves! All was eventually well, and Tin Tin led us on a splendid run down the still wintry Settle and Carlisle.
HO GROSSI PROBLEMI COL MIO PC CHE MI SI E' BLOCCATO IERI E ORA CON IL COLLEGAMENTO DA UN ALTRO COMPUTER.
Domani partirò e riuscirò a ripararlo solo al ritorno.
Intanto grazie a tutti per i commenti, le fav e gli inviti.
Un bacione ad ognuno di voi. A presto

As I explained before, for three weeks now I have been, if not bedridden, at least mostly housebound as a result of a crippling knee problem. I can still drive around and run errands when mandatory, but it is hurtful and I am definitely not up to lugging photo equipment and go shooting. Furthermore, when this struck, I didn’t have many photos waiting for upload, what with the Winter season coming to an end, the pandemic still with us that doesn’t really encourage outings (the one day I went out, on March 9, on a photo shoot for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, I became a COVID contact case of someone I had brushed against during the day, luckily without any consequence as I never was infected)... not to mention ridiculous wartime gas prices!
The bottom line is, I simply ran out of stuff to upload...
So, I had the idea to turn to some older photographs of mine to which I had, in 2021, given a “new life” by creating black-and-white versions of them for the purpose of a photographic essay that had been requested from me by the Department of Mediæval Studies of a US university. The essay’s theme was the emulation, with the tools of today, of the gorgeous black-and-white photography found in the books of the Zodiaque collection La Nuit des temps, devoted to religious art and architecture of the Romanesque age in Europe, and in particular in France. I’m sure many of you have heard about those books and/or own some of them.
Anyway, since those black-and-white versions are available, I figured I might as well upload them to offer you, who are kind enough to follow my stream, something to look at while I recover and until I can resume more normal photo activities...
Thank you in advance for your patience, and I hope you will enjoy this “renewed” content à la Zodiaque! I will put in a short description of each photo below.
As I have titled this series in reference to the Zodiaque books, I construe my “Romanesque” as the good monks did, i.e., I include in it some fine and inspiring examples of older architecture, what would indeed be classified as pre-Romanesque.
Among such places is the so-called “Lémenc Rotunda”, in the crypt (not open to the public) under the Saint-Pierre-de-Lémenc church in the town of Chambéry, at the foot of the French Alps. This enigmatic structure has been diversely interpreted by cohorts of self-styled specialists and self-appointed experts, and no definitive conclusion has been reached as to its purpose —which may have varied as centuries rolled by.
It is almost undoubtedly from the Carolingian period at least, therefore around 800–900 CE, possibly even Merovingian, i.e. a couple of centuries older. The structure is harmonious and delicate, and the existence of a drain at the bottom of the small basin reveals that a liquid was regularly poured into it, that subsequently needed to be drained. The idea of a baptismal font springs to mind, and most likely this was one of the place’s uses... but why did it need to be underground, hidden away in a crypt? Maybe because it wasn’t a baptismal font to begin with, and that’s when you step into the realm of conjecture, speculation and worse...

One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's fucked in the head, " they said
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
We came back from our adventure to the coast a couple of day early. A tropical storm is potentially building in the gulf. For whatever reason, Hadley is bored and antsy, walking back and forth. An old fashioned method of occupying himself seems to be solving the problem.
I really cannot recall the last time I saw real cards in his hands but whatever works!
ODC: solving the problem
The Fossdyke Canal close to the Pyewipe Inn in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The Fossdyke Canal is generally considered to have been constructed during the Roman period, but there is a case for an early medieval date. It connects Lincoln and the Witham to the Trent. Its cutting would have involved the straightening and rerouting of the River Till. A 2005 borehole suggested that the River Till may have become redundant before the 12th century, but no firm date.
The first documented work on the Fossdyke was when it was deepened in 1121. It was Crown property until James II presented it to the city of Lincoln by an act of 1671. There were frequent problems of flooding and silting but its use increased after improvements were made by Richard Ellison to whom it was leased in 1741, and son Richard after 1743.
It was deepened in the early 19th century and in 1840. The Fossdyke was used at this time for the transport to Lincoln of coal, lime, cotton, linen and woollen goods, timber, and pottery etc. and for the moving to the towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire of cattle, wool, wheat, barley and flour. Craft were sailing barges, horse-drawn and steam packets. The GNR took over the lease in 1846.
Commercial water transport gradually declined with increasing competition from railways but survived longer on the Fossdyke than on Witham. Barkers and Lee Smith were last Lincoln users of river barges, and the last water transport company was Furleys of Gainsborough in 1972.

Parece que los problemas que tuvo la 289.101 después de pasar la "R" se reproducen en su compañera de serie, la 289.102, que aquí vemos entrando en la estación de Casetas. Y es que justo después de estacionarse y hacer el relevo de maquinistas la locomotora dijo que no andaba más. Tras media hora subiendo y bajando pantógrafos consiguió por fin arrancar. Aunque tampoco fue muy lejos, en Miranda fue directa a talleres.
