Since I already said goodbye on the blog, and 140 characters on twitter will not do, so I'll say this here.
Today I walked to the grocery store by the water with the specific intention of procuring Cheddar Bunnies for the road trip to LA. I bundled up for the cold, put my headphones on and turned Elliott Smith up to drown everything else out, and set off. It's a 10-15 minute walk from my apartment, and while the area of LIC between my apartment and the waterfront is usually pretty empty, it's desolate in the cold on the weekend. I started walking, Cheddar Bunnies dancing in my head, when 5 minutes into the walk I caught sight of the Manhattan skyline ahead of me. I'll be honest and admit that "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" coming on in my headphones didn't help - the song is sad sad sad and "I got static in my head / The reflected sound of everything" has always been such a New York City song lyric to me - but I lost it right there on the sidewalk. No one was around, but I couldn't help but think that someone would look out their window and see this blubbering girl on the sidewalk and take pity on me, so I pulled myself together. But instead of heading straight for the Cheddar Bunny promise land, I walked straight to the park on the water. I sat on this very chair, the tall grass gone in this weather, restarted "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" because "Waltz No. 2" wasn't jiving with my mood, and I stared at the buildings and felt so ridiculously sad. It dawned on me that leaving New York is like breaking up with a boyfriend that I still love, but know is bad bad bad for me. It's like breaking up with someone and not feeling too sad about your dissolved relationship because you have someone else waiting for you who screams hope and shiny new happiness. I know this because I've been there before. But by the time "Waltz" came on again, I wiped my tears, took a huge breath, and was ready to wave goodbye. I decided that this wasn't a bad break up at all. Let's still be friends, okay New York?

The Beheading of St. John the Baptist is my favourite dedication of any Kent church seen this far. It sits on the side of a down, above the rest of the village, which is what counts as the main road from Newnham to Lenham.
It also sits beside the parkland of Doddington Park, I was told by a local that is well worth a visit to see the gardens.
That the church is largely untouched since the 13th century, the clapboarded tower seems to have a new coast of paint and glistened in the early spring sunshine.
The churchyard seems now to be a nature reserve, or that wildlife is encouraged. So it is carpeted with snowdrops, with Winter Aconites, Primroses and Crocuses all showing well.

An enchanting church set in a wooded churchyard on the edge of a steep valley. The building displays much of medieval interest due to minimal nineteenth-century interference. The most important feature is the small stone prayer desk next to the westernmost window of the chancel. This window is of the low side variety - the desk proving the window's part in devotional activities. The nearby thirteenth-century lancet windows have a series of wall paintings in their splays, while opposite is a fine medieval screen complete with canopy over the priests' seats. There is also an excellent example of a thirteenth-century hagioscope that gives a view of the main altar from the south aisle, which was a structural addition to the original building. The south chancel chapel belonged to the owners of Sharsted Court and contains a fine series of memorials to them. Most of the stained glass is nineteenth century - some of very good quality indeed. Outside there is a good tufa quoin on the north wall of the nave and a short weatherboarded tower.

DODDINGTON.
NEXT to that of Linsted south-eastward, is the parish of Doddington, called in the record of Domesday, Dodeham.
THIS PARISH is about two miles across each way, it lies the greatest part of it on the hills on the northern side of the high road leading from Faversham through Newnham valley over Hollingborne hill towards Maidstone. It is a poor but healthy situation, being much exposed to the cold and bleak winds which blow up through the valley, on each side of which the hills, which are near the summit of them, interspersed with coppice woods, rise pretty high, the soil is mostly chalk, very barren, and much covered with slint stones. The village stands on the road in the valley, at the east end of it is a good house, called WHITEMANS, which formerly belonged to the family of Adye, and afterwards to that of Eve, of one of whom it was purchased by the Rev. Francis Dodsworth, who almost rebuilt it, and now resides in it. Upon the northern hill, just above the village, is the church, and close to it the vicarage, a neat modern fashed house; and about a mile eastward almost surrounded with wood, and just above the village of Newnham, the mansion of Sharsted, a gloomy retired situation.
Being within the hundred of Tenham, the whole of this parish is subordinate to that manor.
At the time of taking the above record, which was anno 1080, this place was part of the possessions of Odo, the great bishop of Baieux, the king's half brother; accordingly it is thus entered, under the general title of that prelate's lands:
The same Fulbert holds of the bishop Dodeham. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is . . . . . In demesne there is one carucate and seventeen villeins, with ten borderers having two carucates. There is a church, and six servants, and half a fisbery of three hundred small fish, and in the city of Canterbury five houses of seven shillings and ten pence. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth ten pounds. The bishop let it to ferm for ten pounds, when Fulbert received it, six pounds, and the like now . . . . . Sired held it of king Edward.
Four years after which the bishop of Baieux was disgraced, and all his effects were consiscated to the crown.
PART OF THE above-mentioned estate was, most probably, THE MANOR OF SHARSTED, or, as it was antiently called Sabersted, the seat of which, called Sharsted-court, is situated on the hill just above the village of Newnham, though within the bounds of this parish.
This manor gave both residence and name to a family who possessed it in very early times, for Sir Simon de Sharsted died possessed of it in the 25th year of king Edward I. then holding it of the king, of the barony of Crevequer, and by the service of part of a knight's see, and suit to the court of Ledes.
Richard de Sharsted lies buried in this church, in the chapel belonging to this manor. Robert de Sharsted died possessed of it in the 8th year of king Edward III. leaving an only daughter and heir, married to John de Bourne, son of John de Bourne, sheriff several years in the reign of king Edward I. whose family had been possessed of lands and resided in this parish for some generations before. In his descendants this estate continued down to Bartholomew Bourne, who possessed it in the reign of Henry VI. in whose descendants resident at Sharsted, (who many of them lie buried in this church, and bore for their arms, Ermine, on a bend azure, three lions passant guardant, or) this estate continued down to James Bourne, esq. who in the beginning of king Charles I.'s reign, alienated Sharsted to Mr. Abraham Delaune, merchant, of London, the son of Gideon Delaune, merchant, of the Black Friars there, who bore for his arms, Azure, a cross of Lozenges, or, on a chief gules, a lion passantguardant of the second, holding in his dexter paw a fleur de lis; which was assigned to him by William Segar, garter, in 1612, anno 10 James I.
He resided at Sharsted, in which he was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir William Delaune, who resided likewise at Sharsted, where he died in 1667, and was buried in Doddington church. He was twice married; first to Anne, daughter and only heir of Tho. Haward, esq. of Gillingham, by whom he had an only daughter Anne, heir to her mother's inheritance. His second wife was Dorcas, daughter of Sir Robert Barkham, of Tottenham High Cross, (remarried to Sir Edward Dering) by whom he had a son William, and a daughter Mary, married to colonel Edward Thornicroft, of Westminster.
William Delaune, esq. the son, succeeded to this estate, and was knight of the shire for this county. He died in 1739, s.p having married Anne, the widow of Arthur Swift, esq. upon which it passed by the entail in his will to his nephew Gideon Thornicroft, son of his sister Mary, widow of Edward Thornicroft, esq. by whom she had likewise three daughters, Dorcas, Elizabeth, and Anne. This branch of the family of Thornicroft was situated at Milcomb, in Oxfordshire, and was a younger branch of those of Thornicroft, in Cheshire. John Thornicroft, esq. of London, barrister-at-law, was younger brother of Edward Thornicroft, esq. of Cheshire, and father of John, for their arms, Vert, a mascle, or, between four crasscreated a baronet of August 12, 1701, and of colonel Edward Thornicroft above-mentioned. They bore for their arms, Vert, a mascle, or, between four crosscroslets, argent. Lieutenant-colonel Thornicroft was governor of Alicant, when that fortress was besieged in 1709, and perished there, by the explosion of a mine. (fn. 1)
Gideon Thornicroft, esq. possessed this estate but a small time, and dying in 1742, s.p. and being the last in the entail above-mentioned, he devised it by his will to his mother, Mrs.Mary Thornicroft, who dying in 1744, by her will devised to her two maiden daughters, Dorcas and Anne, this manor and seat, as well as all the rest of her estates, excepting Churchill farm in Doddington, which she gave to her second daughter Elizabeth, who had married George Nevill, lord Abergavenny, who dieds.p. and lady Abergavenny, in her life-time, made a deed of gift of this farm, to her son Alured Pinke, esq. who now owns it.
They possessed this estate jointly till the death of Mrs.Dorcas Thornicroft, in 1759, when she by will devised her moiety of it, as well as the rest of her estates, except the Grange in Gillingham, to her sister Mrs. Anne Thornicroft, for her life, remainder in tail to her nephew Alured Pinke, barrister-at-law, son of Elizabeth, lady Abergavenny, her sister by her second husband Alured Pinke. esq. barrister-at-law, who had by her likewise a daughter Jane, married to the Rev. Henry Shove; upon this Mrs.Anne Thornicroft before-mentioned, became the sole possessor of this manor and estate, in which she resided till her death in 1791, æt. 90, upon which it came to her nephew, Alured Pinke, esq. before-mentioned, who married Mary, second daughter of Thomas Faunce, esq. of Sutton-at-Hone, by whom he has one son Thomas. He bears for his arms, Argent, five lozenges in pale, gules, within a bordure, azure, charged with three crosses pattee, fitchee. He resides here, and is the present possessor of this seat and estate. A court baron is held for this manor.
DOWNE-COURT is a manor in this parish, situated on the hill, about half a mile north westward from the church. In the reign of king Edward I. it was in the possession of William de Dodington, who in the 7th year of it did homage to archbishop Peckham for this manor, as part of a knight's fee, held of him by the description of certain lands in Doddington, called Le Downe. His descendant Simon de Dodington, paid aid for it in the 20th year of king Edward III. as appears by the Book of Aid; from him it passed into the family of Bourne, of Bishopsborne, whose ancestors were undoubtedly possessed of lands in this parish, (fn. 2) so early as the reign of Henry III. for archbishop Boniface, who came to the see of Canterbury in the 29th year of it, granted to Henry de Bourne, (fn. 3) one yoke of land, in the parish of Dudingtune, belonging to his manor of Tenham, which land he held in gavelkind, and might hold to him and his heirs, of the archbishop and his successors, by the service of part of a knight's fee, and by rent to the manor of Tenham.
His descendant John de Bourne lived in the reign of king Edward I. in the 17th year of which he obtained a charter offree warrenfor his lands in Bourne, Higham, and Doddington, after which he was sheriff in the 22d and the two following years of it, as he was again in the 5th year of king Edward III. His son John de Bourne married the daughter and sole heir of Robert de Sharsted, by which he became possessed of that manor likewise, as has been already related, and in his descendants Downe-court continued till about the latter end of king Henry VI.'s reign, when it was alienated to Dungate, of Dungate-street, in Kingsdown, the last of which name leaving an only daughter and heir, she carried it in marriage to Killigrew, who about the beginning of Henry VIII. ending likewise in two daughters and coheirs, one of whom married Roydon, and the other Cowland, they, in right of their respective wives, became possessed of it in equal shares. The former, about the latter end of that reign, alienated his part to John Adye, gent. of Greet, in this parish, a seat where his ancestors had been resident ever since the reign of Edward III. for he was descended from John de Greet, of Greet, in this parish, who lived there in the 25th year of that king's reign. His grandson, son of Walter, lived there in the reign of Henry V. and assumed the name of Adye. (fn. 4) This family bore for their arms, Azure, a fess dancette, or, between three cherubins heads, argent, crined of the second; which coat was confirmed by-Sir John Segar, garter, anno 11 James I. to John Adye, esq. of Doddington, son and heir of John Adye, esq. of Sittingborne, and heir of John Adye, the purchaser of the moiety of this manor.
He possessed this moiety of Downe court on his father's death, and was resident at Sittingborne. He died on May 9, 1612, æt. 66, and was buried in Doddington church, leaving issue by Thomasine his wife, daughter and coheir of Rich. Day, gent. of Tring, in Hertsordshire, one son John, and five daughters.
John Adye, esq. the grandson of John, the first purchaser, succeeded at length to this moiety of Downe-court, and resided there, during which time he purchased of the heirs of Allen the other moiety of it, one of which name had become possessed of it by sale from the executors of Cowland, who by his will in 1540, had ordered it to be sold, for the payment of debts and legacies. He died possessed of the whole of this manor and estate, in 1660, and was buried in Nutsted church, of which manor he was owner. He left by his first wife several children, of whom John, the eldest, died s.p. Edward, the second, was of Barham in the reign of king Charles II. under which parish more of him and his descendants may be seen; (fn. 5) and Nicholas was the third son, of whom mention will be made hereafter. By his second wife he had Solomon, who was of East Shelve, in Lenham, and other children.
Nicholas Adye, esq. the third son, succeeded to Downe-court, and married Jane, daughter of Edward Desbouverie, esq. Their eldest son, John Adye, succeeded to this manor, at which he resided till he removed to Beakesborne, at the latter end of Charles II.'s reign, about which time he seems to have alienated it to Creed, of Charing, in which name it continued till it was sold to Bryan Bentham, esq. of Sheerness, who devised it to his eldest son Edward Bentham, esq. of the Navy-office, who bore for his arms, Quarterly, argent and gules, a cross story counterchanged; in the first and fourth quarters, a rose, gules, seeded, or, barbed vert; in the second and third quarters, a sun in its glory, or; being the arms given by queen Elizabeth to Thomas Bentham, D.D. bishop of Litchfield, on his being preferred to that see in 1559, the antient family arms of Bentham, of Yorkshire, being Argent, a bend between two cinquefoils, sable. Since his death this estate has by his will become vested in trustees, to fulfil the purposes of it.
Charities.

DODDINGTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the dioceseof Canterbury, and deanry of Ospringe.
The church, which is dedicated to St. John Baptist, consists of a body and chancel, with a chapel or chantry on the south side of it, belonging to the Sharsted estate. At the west end is a low pointed steeple, in which are six bells. About the year 1650, the steeple of this church was set on fire by lightning, and much damaged. In this church are memorials for the Swalman's, Nicholson's of Homestall, and the Norton's, and in the south, or Sharsted chancel, there is a black marble of an antique form, and on a fillet of brass round the verge of it, in old French capitals, Hic Jacet Ricardus de Saherstada, with other letters now illegible, and memorials for the Bourne's and Delaune's.
The church of Doddington was antiently esteemed as a chapel to the church of Tenham, as appears by the Black Book of the archdencon, and it was given and appropriated with that church and its appendages, in 1227, by archbishop Stephen Langton, to the archdeaconry. It has long since been independent of the church of Tenham, and still continues appropriated to the archdeacon, who is likewise patron of the vicarage of it.
Richard Wethershed, who succeded archbishop Langton in 1229, confirmed the gift of master Girard, who whilst he was rector of the church of Tenham, granted to the chapel of Dudintune, that the tithes of twenty acres of the assart of Pidinge should be taken for the use of this chapel for ever, to be expended by the disposition of the curate, and two or three parishioners of credit, to the repairing of the books, vestments, and ornaments necessary to the chapel. (fn. 6)
It is valued in the king's books at fifteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 10s. In the visitation of archdeacon Harpsfield, in 1557, this vicarage was returned to be of the value of twelve pounds; parishioners sixty, housholders thirty-two.
¶In 1569, at the visitation of archbishop Parker, it was returned, that the chapel of Doddington used to be let to farm for forty pounds, and sometimes for less; that there were here communicants one hundred and thirteen, housholders thirty-five. In 1640 the vicarage was valued at thirty pounds; communicants one hundred and seven.
Archdeacon Parker, at the instance of archbishop Sancrost, by lease, anno 27 Charles II. reserved an additional pension of ten pounds per annum to the vicar. It pays no procurations to the archdeacon. It is now a discharged living in the king's books.

PKP 3,000 V DC overhead Class EU07 2,680 hp Bo-Bo No.EU07-1043 in PKP Intercity blue & grey livery at Poznan Glowny, 17 November 2017. In the late 1950's the PKP wanted an advanced electric locomotive and bought 20 EU06 mixed traffic locomotives built by English Electric's Vulcan Foundry in 1962-65 which were a DC export version of the AC British Railways Class 83. PKP then procured Polish built versions of the EU06 - 488 EU07's built by Pafawag and Cegielski in 1963-1994 and 200 5,400 hp duplex ET21 heavy freight and coal Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo units (two EU07's joined together) built by Cegielski in 1977-83. In 1995-2003 ZNTK modified 97 EU07 locos to express passenger EP07 locos. The 15 EP08 locos built by Pafawag in 1972-76 were newbuild express passenger versions of EU07's. The final development of the type is the 3,916 hp EP09 Class, 47 being built by Pafawag in 1986-97. The class, with a revised body, was intended to be a completely new state-of-the-art design but a shortage of funds led to the adoption of many features from the EP07/08's. However, the mixture of new and old technology was not a happy one and many subsequent modifications had to be made.

Direct Relief procured medicines specifically requested by our partners on the ground in Haiti. Outside of the organization’s standing inventory, this initial procurement includes local anesthetics, analgesics (acetaminophen, ibuprofen), antibiotics (ceftriaxone, amoxicillin, doxycycline), antiparasitic agents, and water purification tablets.
Our partners have reported that primary health concerns are infection-control and prevention for the many wounded and displaced. For patients receiving treatment for their injuries, basic medicines like analgesics and antibiotics play an important role in their recovery.
With more than 609,000 people in Port-au-Prince alone living in makeshift shelters and tent camps, infectious-disease control is an issue. In crowded living conditions with compromised water and sanitation systems, people can contract diarrheal diseases like cholera, which quickly becomes fatal if dehydration sets in. Water purification tablets provide safe drinking water and help prevent the disease’s spread.
This first round of purchased items will supplement the emergency aid provided to Haiti from the organization’s standing inventory. Direct Relief is in close touch with partners caring for Haitians affected by the earthquake and is committed to responding to needs as they develop. Donations from individuals, foundations, and companies help make this work possible.
SHOCKING ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAY.
MOUNT ALBERT RESIDENT KILLED.
FALLS BETWEEN RAILWAY CARRIAGES.
THOSE persons who were on the Mount Albert railway station on Saturday night, and some of the passengers by the eleven o'clock train from Auckland to Henderson, had the painful experience of seeing Mr. Albert Edward Brookes meet his death by falling between the carriages. It appears that Mr. Brookes, who was a resident of Mount Albert, boarded the train at Kingsland with the intention of returning home. When the train was approaching the Mount Albert station the deceased rose from his seat, as also did some of the other passengers, and stepped out on the platform, and then in some way or other fell between two of the carriages. The train travelled about 20yds further, dragging with it Mr. Brookes, who had been caught by the wheel-box under the carriage. When extricated from under the tram it, was found that Mr. Brookes was dead. The wheel had evidently passed over his left arm, for it was frightfully mutilated. The upper part of the body was badly crushed, but the lower limbs were uninjured. Death had evidently been instantaneous. Medical assistance was procured, but nothing could be done, and the body was removed by Constable O'Grady. The deceased evidently thought the train bad slowed down more than it had when he jumped off. Exactly how he came to fall between the carriages is not known, although it is generally believed that he never got quite clear of the carriage. The deceased was identified by letters he had in his possession. The news of his death was subsequently taken to his home, where his family were awaiting his return. The deceased was a married man, 60 years of age, and resident at New North Road, Mount Albert. He came to the colony in the ship Gertrude, in 1863, and was one of the Albert-land settlers. For the past seven years he has been residing at Mount Albert. He leaves a widow, three sons, and five daughters, also a brother and sister—Mr. G. H. Brookes, of Devonport, and Mrs. W. Armitage, of Wayby. Deceased was the third son of the late Rev. E. S. Brookes, of Wharehine. An inquest will be held.
The Mount Albert bowling green will be closed on Christmas Day, in consequence of the death of Mr. Brookes, and members are requested to assemble at the pavilion at two o'clock to attend the funeral.

Mr Gresham, on Monday afternoon, held an inquest at Mt. Albert into the circumstances attending the death of Mr E. A.

In addition two witnesses named Miller and O'Sullivan, who had been conversing with him on the train, deposed that he was perfectly sober. A verdict of accidental death, with no blame attachable to anyone, was returned.

HEROIC AUCKLANDER.
KILLED IN SAVING OTHERS.
A letter received by Mrs A. E. Brookes, of Mount Albert, from Lieut. Colonel F. B. Sykes, D.R.A., officer commanding the second brigade, New Zealand Field Artillery, gives particulars of the circumstances in which her son, Lieut. E. M. Brookes, met his death at the front. The facts were that a shell burst in the bore or at the muzzle of a gun, and set alight the cartridges in the gun-pit. "The detachment," says Colonel Sykes, "evacuated the pit, but found that two men had been knocked out, and were still in the pit. Your son and four men at once went up to extricate these men, and to put out the fire. One man was got out, when the shells in the pit and in other pits near detonated. I very much regret to say that your son, Capt. Daniell, and three men were killed instantaneously.''
Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes adds "I feel the loss of your son and Captain Daniell very much, personally, as both were in the second battery with me on leaving New Zealand. Your son was with me on Plugge's Plateau, for 10 weeks, in much discomfort, and a good deal of danger. He was always cheery, and never a day sick or away from duty during the whole time. As an officer, he was showing great keenness and capability, and was doing very well. It may be some small consolation to you to know that he died gallantly, taking great risk without the slightest hesitation."

for breakfast today we had bacon, eggs, sausage, and ham.
all procured from a winn-dixie dumpster.
(i didn't actually eat the sausage. too greasy.)
all day long the rainbow family counseled about the violence at front gate.
i had never been to a council before.
this one was absolutely silly.
nothing was achieved.
but i was entertained.
for dinner both kitchens made spaghetti.
so there was a LOT of spaghetti.
plus the krishnas were there so there was tons of food.
afterwards we went to camp feelgood.
and then to oz for pizza till you puke.
i only ate two slices.
then we went to bed.

1896/97 – Birth and baptism
The birth of a Sidney Albert Painter was registered in the Mutford District of Suffolk in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1897. Then, as now, you had 42 days to register the birth with the Civil Authorities, so potentially Sidney could have been born as early as mid-November 1896.
Mutford District included Lowestoft.
The baptism of a Sidney Albert Painter, no date of birth recorded, took place at St Margaret, Lowestoft, on the 1st January 1897. His parents were Ernest Leonard and Ann.

On the day
From “Tyne Cot Cemetery and Memorial: In Memory and In Mourning” by Paul Chapman.
(Page 111). On the night of 17 November 1917, in advance of their relief the following night, a reconnoitring party from 8th Suffolks arrived at the pill-box headquarters of 102nd Bn. Canadian Infantry requesting permission to be sent up the line. After proceeding less then 200 yards, the flying splinters of a shell-burst some distance to their left caused the Suffolks seven casualties, two fatal.

I can only assume from that that Sidneys’ body was originally buried and then his grave subsequently lost.
From the War Diary of the 102nd Battalion, Canadian Infantry.
Hillside Farm, November 17 1917
Map Zonnebecke 28.N.E.1
The morning broke with fog. “D” Co. suffered heavily in local support, losing 7 men from one shell burst. Heavy enemy fire all morning. A carrying party sent up by the 87th for their wounded man was dispersed with casualties. At 8 pm a reconnoitring party from the Suffolks, our relieving battalion, called at H.Q. and was sent forward under Battalion Runners. Two hundred yards away from H.Q. the rear end of the party was caught by a shell which killed two, severely wounded another + inflicted minor injuries on 4 more. Our runners seeing that there were men capable of procuring help from H.Q. pushed on with the balance of the party. Our Casualties:- 12 Killed; Lieut. W.W. Dunlop wounded at duty, 21 OR wounded.

That makes it sound like more of a direct hit, which could account for the lack of graves.
