This is Re-Ment Liquor Store (www.re-ment.co.jp/product/r50617) #3. The glasses and their content (beer) are low quality. Although mini cans are very cute, this maybe the worst set in this.
It is hard to capture the intense color of the poppies. They are blooming now that there has been rain and the sun is getting stronger.
For We're Here : Joys of Spring
We're Here! making measurements with our Rulers.
Out getting fitted for new eyeglasses, I discovered these two rulers.
It bothers me that both of these rulers' scales are labeled on the left end as mm and 16ths, when plainly those are the smallest marks, but the numbers are for cm and inches. One could be confused.

Along with Hinxhill, Thanington were the two longest term targets for photographing.
I first went to Thanington at none on Heritage Day, hoping it would be open. It was locked, but a sign indicated it would be open later.
Thing about Heritage Day is to minimise travel time, but to get to Hinxhill and Thanington, there was no choice that to have a 45 minute drive from Upchurch.
With Hinxhill being open and already in the bag, I arrived at Thanington, able to park outside thanks to the road having been resurfaced and the double yellow lines not having yet being painted.
Some churches are well worth the wait to see, like Hinxhill, and others are a disappointment. Thanington falls into the latter.
Heavily restored in the 19th century, and recently re-ordered, it left me cold. But the volunteer loved her church, and she showed me what was thought to be a carved head portrait on a column.
------------------------------------------
Thanington is on the main A28, and St Nicholas set beside the road, though hides behind a huge Yew Tree.
I have been along this road many times, but the traffic is either too heavy, or too jammed to be able to stop. But one day earlier this month, I tried to see inside.
Sadly, it was locked, but then that is the fate of many urban churches, not just in Kent but all over.
So another one to add to the list come Heritage and Ride and Stride Weekend in September 2017.
---------------------------------------------
Low beside the road to Canterbury and outside (without) its walls, St Nicholas is a church that has seen many changes. An odd plan of nave with north tower, chancel and south nave chapel, it is built of local flints. Yew trees, the largest of which has an enormous round seat encompassing it, dominate the exterior. Inside the church has been recently re-ordered and the stone floor replaced by one of solid wood - a vast improvement. The pulpit and most of the nineteenth century stonework is by William Butterfield. In the nave are two gothic tablets to the Cooper family but apart from that there are few memorials to be seen. The east window of the south chapel has a fine piece of 20th century glass of The Good Shepherd contrasting with the earlier Mary and Elizabeth in its south windows. The plain arch into the tower shows the difference between medieval and later stonework and now leads to the church room added further down the slope and completely invisible from the south side of the church. The piscina is a wonderful piece of Victorian inventiveness with scrolly end stops and lobed inner arch whilst set into a recess in the east wall is a fascinating statue of St Nicholas the patron saint, with two children at his feet looking just as if they had stepped out of an Enid Blyton book! Delightful if somewhat bizarre.

HANINGTON lies about a mile from Canterbury, near the suburbs of Wincheap, part of the street of which, as well as St. Jacob's hospital at the entrance of it, are within the bounds of it; the river Stour runs through it, on the southern side is the church and courtlodge, beyond which and the Ashford road the hill rises on a poor flinty soil, among the coppice woods, as far as Iffens wood, a small part of which is within it. On the Ashford road stands the manor-house of Cockering, formerly possessed by a family of the same name, it has for some length of time belonged to the Honywoods, of Markshall, in Essex, and does now to Filmer Honywood, esq. of Marks-hall. A small distance higher on the hills, is New-house, formerly belonging to the Roberts's, of Harbledown, and thence by marriage to Robert Mead Wilmot, esq. who sold it to Sir Thomas Pym Hales, bart. as he did to Geo. Gipps, esq. the present owner of it. Between the above road and the church there are some very rich hop grounds. On the opposite, or northern side of the river, over which there is here a long wooden bridge for foot passengers only, and a ford, there is a large tract of meadows, and at the edge of them the manor and borough of Toniford. The ruins of the west front of the antient castellated mansion of it still remain, having four circular towers at equal distances, built of flint and ashlar stone. The gateway leading to it is still left, and the moat round it, very broad and deep, is still visible. Adjoining to the ruins is the modern house, built on the scite of the old one. The Kingsfords were for some generations resident here, as tenants of this estate. Above this the hill rises among much poor rough land. towards the woods.
THIS PLACE was antiently held of the archbishop, as part of his hundred and manor of Westgate, and in the reign of the Conqueror, as appears by domesday, it was held by Gosfridus Dapifer. (fn. 1) Some time after which THE MANOR OF THANINGTON appears to have been held by the eminent families of Valoyns and Septvans, of the archbishop; but in the next reign of king Richard II. it was held by Sir William Waleys, whose only daughter and heir Elizabeth carried it in marriage to Peter Halle, esq. of Herne, whose grandson Thomas died anno 1 Henry VII. unmarried, and was buried in Thanington church; upon which this manor came to his sister Joane, whose husband Thomas Atkins, in her right, became entitled to it. His son William Atkins, about the 17th year of king Henry VIII. alienated it, by fine and recovery, to John Hales, esq. of the Dungeon, in Canterbury, a baron of the exchequer, whose second son Thomas Hales, esq. by his fa ther's will, became possessed of this manor, where he afterwards resided. During which time his eldest brother Sir James Hales, late a justice of the common pleas, having been dismissed from his office on queen Mary's accession, retired to his nephew's seat here, where, in a fit of despondency, he drowned himself in the river near it, in 1555. (fn. 2) Thomas Hales died in 1583. His son Sir Charles Hales likewise resided here till he removed to Howlets, in Bekesborne, where his posterity remained till within these few years. At length his descendant Sir Philip Hales, bart. in 1775, passed it away by sale to George Gipps, esq. of Harbledowne, who is the present owner of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
TONIFORD, usually called Tunford, is a manor, situated within the borough of its own name, near the western bounds of this parish, and on that side of the river Stour next to Harbledowne. It was in early times both the property and residence of a family, who took their name from it, and bore for their arms, Gules, on a cross, argent, three fleurs de lis, sable. John de Toniford was possessed of it in the latter end of king Henry III.'s reign, and was a good benefactor to the hospital of Harbledowne. And his descendant, John de Toniford, resided here in king Edward III.'s reign, at the latter end of which he alienated it to Sir Thomas Fogge, whose son, of the same name, resided here, and died possessed of it anno 9 Henry IV. and was buried in the cathedral of Canterbury. From this family it afterwards passed into that of Browne, of Beechworth-castle, and in the 27th year of Henry VI. Sir Thomas Browne, of that place, comptroller and treasurer of the king's houshold, obtained a grant of liberty to embattle and impark, and to have free warren, &c. within this manor, among others. One of his descendants sold it to Colepeper, who again passed it away to Vane, from which name it was sold, in king Charles I.'s reign, to Capt. Thomas Collins, of Sittingborne, afterwards of Brightling, in Sussex, whose arms were Gules, on a bend, or, three martlets azure, within a bordure, ermine. In whose descendants it continued down to Mr. Henry Collins, of Chichester, who died possessed of it in king George II.'s reign, after whose death, it came to Thomas Lucksford, esq. of Chichester, whose widow Mrs. Hannah Lucksford dying in 1794, it came by devise at her decease, to William Wills, esq. of Ulcombe, who is the present possessor of it.
ST. JACOB'S, alias ST. JAMES'S HOSPITAL, which was situated at the further end of Wincheap-street, just without the bounds of the city of Canterbury, which extends close to the walls of it, was founded for leprous women, before the reign of king John. For in archbishop Hubert's time, who died in the 7th year of that reign, the prior and convent of Christ-church, in Canterbury, took this hospital into their custody and protection, and engaged themselves, that they would maintain three priests and one clerk for the service of religion, and twenty-five leprous women in this house, and supply them both, with all necessary provisions out of the profits of the church of Bredgar, and the other possessions of it, which church or parsonage king Henry III. afterwards confirmed to this hospital, in pure and perpetual alms. The revenues of it were valued anno 26 Henry VIII. at 53l. 16s. IId. in the whole, or 32l. 2s. 1¼d. clear annual income.
The members of it were exempted from the payment of tithes for their gardens and cattle; but there was a consideration in money, of eighteen pence per annum, in lieu of tithe, for the scite of the hospital, paid to the parson of Thanington.
This hospital escaped the dissolution of such foundations in king Henry VIII.'s reign, and continued till the 5th year of king Edward VI. when it was surren dered into the king's hands. The scite of it is now the property of Mr. Daniel Sankey, of Wincheap street, Canterbury. There are only the stone walls, which inclose an orchard, and the lower part of the front of the house, remaining of the antient buildings of it; the rest of the house, now called the hospital, being of a much more modern date.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly maintained are about fifteen, casually twenty-five.
THANINGTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of of the same.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is but small, consisting of one isle, a high chancel, and another on the south side, having a small pointed turret on the middle of the north side, in which hang three bells. It is an antient building. In the isle is a memorial for Thomas Hale, obt. 15—, rest obliterated, and arms gone. Two memorials for the Kingsfords, of Tonford. In the high chancel is a gravestone, coffinshaped. A stone with the figure of a man in armour, and inscription in brass, for Thomas Halle, esq. obt. 1485; arms, Halle, barry, three escutcheons. Within the altar-rails, a memorial for Anne, wife of Sir Charles Hales, of Canterbury, daughter of Robert Honywood, esq. of Charing, obt. 1617. Another for Sir Charles Hales, obt. 1623, arms, Hales, a crescent for difference. Memorial for Millicent, wife of Henry See, gent. married first to Henry Blechenden, esq. of Aldington; secondly to Jerom Brett, esq. of Leedes; lastly to Thomas Rownyng, gent. obt. 1612. In the south wall is an arch, hollowed in the building, and a tomb underneath. At the end of the south chancel there was formerly an altar; the niche for holy water still remains. In the church-yard, near the south side of the chancel, are the remains of an antient tomb, singularly shaped, having a stone in the shape of a lozenge lying on the base of it. By two grooves in the side and other marks, it seems to have had much more belonging to it.
This church was part of the antient possessions of the priory of St. Gregory, founded by archbishop Lanfranc, and was by archbishop Hubert confirmed to it in king Richard I.'s reign. (fn. 3) In the 8th year of king Richard II. this church was become appropriated to that priory, when, on the taxation, it was valued at 11l. 6s. 8d. at which time there was a vicarage here, valued at four pounds, being one of those small benefices in this deanry not taxed to the tenth. After which, both church and advowson, remained part of the possessions of the priory till the dissolution of it in king Henry VIII.'s reign, when it came into the king's hands, and was soon afterwards granted, with the scite and other estates of the priory, in exchange, to the archbishop, part of whose revenues the appropriation of this church continues at this time. George Gipps, esq. of Harbledowne, is the present lessee under the archbishop, of this parsonage, among the other possessions of St. Gregory's priory.
In 1774 this parsonage consisted of a part of a messuage, called the vicarage-house, or Cockering-farm, with a stable, and two pieces of land, containing thirteen acres, with the tithes of corn, hay, seeds and pasture, of hops and wood, the church-yard, and a piece of hop-ground. Total value 128l. 10s. procurations to the archdeacon 5s. and to the archbishop at his visitations 6s. The vicarage-house consists of a lower and upper room, being the north-east end of Cockering-house, Mr. Honywood's, and easily distinguished from the rest of it. A like instance of such contiguity, I never have as yet met with.
Before the dissolution of the priory this church was served by a vicar; but from that time it has been esteemed only as a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of his grace the archbishop.
¶The antient stipend of the curate was eight pounds, but archbishop Juxon increased this stipend, among others, to forty pounds, to be paid by the lessee of the appropriation, at which sum the value of it is now certified. And it has been since further augmented by two hundred pounds from the governors of queen Anne's bounty, and the addition of two hundred pounds more from the same fund, on a distribution from the legacy of Mrs. Ursula Taylor, paid to it by Sir Philip Boteler, bart.
In 1588 here were eighty-eight communicants. In 1640 only forty.

This cassette was on a pillow that I gave Thomas & Sam years ago. They didn't have the room to move it to Argentina with them so I turned it into a tote bag for them! They were surprised and pleased and took it with them, hooray!
(note: yes, I did clean up all the loose threads before giving it to them :)
La partie la mieux conservée des ruines est de style gothique et date vraisemblablement de la fin du XIIIe-début du XIVe siècle, Elle relève peut-être de la campagne de reconstruction consécutive au saccage anglais de 1294. L'église est à nef unique de deux travées, dont les voûtes sur croisée d'ogives se sont effondrées. Cependant les murs gouttereaux et la façade occidentale sont presque intacts.
La nef s'ouvre sur un transept dont les deux croisillons présentaient chacun de petites chapelles rectangulaires orientées, dont ne restent que les fondations, relativement épierrées. Dans le prolongement de la nef et du transept se dresse le chœur, d'une travée autrefois voûtée sur croisée d'ogives dont ne restent que les arrachements sur les murs, renforcés à leur extrémité par des maçonneries plus récentes. Le mur oriental est percé d'une immense baie privée de son remplage, depuis longtemps disparu. Cette partie date vraisemblablement du XVe siècle et de reconstructions après la guerre de Cent Ans), et donc postérieure au reste de l'édifice.
Il ne reste pratiquement plus rien des anciens locaux conventuels, plusieurs fois détruits et finalement démantelés au XVIIe siècle pour construire le fort de la Prée situé plus loin. Le carré du cloître, au nord de l'église, est cependant visible, le mur-bahut le délimitant autrefois ayant été rétabli, de même que le dallage des galeries avec un petit jardin en son centre. De la salle capitulaire, située contre le croisillon nord du transept et jouxtant la sacristie, ne subsistent, tout comme cette dernière, que des murs arasés et un sol épierré. Au nord du cloître s'élevait le réfectoire dont il ne reste qu'un pan de mur présentant encore trois anciens chapiteaux et départs de voûte, dans le même style que celui de l'abbatiale. C'est d'ailleurs le seul vestige en élévation des bâtiments claustraux.
Les éléments mis au jour lors des fouilles archéologiques sont visibles à la Maison du Platin à La Flotte, à proximité immédiate du port, sur le front de mer (cf. wikipédia).
The lyrics to the first single off the Re-Imagine album...All You Need is War.
All You Need Is War
The human population
In an act of desperation
Stood in silent observation
With a morbid fascination
And an odd anticipation
Of our own obliteration.
We are full of aggravation
And very little preparation
As that leads to escalation
Subject to capitulation
Victims of manipulation
And a future of damnation.
We watch the acclimation
It is a strange sensation
As a total generation
Lacking ample education
Begins their supplication
In a fictional creation.
Only strong determination
And an urge for preservation
Will prevent the ruination
Of the entire civilisation
Lay low the lamentation
Join the call for jubilation.
There is global consternation
With some factless fabrication
A good deal of defamation
What we need is observation
With a dose of inspiration
And greed free determination.
