Had my post-procedure Consultants OP this morning and he took one look at me and said "Your discharged!" I am aloud to start doing everything, everything I have been missing for quite a few months now as from the 8th April and the results of my last blood tests, "Hallelujah" says Melanie as this will stop me from getting under her feet! How exciting, maps out, routes to plan and off I go!
Notice the white strings tied to her wrists? These are supposed to shield off bad spirits and bring health. They are most often worn when someone is sick to help them recover.
Once I updated the chassis of my old Imperial Hover Tank, I decided to make it into a recovery vehicle.
Posted on insta about a month ago, just thought I'd show Flickr some love.
Since Cryptid and the Wolves dragged me back to a med unit, I had been laying in bed, recovering. Several more attempts had been made on my life. The CO insisted that a guard be posted at the entrance of the med tent, but I didn't trust my life to some GI. I had begun sleeping with a knife under my pillow, and after more gas attacks, an oxygen tank. After the medics bandaged me up, I donned my armor once again. That too, I had begun sleeping in. I trusted no one, and was always wary. The flashbacks had stopped, possibly due to the intense stress I was under. Hopefully, it stayed that way. Man, I can't wait to get out in the field again, miles away from everything except those I trust. Anything would be better than this living hell I was in. Wait. What was that? There was a noise outside.
A masked face peered around the corner; I threw one of my knives. The face ducked back at the last second, as the knife ripped a hole in the far side of the tent. "Come on and finish it, you bastard!" i yelled, hatred and fury dripping from my voice. I heard the sound of rapidly retreating footsteps. Thus it went, night after night. I hardly slept anymore, with sounds from the camp waking me up, heart pounding. I could not live like this for long...
Several weeks later...
Finally, I was back in action. After several days of attacks, a trio of old Silent Wolves veterans stood vigil over me, switching off every few hours. I then had a chance to rest, feeling safe. The attacker didn't show up, given the presence of the armed men. And it paid off. Now, I was back on my feet , and preparing my belongings to leave the infirmary. I still had an ugly scar where the bullet penetrated, and the wound twinged every now and again. But I would be all right. I strapped on my armor, and threw on my pack. I gave it a quick, weight-settling jostle, and began to head out of the door. And then, I saw a grenade, standard USDF issue, minus the pin, roll towards my feet...

Breakfast ???
One quarter of one waffle, tablespoon of strawberries, 8 oz coffee, four oz apple juice, 6 oz milk (skim) 1 ladle of oatmeal (that went nowhere) and I begged for a box of cereal. (3/4 ounce)
We have had a particularly nasty tummy bug go through our family this week. It started over a week ago with Max, followed by Molly on Monday, my husband on Friday night and then lastly me on Saturday morning. I am on the way back up now. This was taken while Molly was recovering. Her raggedy old toy dog Allie gives her a lot of comfort in times like these.
but the green shoots of recovery will soon appear
We saw this in Sheringham woods, giving us the thought that things will get better.
A recovery vehicle from the old Rotherham Corporation (Council) that was used to go out and rescue any bus in the town that had broken down. This AEC vehicle is now with the South Yorkshire Transport Museum in Rotherham and was brought out for their October 2021 open day. In the background there's an old Northern Ireland CityBus.

What to do when you have a spare PS type B10M sitting around? Well, you chop a bit off here, weld a panel in here, relocate the fuel tanks, add some weight to the back do various other jobs that no sane person would dream of doing and then you have a unique recovery vehicle.
New to Cumberland and latterly with Merseyside within the Stagecoach group, K748DAO is now Howards Travel's wrecker. All the work has been done in house by the owners Father and incorporates a kitchen and seating area, TV/DVD player as well as a work station for on the road repairs. What started out as a project is now reality, and boy does it look good!
Life is coming back to this mountain side up in the San Bernardino Mtns. A fire destroyed many many acres back in 2003...very sad!!
When I was last at Burwood Beach, big seas had stripped metres of sand away, exposing a boulder field and old coal wagon bogies. Recovery is almost as dramatic. Burwood Beach, Newcastle.

I'd previously shot another model, Elle here and used traditional Fresnel-focused incandescent spotlights to create this mood.
That was at night though and this time, during the day those lights are just nowhere near bright enough to get the mood and contrast required.
So this time, I'm using a couple of Godox AD200s with the Speedlight-type rectangular head.
I see a lot of, well quite frankly, bullshit, online, in videos and articles about how to make effective hard light and create that classic "Hollywood" look. Hard light only requires one thing: a small light source. The Fresnel lenses on those spotlights focus the light (and actually make it slightly softer when the light is spotted up as the lens becomes the light source rather than the bulb). They don't imbue the light with any magic qualities - they're merely an effective way of controlling the spread of light.
Once you have your small source, your next challenge is to control it without making it bigger. Silver reflector-dishes and softboxes with grids can all control the spread of light, but they also make the light bigger - and so, softer. Fresnel lenses achieve this on spotlights, but some suitably sized matt black barn doors will also do it, as will a matt black piece of card rolled up into a tube. These are the two methods I use with my AD200s to control the light, whilst keeping it small.
The results are an exact match for the spotlights. It's harder to work with flash when you need to precisely place the light as you can't see it until you take a picture. With practice though, you'll see the preview in your mind :)
