The Salvation Army continue to serve wherever there is a need.
With their mobile canteens they are on call 24/7 and attend incidents where there are 8 or more fire engines present.
Serving refreshments to all blue light res-ponders is a service given freely by the volunteers who man the canteens.
This is yoga in the tropics!

I know, I've already ranted about my 10 freebie minicards, but this is my CheapEats set specially produced for this weekend's Canzine. Perhaps now people will stop asking what I use all those food photos for.
Yes, we'll be shilling books @ Canzine. Drop by and say "hi", maybe I have a minicard of one of our meals together.

An original subterranean magazine serving the 10-in and 6-in Gun Emplacements, and dated 1890. The structure is constructed mainly in concrete, with brick cavity-wall lining in the cartridge stores, and all the corners are neatly chamfered and stopped. it is whitewashed throughout, though there is evidence for other layers of paint beneath. Originally lit by lamps in recesses, the magazine retains evidence for electrical lighting. There is a central magazine corridor, aligned north-south, flanked on the west by a parallel passage and on the east by two cartridge magazines.
The principal entrance from the Fort is down an inclined ramp from the north-west, carried initially in a concrete-lined cutting up to strong outward-opening double metal gates. Beyond them the approach is in a subterranean vaulted tunnel, changing angle at the base of the ramp to cross the passage and central corridor to form a small lobby between the two magazines. The passage is 4ft 7in wide x 7ft 10in high to the apex of the barrel vault. Its southern arm is guarded by strong outward-opening double metal gates at the base of the steps ascending to the 10-inch gun emplacement. The northern arm passage is shorter but likewise has a flight of steps ascending to the 6-inch gun emplacement, the access has, however, been sealed by a complete blocking. There are no traces of gates, presumably because the steps led directly into the gun pit.
Along the western side of the passage are three rooms with simple lamp recesses in the wall beside them, the latter are 1ft 2in wide x 1ft 5in deep x 1ft 8in high. The rooms, starting from the south, measure 5ft 10in x 6ft 5in, 5ft 1in x 3ft 3in and 5ft 10in x 5ft 2in respectively and are entered through doorways 2ft 8in wide x 6ft 5in high, formerly with single inward-opening doors. Each room is barrel-vaulted and contain the remains of timber shelving along their western walls. The smaller central room was originally for lamp storage whereas the other two contained stores 10-in and 6-in guns. Along shallow recces along the eastern wall of the southern arm held brackets for side arms, further brackets were located along the northern arm, though these were not recessed. At the junction of the passage with the base of the ramped entrance, a rectangular pit measures 2ft 10in x 4ft 6in is the sump for drainage of the whole magazine, several drains can be seen leading to it.
The magazine corridor is 6ft wide x 7ft 10in high to the apex of the barrel vault. Access to it from the main entrance was guarded by double outward-opening doors with metal spikes and a grille above, though only traces of the frame survives in disturbed brickwork. To the south the corridor is 49ft 2in long before opening out into a rectilinear area 7ft 4in x 1oft, which contains the remains of an ammunition lift, one of the metal trays (which carried a single 10-in shell to ground level outside the emplacement) survives in situ, as does the winch mechanism (''No M941''). A shallow recess, inserted in the south wall, accommodated a soldier operating the winch. Two lamp recesses in the south and east walls, of the same dimensions to those in the passage, have York stone sills lintels, and ventilation bricks are located above and to the side, a slight rebate allows for glazing. Two more lamp recesses in the east wall are shared with the southern cartridge magazine. Substantial concrete supports for a later 3ft 2in high shelf are situated against the west wall.
To the north, the corridor is 32ft 5in long before a slight angle change in the end wall which has been considerably altered. The original ammunition lift was situated near the end of the corridor, now marked only by a rectangular hole in the ceiling. Another rectangular aperture, in the ceiling at the present end of the corridor, is associated with a slight recess in the west wall which allowed for turning of the winch handle, this is a second phase ammunition lift. A second lift, for shells, survives in situ, an inclined band lift, the base of which is supported by a wooden table on a concrete pillar. The chain, loading mechanism and lift winder are still in place and in the wall adjacent a simple lamp recces has been blocked and replaced with another, angled to throw the light onto the base of the lift, it has no sill or lintel but has a rudimentary ventilation brick.
Along the western wall of the corridor are a series of concrete pillars, the supports for a heavy continuous shelf, 3ft 3in high and around 2ft 7in wide, for storage of shells. A sign at the southern end of the northern arm of the corridor indentifies it as ''SHELL STORE 2''. Access to the two cartridge magazines was restricted by a waist-high barrier between the corridor and the lobby dividing them, a disturbed area of brickwork marks its position and the wall-corners are chamfered only above the barrier. In the lobby, there are scars of coathooks along the south wall, a seat existed along the north wall. At the very eastern end of lobby it was a subdivided to create a tiny room, the magazine store but all signs of this have disappeared, possibly during the insertion of a new door to the southern cartridge magazine.
The southern cartridge magazine is of cavity-walled construction, a rectangular room 27ft 1in long x 13ft 1in wide. The shallow brick vault, 7ft 10in high, has a central circular ceramic ventilator. There is one entrance, 3ft 6in x 6ft 2in high, formerly with two outward-opening double wooden doors. Two serving hatches, with York stone lintels, pierce the west wall, the northern one 2ft 6in wide, 2ft 11in deep x 2ft 11in high, with chamfered edges and the remains of a wooden sliding door. The southern hatch, 3ft 2in wide, 2ft 11in deep x 3ft 6in high, is the original of the two, it had double doors which opened into the hatch, with flap-down doors supported on short gun metal legs forming a serving table across which cartridges were passed on their way to the lift. Three lamp recesses, each 1ft 2in wide, 2ft 11in deep x 1ft 8in high, lit both magazine and corridor (one is situated immediately above the northern serving hatch).
An original plan shows a doorway into the southern cartridge magazine further west. Given that there are no obvious signs that the present doorway is not original, it is possible that the actual construction differed from the design represented by the plan. Alternatively the door may have been moved to enable insertion of the second serving hatch, probably when the adjacent corridor was converted to a shell store at an unknown date. The northern cartridge magazine is similar to its partner, but much smaller at 10ft 11in x 13ft 1in, and entered through an identical doorway. There is a circular ventilator in the vault close to the north wall. A single serving, 3ft 6in wide, 2ft 11in deep x 3ft 5in high, has a simple wooden frame for outward-opening double wooden doors, with a lamp recess (as described above) immediately above it. Four concrete pillars (and the scars of three more) formerly supported a shelf along the north, east and west walls, evidence, as in the magazine corridor, of its undated conversion into a shell store.
Here is a 15.5" x 22.5" serving tray made from cherry. It has a beading detail on the bottom and a clear urethan finish.

James and the quintessential serving motion. If you were to look up the tennis serve in a visual dictionary, you would see this motion.
Go Cassandra!
At tonight's game against Penn State.
