Today (aptly) the WAH theme is computers. I am currently using up my annual leave by pulling together information on cornish chapels and churches (current and historic) to help me in the quest to photo them all (I am now collaborating with some national projects to do this, which is very exciting).
However, today, for some reason, I lost the entire spreadsheet for Kerrier district (2 days work). Not sure why, but it is not retrievable so I have had to start all over again!! Good thing it's a 'hobby' and i find it interesting!
this also explains my fairly minimal presence on Flickr - once the spreadsheets are done, I will be back properly!!
Providence & Worcester 2215 leads Connecticut Southern train CSO-4 south on the Springfield Line at Hayden Station Road in Windsor. 2215 is one of the two "Super 7s" that were on the P&W roster. 2216 has already been shipped off to Ohio. I'd be willing to guess 2215 will be shortly behind. I guess it must make sense on the G&W spreadsheet.

A looooong day in the office. A senior management team meeting. An HR review. Budget spreadsheets. A draft funding bid. Expense forms, IT troubleshooting when the damned computer freezes. And so on and on. So tired on the evening bus journey home, all I can do is stare zombie-like through a rain-streaked window.... and take photographs.
The bee is using 2 flowers to spread her weight. When she lands on one flower the stem bends under the weight and ends up against the top of the wall. Pale cream pollen load clearly illustrated.
This will eventually go on the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Saturday of a 3 day Steam Gala,
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
There were 2 Visiting Engines and some of 5 of the Home Fleet Locomotives scheduled to run on an intensive timetable.
Here, on my first Steam Heritage Railway Visit of 2022, Taff Vale no 85, a Riches designed and Kitson built Class 02 0-6-2T locomotive is heading Loco no. 41241, an Ivatt designed and Crewe Works built Class 2MT 2-6-2T are running round the train at Oxenhope Station after just moving forward into the head shunt.
This is the first Double Header which hauled a train that I caught today.

There was something about the way the woman swayed gently as she walked towards us across the dimly lit floor of the pub that suggested she was well practised at the art of disguising how much she'd had to drink. Just the slightest hint betrayed the likelihood she'd been to the bar a couple of times more than we had; no more than that. Dave is pretty much teetotal because he says he's allergic to alcohol and only allows himself a single pint of a black stuff when we go to Twickenham for the rugby internationals. I'm not averse to the odd pint, but I can't remember the last time I followed it up with a second one, so while I'd have probably been staggering about in a zig-zag fashion, he'd have been lying face down on the floor and asking to be taken home. In each hand she held a brown paper bag containing a lukewarm pasty, the final leftovers from the gathering. "There's always a few left at the end - I'd have made sure they were all gone earlier than this if I were in charge," she announced with not the slightest hint of a slur. "Here you go." It would serve me well for lunch on Saturday while Ali was at work, I thought. I've no idea who our go-between was, but the pasty was the final present from the man we'd come to say farewell to.
Sometimes, maybe once or twice in a lifetime the sudden departure of a public figure is shared worldwide and everything stands still for a moment or two. We remember exactly where we were, who we were with and what we were doing during the moment frozen in time. Some people I've heard refer to these as the "Kennedy" moments. I wasn't born when the events in Dallas took place, but I remember so clearly waking up at the house of my then in-laws in Preston in the north of England and finding everyone gaping silently at a television set showing a tunnel in Paris with the wreckage of a big black Mercedes dashed against a dark wall. In the 1990's I was in my own tornado blown tunnel, a young father trying to find the best version of himself for his two small children; a young husband struggling to cope with the trials of an already failing marriage; a young man who'd gone wrong somewhere before and now found himself trapped in a dead end job that rewarded little, neither financially nor spiritually. Events in the lives of the great and the good largely passed us by as we did our best to keep our heads above water. There was an interview on the television that gripped the nation, yet we barely registered it; a repeated comment in the office about "three in the marriage right from the start" didn't even raise an eyebrow. And then one afternoon Princess Diana was in Truro, visiting a drug rehabilitation centre just along the road from the firm of land agents where I worked. We stood in the staff car park, dutifully waiting for the entourage to come past. I really wasn't that bothered, but reflected that at least we'd been unchained from our desks for half an hour longer than usual. "What's all the fuss? She's only a square's daughter," boomed the surviving founding partner, a man we thought almost as aristocratic as the royals themselves. I think he meant "squire" rather than "square," but that's how he spoke. Whether he really meant that or it was his attempt at humour I was never certain, but he wasn't impressed that the police had made him park somewhere down the road rather than let him through. Eventually a huge limousine crept along the road past us and for a few fleeting seconds we saw her, and in those moments I was stunned; cast under a spell in fact. I hadn't been prepared for the movie star looks and the smile that almost melted the granite gateposts at the entrance to the car park. I'd like to tell you that for the briefest second I caught her eye, but of course I didn't. Suddenly I understood the mania of the previous fifteen years that until then had completely eluded me. I've never seen another human who exuded such radiance. That smile. It hit me again like a hammer blow on that late summer morning when we heard the news and the country went into mourning. I still see that smile - another frozen moment in fact. Some things just stay with you.
There are other events that only affect a family, or a circle of friends. I was photographing the remains of this Laurel tree after we'd walked down from the freezing cold summit of Pico Ruivo, Madeira's highest mountain when the phone sounded in my pocket. It was Dave with some bad news. Les had been found at his home by the police, who'd had to break in because he wasn't answering anyone's messages. He'd been dead for some time - a heart attack was the culprit it seemed; ironic for a man with such a big heart. Seventy really doesn't seem that old anymore. I'd come to know him through the workplace, and in the wider world during the last few years we moved at the peripheries of a group of friends that he'd grown up with. We hadn't worked directly together, but with someone like Les that didn't matter. Warm, gentle, kind, hilarious and loved by so many of his colleagues he was one of those rare people who transcended the norms of mutual respect in a place that employed well over a thousand staff. In all of the years I worked there, only a tiny number of people seemed to garner such universal approval from their workmates. The students adored him too - he was an IT support tutor - often interrupting my workflow with a spreadsheet problem he wanted me to look at. Because it was Les, I never minded the intrusion. "You're a treasure," he'd always say as I explained my solution to him. People would just smile if you mentioned him. "What's he like?" they would giggle as they remembered something daft he'd said or did just the other day, no doubt that with famous mischievous twinkle in his eye as he did so. Les had a habit of making people feel at ease. One afternoon he appeared at the door of the office I'd just been unwillingly promoted into and found me peering miserably into my screen. "What the f**k you doing in here?" he frowned, before characteristically breaking into a big trademark grin. It was the first time I'd laughed all day. I remembered the time we'd finally managed to persuade him to turn up for a Sunday morning staff football match after years of trying, the first time he'd played in about forty years, so he told us. When he scored a goal there was a bout of unabashed man hugging of the kind usually only reserved for the professional game. We talked about that game for years, long after all the other ones had been mostly forgotten. Dave later told me Les had played at county level as a teenager, and then for a local rugby club well into adulthood. Some of the stories Dave tells about the naughty side of Les from those rugby tours are best left unwritten, no matter how funny they are - besides which I wouldn't do them justice. I never quite get the full thread of exactly what happened because he's always helpless with laughter at the memory well before getting to the end of the anecdote. Sport aside Les was a very gifted artist, winning the school prize every year, always encouraged my burgeoning love for landscape photography. What makes things all the more sad is that he was alone at the end. He wasn't quite as beautiful as the Princess of Wales - almost, but not quite, although a passing resemblance to Paul Newman in his youth was mentioned in the eulogy and he unarguably exuded a certain radiance. His fabled orange perma-tan was legendary among his friends for starters.
The funeral was last week. Dave and Gareth, who'd grown up with him were among the coffin bearers. Henry delivered a moving speech about the "dear sweet boy" who'd made him feel so welcome on his first day at his new school after moving down from Yorkshire and had remained friends with him for more than fifty years. Tim, with tears in his eyes and a contagious lump in his throat faltered through the final lines of "This Is My Cornwall." He only just managed to complete the song. Ali and I, who only knew him for the last twenty years of his life croaked the words to the bits we knew. Friendships that endured a lifetime for those who shared them. In the pub we chewed thoughtfully on pasties and remembered the Les we loved with former colleagues who'd long since retired. And then the lady under the influence weaved towards us with the second round of pasties. It seemed rude not to - especially when Les had sent them to us.
And so it's the memory of Les I will forever cherish whenever I look at this picture and return to that frozen moment; the feeling of emptiness that a dearly held friend and a lovable rogue had gone from the world. This picture will always be his. Ali was silent when I told her what the message said. "He was lovely," she whispered. We barely spoke as we continued our descent, each of us lost in quiet sadness on the lonely mountain path. I'd originally edited this in black and white, but Les was a colourful man. I think he'd have liked the silver and green against the misty mountainside. Rest in peace Les - I'll keep sharing pictures with you mate.

Because even when you're the genius inventor, responsible for the construction of a new generation of powerplants running on the trans-pink ore based breakthrough technology you discovered -that will render steam wholly obsolete-, you still have to fill in the administrative paperwork...

Boa noite, amigas! :)
Hoje é dia de sorteio! \o/
Como anda demorando muito para chegar o material para que eu possa fabricar as misturinhas em quantidade, vou mandar o tédio da espera de vocês embora com um sorteio pra animar! :)
Como vocês estão vendo na foto principal e nas dos comentários, há 14 misturinhas disponíveis, e 5 delas serão fabricadas em quantidade assim que chegar o material. As outras irão sendo incluídas aos poucos.
Eu vou sortear 5 delas e mais uma Yin Yang de brinde (dupe do Connect the dots da Lynnderella), mas quem vai escolher quais serão as elas, são vocês.
Então o que eu queria que vocês fizessem? Que preenchessem um formulário dizendo quais dessas 13 (não vai entrar a Yin Yang nas escolhas) são as suas 5 favoritas. A pessoa que ganhar, obviamente, levará as 5 que tiver escolhido. E eu terei uma idéia de quais dessas misturinhas vocês preferem, para que eu tente fabricar elas primeiro. :)
Escolham as 5 que vocês querem levar pra casa (menos a Yin Yang que já vai de brinde) nesse formulário aqui. :)
BOA SORTE! :D
Sorteio válido apenas para território brasileiro.
O RESULTADO SAIRÁ NA PRÓXIMA QUARTA-FEIRA DIA 20-06-2012 ÀS 23:00 APROXIDAMENTE. :)

A Quick Trip to see the Victor and Vulcan together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the .Victor and Vulcan together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.
Here, 403 - "Victor" has just hauled a Train up from Percy Main and is about to run round to haul a train I catch to the other end of the approximately 2 mile long line.

I looked outside my window once more onto a grey unpromising world. The forecast it seemed was wrong; there was no sign of the patches of blue sky and sunshine I'd been promised and so I made a second mug of coffee and switched on the television, intending to clear a couple of episodes of "Around the World in Eighty Days" while I had the house to myself. That's the way it works isn't it? Some things we watch together, but on other occasions the one of us who's been dragged into a series they were never that interested in seeing in the first place makes their almost immediate boredom plain by reaching for their mobile within the first few minutes. More than once I've come home to find Sarah Jessica Parker on the screen and stifled a sigh. And I'm not talking about celebrity crushes here either.
As least now I have a little cubby hole to hide in when "Sex in the City" and similar other televisual offerings have won the hour. In the middle of a sleepless night a few days earlier a lightning bolt had landed somewhere between my ears, a moment which found me comparing the relative merits and prices of an almost inexhaustible number of desks on Amazon the following morning. The happy result is that I have an office of sorts in which to edit my photos and write up the accompanying episodes. Before this change, the PC sat next to the sofa in the living room, in the corner where Ali generally sits, and as she's clearly the boss it meant that the creative juices needed to be flowing at exactly the same time that I managed to slip into the hot seat for a chance of any editorial shenanigans to take place. It's a very liberating experience being able to sit at one's desk and be completely focused on a labour of love rather than the hideous mental gymnastics that I used to have to do at work. Even my deputy Katie thought I wouldn't be able to resist the odd spreadsheet after I retired, but in the four months that have flown by, I've left them behind completely. Not even once have I dreamed of turning a data download into a pivot table. Never have I felt the need to apply a vlookup formula to a long column of numbers. I didn't even wince when I finally said goodbye to my last set of management accounts, the seamless report that I'd invented several years earlier and had almost regarded as my third child. Now, the most important thing I have to remember is whether to put the recycling out with the wheelie bin on a Wednesday evening. It makes me very happy indeed. One day I'll finally write the story of that 400 mile touring bike holiday in France - you know, the one where Lee managed to empty an entire shelf at the patisserie one shining Breton morning to the complete dismay of the queue of customers behind him. We needed the calories. What made his efforts all the more impressive was that the only French word he knew was "bonjour." He seemed to be very useful at pointing at things and grinning encouragingly.
Halfway into the second episode, by which time David Tennant and his friends were on a journey across India trying to rescue a lovestruck subaltern from a sorry end at a court martial I glanced towards the window and noticed a chink of blue above and the beginnings of a tell-tale glow to the west. Maybe the good old BBC were right after all - unlike the TV series I was watching, it seemed things were sticking to the original script. It was already 2:30pm and there were little more than two hours until sunset.
Ten minutes later I was in the car, camera bag and all, heading to my favourite spot, and a little after 3pm I was on the beach, smelling the sights and sounds of a deliciously cold January afternoon. The sun had appeared in a misty haze, lighting the beach from where it hovered above the distant bluff. I set up camp on the eastern side of the spot where the Red River runs down the beach and into the Atlantic, dabbling with long exposures on the fast flowing water as it collided with the gentle incoming surf. Later I moved up to the cliff by the lifeguard hut and watched the colours becoming darker and ever more saturated, the yellows and blues gradually mutating into oranges and magentas, and all the while the light reigned supreme in this beautiful sunset moment. The few who'd come here to stroll along the beach had mostly disappeared when finally I sat on a dune watching the day vanish into a lilac pastel dusk, and listening to the waves breaking with an easy rhythm on the shoreline below. What had looked so unpromising had somehow morphed into a memorable golden hour. Better than watching the telly, that's for sure. There's always something different to capture here - it never stops giving me presents, whatever the weather brings.

A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.
Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.
Here, 2999 - "Lady of Legend", a 4-6-0 built in between 2009 and 2019 is in steam and will run on the main Demonstration Line.
2999 was built in such a way that it can be a 4-4-2 or as here a 4-6-0 version of the GWR 2900 "Saint" Class, None of which survived into Preservation. Some parts from Hall or Manor Locomotives were used in the build to an original Churchward design.
