Mr Spreadsheet,
Do you recognise this man? He is world famous for his use of spreadsheets and devising Itineraries, he can create a spreadsheet for anything you desire from your weekly household budget to the number of rivets per girder in the Forth Road Bridge, including where they were sourced and cost per thousand.
You see that number, 3003, well to this gentleman it’s not just a simple number on a Metrolink Tram, it is symmetrical, it has 4 digits (even number), it has 2 sets of 2 numbers (two 3’s and two 0’s), although the number 3003 is in actual fact an odd number by the time he is finished with it in a spreadsheet it would end up even, trust me. It is also a palindrome (reads the same backwards as it does forwards), there is no end to what he can do with this number; in fact any number. What this man can do with numbers and symmetry is just beyond belief.
So if you do recognise him could you please inform his family where you saw him,’Deansgate-Castlefield’ Tram Station. Oh and in case you are wondering who the TOG is, it’s Mr. Andy Rouse, my partner in crime for the day.

Yellow pollen loads clearly shown on a nice dark bee
At Rowallane Gardens on Thursday. I had the day off but needed to book this visit a week before as part of the crowd control Covid arrangements that the National Trust have had to put in place. Nice to see Rowallane again after a gap. In normal times i'd be here once a week.

Camera Obscura - I don't do crowds
Helleborus x hybridus (Ashwood Garden Hybrids) 'Ashwood Fascination'
Another from Rowallane gardens yesterday - in the walled garden. Of the several different helebores in flower, this was by far the most popular one with the bees today. So worth taking note of if you are looking for a helebore that is good for bees. And it is a great looking flower and plant too.

This Eucalyptus was planted as seedling that I was given in 2004. Then killed back to the ground in the bad winter of 2010 then surprisingly regenerated from the ground as 2 stems and now part of a crowded hedge. This plant is about 3 or 4 metres in height now. I think last year was the first that it produced flowers. I am really loving it this year! no idea what the species is.
edit - probably Eucalyptus pauciflora

By the way, I'm inordinately pleased at winning the Edinburgh Photographic Society Print Competition this year. Woohoo!

"Anybody Seen My Baby?" by The Rolling Stones
Salty tears
It's three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Is she really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
At the end of the Seventies, the only professional microcomputer was the Apple II. Connected to a dot-matrix printer and equipped with a spreadsheet, a word processor and a draft database, it allowed freelancers to carry out the basic tasks of what was already called office automation.

A la fin des années soixante-dix, le seul micro ordinateur à vocation professionnelle était l’Apple II. Connecté à une imprimante matricielle et doté d’un tableur, d’un traitement de texte et d’une ébauche de base de données, il permettait aux travailleurs indépendants d’assurer les tâches basiques de ce qui s’appelait déjà la bureautique .

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with 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.
Here, after arriving at Holt Station on the front of the Class 9F Double-Header, I got a photo of Loco 92203 - "Black Prince", a Riddles designed, Swindon Works built - BR Class 9F - 2-10-0
and WD 90775 "The Royal Norfolk Regiment" posing for Photos
before 90775 joined 8572 to form another Double Header.
I was VERY PLEASED to get this photo as I thought it would be unusual.
There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.

I watched this girl for ages on Sunday working the oregano flowers. I have quire a lot of oregano in pots. You really have to have quite a lot of something in flower in pots before the honey bees will start to work it at all. They just dont bother with things that are not substantive.

The Wurzels - Golden Brown
Somewhere in the middle of Wednesday morning I peered through a mild headache at the list of half term jobs I'd jotted down in my notebook. I was feeling tired and bored to the end of my wits with the banality of work and endless deadlines. November is possibly the most intense few weeks of the entire year for me, and though it's the last time I have to go through it before half a lifetime of spreadsheets comes to an end, I'm not looking the slightest bit forward to it. Seriously, if you're considering accountancy for a living, I urge you to think again. If you're thinking of taking your accountancy skills into the world of education - just don't do it. Or at least don't stay forever like I have. Maybe I'm just suffering from burnout after more than thirty years of endless nine to five, but it is exceptionally tedious almost all of the time. I tried to talk my son into doing something more interesting for a living, but he ignored my advice and followed me into this world. I tried anyway.
What cheered me though was that there were ticks beside most of the items on this list. I read the entries one more time and noted that the scariest items were all marked as either complete or as far underway as possible. "At least when term resumes I've got a head start," I reasoned to myself, and with that came a rare moment of spontaneity. "Can you manage if I take a couple of days off?" I asked Katie, my wonderful deputy. "Of course. You need a rest." After all she has to look at me every day so she can tell better than just about everyone else when I need a break.
And so here I am, sitting at home with a small vat of coffee after a delightful Thursday adventure with Lee, which included an all day breakfast with what must surely be the best view from a supermarket cafe in Britain (Sainsbury's in Penzance if you need to ask) and a wander to a predictably people packed Land's End to make some test shots for Longships lighthouse, to which we'll return in more suitable conditions later in the winter. We certainly won't be returning while they try to charge us seven quid to park for an hour there anyway. We drove back down a road for half a mile and parked along a side road before walking back.
We'd planned to finish here at Sennen Cove in the knowledge that the high tide would bring some drama to the breakwater. It's always worth an outing when the sea is in a bad mood. What we weren't prepared for as we drove down the big hill into the cove was the sight of three figures leaping from the breakwater into the protected harbour area as a huge wave hit it. Surely we'd imagined it. Who'd do a crazy thing like that a day after a storm that had brought thirty foot high waves to the Cornish coast?
We hadn't imagined it. Four local lads, none of them older than about fifteen, spent the next hour clambering onto the narrow wall and leaping into the water beneath them at the moment each roller hit the breakwater in front of a large number of onlookers. It struck me that if any of them somehow ended up on the western side of the breakwater they'd be in terrible trouble, possibly with fatal results, but this thought didn't appear to have occurred to them. Maybe I'm just getting old - I suspect they do this a lot at high tide and they probably wait for days like this. I won't be trying it myself in any case.
Later on, when to my relief I'd counted all four of them leaving the scene and heading for home they were replaced by an enormous seal at the water's edge drawn here by a lone angler bracing his rod against the ever energetic flow beneath him. If there were any fish to be had, my money was on the seal. The light faded, the onlookers moved on, and with more than enough raw files to try and choose one from our work was done. It had been so much more fun than eight hours of staring at a computer in confusion. I've decided that once the worst of the next few weeks is done I'm going to have another long weekend too.
Happy Friday everyone - enjoy your weekends.

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, Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" has completed the journey back from Percy Main station to Middle Engine Lane.

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.
On the frozen planet of X-M45, deep within the Septenpolus wilderness, lies the ancient Seed Vault.
This is my contribution to the community MFZ Advent Calendar that I'm "curating". Quite a time crunch to get it done by the due date, but if you are interested in participating, please sign up for a day (December 1st through 24th) on Google Sheets.
Happy Holidays!

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!!

The Longbow is a dedicated artillery-support frame. Armed with a C3 railgun, concealed MT-TOW missiles, sensor array, and targeting laser, it can deliver heavy ordinance at range while providing precision-guidance for allies.
Another contribution to the community MFZ Advent Calendar, and a frame no less. It's getting down to the wire to submit (Nov 30th), but If you are interested in participating, please sign up for a day (December 1st through 24th) on Google Sheets.

The Cranberries - I Will Always & Wanted
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. :)
No conference calls, no spreadsheets or teams, no bad coffee, no confining walls ... just me, fresh air, my camera and the universe. Everything was in order.
I have grown sufficient oregano on the patio to get the bees interested (they just dont bother with wee patches of stuff) and then to be then able to see that the pollen load is an orangy yellow colour ...and then manage to get a reasonable picture to show it!
& pleased to have done so
for my Honey bees on named flowers set!
...And also for adding eventually to the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-_uJANb_oKgIZLEvm0mFjYq3W... (please do consider checking it out if you have time!)

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.
