Now I'll say straight off that the Asda staff were indeed 'happy to help' so well done to them. Plus the company has successfully managed a run of 70+ home deliveries without mishap which is some achievement in modern Britain. Not last night though!
As time ticked by for our 20.00-22.00 slot we began to speculate if they would pass their previous 22.04 record for a latest ever arrival. So it was a bit of a surprise when the phone never rang because the driver was lost and needed 'talking in' to the delivery address. In fact we were worried that he / she had been in an accident, perhaps hitting a deer or ending up in a ditch.....not uncommon events in the dark of a rural Dorset night.
I picked up the trail this morning. Driving down to the local store seemed the easiest way of sorting things out. Yes, the lady behind the customer service desk was 'happy to help'. She phoned down to her colleague in the Home Delivery / Click and Collect department who rummaged around for a couple of minutes and discovered the missing order still in the freezer / chiller / storage compartments of a delivery van. "Would I like to collect it from the Click and Collect?" "Yes I would"
Moving the car to the C&C point, the 'happy to help' supervisor was waiting. She had no idea what had happened. However, it wasn't a road accident as she said "the first thing I usually hear about when I arrive for work is if there has been an accident the night before. I've heard nothing" She did reveal that the driver, who I won't name, was relatively new and that she would find out later from him what happened. He would be given further "training" especially with regard to contacting customers directly by phone if there was a problem.
Of course the service / delivery charge of a £1 was refunded. Unpacking back at base, a further twist in the tale revealed that we had all the ordered products but with several bonus items - a large bag of Mc Cain's French Fries, 6 medium free-range eggs and Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Cream. No doubt some other customer(s) will have been contacting the 'happy to help' team.

A cellarium (from the Latin cella, "pantry"), also known as an undercroft, was a storehouse or storeroom, usually in a medieval monastery or castle. In English monasteries it was usually located in or under the buildings on the west range of the cloister.
The monastery's supplies of food, ale and wines were stored there, under the supervision of the cellarer, one of the monastery's obedientiaries. He was often assisted by a sub-cellarer.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately three miles south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The abbey is a Grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and part of the designated Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After a dispute and riot in 1132 at the Benedictine house of St Mary's Abbey, in York, 13 monks were expelled (among them Saint Robert of Newminster) and, after unsuccessfully attempting to return to the early 6th-century Rule of St Benedict, were taken into the protection of Thurstan, Archbishop of York. He provided them with land in the valley of the River Skell, a tributary of the Ure. The enclosed valley had all the natural features needed for the creation of a monastery, providing shelter from the weather, stone and timber for building, and a supply of running water. After enduring a harsh winter in 1133, the monks applied to join the Cistercian order and in 1135 became the second house of that order in northern England, after Rievaulx. The monks subjected themselves to Clairvaux Abbey, in Burgundy which was under the rule of St Bernard. Under the guidance of Geoffrey of Ainai, a monk sent from Clairvaux, the group learned how to celebrate the seven Canonical Hours and were shown how to construct wooden buildings in accordance with Cistercian practice.
After Henry Murdac was elected to the abbacy in 1143, the small stone church and timber claustral buildings were replaced. Within three years, an aisled nave had been added to the stone church, and the first permanent claustral buildings built in stone and roofed in tile had been completed.
In 1146 an angry mob, displeased with Murdac's role in opposing the election of William FitzHerbert to the archbishopric of York, attacked the abbey and burnt down all but the church and some surrounding buildings. The community recovered swiftly from the attack and founded four daughter houses. Henry Murdac resigned the abbacy in 1147 to become the Archbishop of York and was replaced first by Maurice, Abbot of Rievaulx then, on the resignation of Maurice, by Thorald. Thorald was forced by Henry Murdac to resign after two years in office. The next abbot, Richard, held the post until his death in 1170 and restored the abbey's stability and prosperity. In 20 years as abbot, he supervised a huge building programme which involved completing repairs to the damaged church and building more accommodation for the increasing number of recruits. Only the chapter house was completed before he died and the work was ably continued by his successor, Robert of Pipewell, under whose rule the abbey gained a reputation for caring for the needy.
The next abbot was William who presided over the abbey from 1180 to 1190 and he was succeeded by Ralph Haget, who had entered Fountains at the age of 30 as a novice, after pursuing a military career. During the European famine of 1194 Haget ordered the construction of shelters in the vicinity of the abbey and provided daily food rations to the poor enhancing the abbey's reputation for caring for the poor and attracting more grants from wealthy benefactors.
In the first half of the 13th century Fountains increased in reputation and prosperity under the next three abbots, John of York (1203â1211), John of Hessle (1211â1220) and John of Kent (1220â1247). They were burdened with an inordinate amount of administrative duties and increasing demands for money in taxation and levies but managed to complete another massive expansion of the abbey's buildings. This included enlarging the church and building an infirmary. In the second half of the 13th century the abbey was in more straitened circumstances. It was presided over by eleven abbots, and became financially unstable largely due to forward selling its wool crop, and the abbey was criticised for its dire material and physical state when it was visited by Archbishop John Romeyn in 1294. The run of disasters that befell the community continued into the early 14th century when northern England was invaded by the Scots and there were further demands for taxes. The culmination of these misfortunes was the Black Death of 1349â1349. The loss of manpower and income due to the ravages of the plague was almost ruinous.
A further complication arose as a result of the Papal Schism of 1378â1409. Fountains Abbey along with other English Cistercian houses was told to break off any contact with the mother house of Citeaux, which supported a rival pope. This resulted in the abbots forming their own chapter to rule the order in England and consequently they became increasingly involved in internecine politics. In 1410, following the death of Abbott Burley of Fountains, the community was riven by several years of turmoil over the election of his successor. Contending candidates John Ripon, Abbot of Meaux, and Roger Frank, a monk of Fountains were locked in discord until 1415 when Ripon was finally appointed and presided until his death in 1434. Under abbots John Greenwell (1442â1471), Thomas Swinton (1471â8), John Darnton (1478â95), who undertook some much needed restoration of the fabric of the abbey including notable work on the church, and Marmaduke Huby (1495â1526) Fountains regained stability and prosperity.
When Marmaduke Huby died he was succeeded by William Thirsk who was accused by the royal commissioners of immorality and inadequacy and dismissed from the abbacy and replaced by Marmaduke Bradley, a monk of the abbey who had reported Thirsk's supposed offences, testified against him and offered the authorities six hundred marks for the abbacy. In 1539 Bradley surrendered the abbey when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The abbey precinct covered 70 acres (28 ha) surrounded by an 11-foot (3.4 m) wall built in the 13th century, some parts of which are visible to the south and west of the abbey. The area consists of three concentric zones cut by the River Skell flowing from west to east across the site. The church and claustral buildings stand at the centre of the precinct north of the Skell, the inner court containing the domestic buildings stretches down to the river and the outer court housing the industrial and agricultural buildings lies on the river's south bank. The early abbey buildings were added to and altered over time, causing deviations from the strict Cistercian type. Outside the walls were the abbey's granges.
The original abbey church was built of wood and "was probably" two-stories high; it was, however, quickly replaced in stone. The church was damaged in the attack on the abbey in 1146 and was rebuilt, in a larger scale, on the same site. Building work was completed c.1170. This structure, completed around 1170, was 300-foot (91 m) long and had 11 bays in the side aisles. A lantern tower was added at the crossing of the church in the late 12th century. The presbytery at the eastern end of the church was much altered in the 13th century. The church's greatly lengthened choir, commenced by Abbot John of York, 1203â11, and carried on by his successor terminates, like that of Durham Cathedral, in an eastern transept, the work of Abbot John of Kent, 1220â47. The 160-foot (49 m) tall tower, which was added not long before the dissolution, by Abbot Huby, 1494â1526, is in an unusual position at the northern end of the north transept and bears Huby's motto 'Soli Deo Honor et Gloria'. The sacristry adjoined the south transept.
The cloister, which had arcading of black marble from Nidderdale and white sandstone, is in the centre of the precinct and to the south of the church. The three-aisled chapter-house and parlour open from the eastern walk of the cloister and the refectory, with the kitchen and buttery attached, are at right angles to its southern walk. Parallel with the western walk is an immense vaulted substructure serving as cellars and store-rooms, which supported the dormitory of the conversi (lay brothers) above. This building extended across the river and at its south-west corner were the latrines, built above the swiftly flowing stream. The monks' dormitory was in its usual position above the chapter-house, to the south of the transept. Peculiarities of this arrangement include the position of the kitchen, between the refectory and calefactory, and of the infirmary above the river to the west, adjoining the guest-houses.

As sometimes happens, I only get to see the whole picture during PP. I didn't realize that this hungry caterpillar was being observed by a small green grasshopper. I have trawled through my butterfly book, but can't ID the caterpillar. Maybe it is a moth - perhaps a hawkmoth? A rather imperfect shot, but I liked the situation.
Palermo
Palermo Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Palermo, located in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. As an architectural complex, it is characterized by the presence of different styles, due to a long history of additions, alterations and restorations, the last of which occurred in the 18th century.
The church was erected in 1185 by Walter Ophamil, the Norman archbishop of Palermo and King William II's minister, on the area of an earlier Byzantine basilica. By all accounts this earlier church was founded by Pope Gregory I and was later turned into a mosque by the Arabs after their conquest of the city in the 9th century. Ophamil is buried in a sarcophagus in the church's crypt. The medieval edifice had a basilica plan with three apses.
The upper orders of the corner towers were built between the 14th and the 15th centuries, while in the early Renaissance period the southern porch was added. The present neoclassical appearance dates from the work carried out over the two decades 1781 to 1801, supervised by Ferdinando Fuga and Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia. During this period the great retable by Gagini, decorated with statues, friezes and reliefs, was destroyed and the sculptures moved to different parts of the basilica. Also by Fuga are the great dome emerging from the main body of the building, and the smaller domes covering the aisles' ceilings.
Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale is a series of nine religious and civic structures located on the northern coast of Sicily dating from the era of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily (1130-1194): two palaces, three churches, a cathedral, and a bridge in Palermo, as well as the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale. They have been designated together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This dedication took place in 2015.
My shower was not installed properly, before I moved in, so Dave has been here this week to make it right. Tessa hung out with him every day. At first, I thought she was supervising the work or, at least, keeping him company but in seeing this photo I now suspect the lamp was a good source of heat for her. Silly me.

OK, so we're really guest passengers of American Steamship on their 1,000-ft. MV American Spirit. Here, my better half Mary Kay, is let's say "observing" the loading of 68,000 tons of taconite Mustang flux pellets. The pellets were produced at United Taconite and are being loaded at the CN Dock in Duluth, MN. The American Spirit will take these pellets across Lakes Superior and Michigan to Arcelor Mittal's steel mill in Indiana Harbor, IN just east of Chicago. It's 3pm on a beautiful September afternoon in northern Minnesota.

Last year, when Ohanessian didn't come home for two days, and we have searched him continuously, we had the opportunity to make acquaintance with at least half of the people on our village, and that's how we've found out Gogu's story: someone abandoned him as an adult cat, and he lived for five years wandering through the village, hunting birds and mice, sometimes receiving treats from the people, but no one could pet him, he was very cautious. In the last year and a half, he started visiting us, and a couple of months ago he entered the house following Mushi. He's still a free cat, comes and goes as he wants, but he likes to be hugged and loved :)
There was a long process, but I think he just found a place to call "home".

The bird bath provides endless entertainment all summer long for the people in the house, and the cat, who is only allowed to watch through glass or a screened window.
Various species visit it, some to drink, as in this image, some to bathe, some to do both.
To avoid disturbing the birds, all bird bath photos were taken through a window, resulting in some degradation of image quality.
