Building work on platform 4 at Liverpool Lime Street. The new platform face wall is well up, but with a big void still behind it.
Beyond, 319 365 and 319 384 stand in platforms 5 and 6.
Purchased 10/19/06. I finally broke down and bought the thing. He had it on promo. Came with a pretty cool graphic (rat fink is always cool, regardless of his history) and with a free hutch. It's hard for the tool trucks to carry hutches around with them, so it's coming via UPS in a couple weeks. This thing was way more than I wanted to pay, and it put me off buying the house for another year, but there was no more tricks to be had with my roll around. It was giving up.

The great rarity of this chair lies in the original wool Turkey-work that covers its seat and back. “Turkeywork” refers to a type of woven fabric with a knotted-and-cut wool pile that was made in England in imitation of Turkish carpets. Used for chairs, cushions, and table coverings, the fabric was exported in matching sets for chairs. Decorative fringe once covered the row of nails around the seat and back. Simple chair frames of this sort were also commonly upholstered in leather or plain wool fabric.
Provenance
Dr. Irving Whitall Lyon, Hartford, Connecticut, by 1891; his son, Dr. Irving P. Lyon, Buffalo, New York, by 1923; Mrs. J. Insley Blair, Tuxedo Park, New York, 1923-died 1951.

Long time no see. xD Yeah, so, I drew a pic of Christina Grimmie (from youtube) as a fan photo to her. What do you think? :]

I'm Irena. I work on the web and have a life.
More coming ... getting on with life.
So, here is more...I work as a multimedia/video producer at News Digital Media, Sydney. This basically means that 60% of my time I spend producing/designing custom interactives for NEWS.com.au and 40% of the time I produce video content for NEWS.com.au.
I reckon I am very lucky to have the job that I do. I got given the opportunity to come up with my role description, which got stuck since it has worked for a while now.
