Happy Friday! Can you believe we're almost halfway through October? It's flying by! I'm so happy with how warm it's stayed, but it seems like that will be coming to an end pretty soon. For today's post, I decided to do a small roundup of some fall outfits that have been popular on Instagram. 🙂 If you see anything you love and want to shop, just click right on the picture!
This button flap skirt is definitely one of my favorite fall finds. The bow is such a fun touch and it's currently on sale for $29! It's also available in all sizes, so I'd definitely grab it now if you love it! It'll be perfect with tights when it gets colder too.
This sweater is as soft as it looks! I shared all about this comfy piece from Mamie Boutique in this post. You will never believe the price! My mom bought it as soon as she saw mine because it's THAT good!
This look, including this dress that I bought in 5 colors, was from my Easy Fall Outfit post. It's so comfortable and work friendly that it's hard to pass up!
This sweater pretty much speaks for itself! It's so unique, but so classic and it's a heavy material, so it's pretty warm too. It often goes on sale for 40% off, so I'd keep an eye out for that if you love it!
This picture was from my last post – A Day In Cooperstown – where I share how we celebrated my mom's birthday!
These olive green pants are SO comfortable and I get a ton of compliments when I wear them! You can check them out in this blog post.
Thanks so much for reading! Hope you have a great weekend!

Whilst picking up yet more building materials on Friday, I met up with a chap driving a converted Nissan Vanette Cargo. I parked alongside and we had a quick chat. His van, a "Star" with raising roof, had a fore and aft side sofa opposite a kitchen with side cabinets on the nearside. It was in lovely condition and he got it for just £2,000 ! It looked a real bargain to me. He had bought a few weeks before and is currently holidaying in Wales for the first time. He had bought an awning for £45 from ebay. The photo shows a similar base vehicle to his. The mid-engine Vanette handles quite nicely. There were two facelifts and even an LDV re-badged version. He had owned classic VW's before but found the running costs to be high and the performance not so good. Let's hope that this camper runs as good as it looks. It brightened up another busy unscheduled working day !
Visiting the Diamond that is North Wales25 Mar
Yesterday, we visited the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ( see http://www.clwydianrangeanddeevalleyaonb.org.uk/where-is-the-aonb-/) which was fairly recently extended into Llangollen and beyond. The diamond refers to the shape on the map joining Wrexham, Denbigh, Ruthin and Mold. We went to all four to seek out antiques. On the way home we diverted via the downhill stretch of the Horseshoe Pass, into Llangollen and skirting past one of my favourite ruins, Castell Dynas Bran
see marksadler.com
What a superb photograph ! The Castel ruin can be seen in the distance atop the mound. It's a challenging climb up, so be warned ! I think the photo is taken from World's End. My father trained in Surveying there and nearby when I was a small boy.
To lend or not to lend? That is the Question.23 Mar
"Dad, can the kamper carry two bikes?". A good question. The van is indeed equipped to carry three bikes via a Thule (pron Toola (I believe)), towball mounted rack not too dissimilar to that above. It fits comfortably on the Thule towbar (pron Toe Barr)). We used it on our previous Motor home and it did a sterling job.
My son wants to take his girlfriend cycling. (It's my fault, I introduced him to cycling at a young age. He wore out the nylon bearings on his first tiny Wolfcub bike , riding round and round the Lac de Maine , Angers, France. Swynerton's bike shop could not believe it. No one had done such mileages before!
Of course, I will loan the Kamper to him. But he will have to commit to not thrashing it! It does not need to be thrashed. It makes good progress using just 2,000 rpm and the 6 speed gearbox.
Years ago I had a 17 year old mate who used to drive his Dad's Daimler V12. He was trusted. He never crashed it. He did however achieve very high speeds on the roads of North Staffordshire !
Am I mad or I am I mad to do this ?
This one is a Coupe. Only 400 sold in UK I believe. "Brooksey, are you out there reading this?"
Campervan design. Risk taking and Intellectual property22 Mar
Years ago, for almost a decade, I made a very nice living from experiences built up in a very specialised, high risk (health and safety) environment. By the end of the decade, I had to contract my customers not to steal my knowledge from me. How times change!
There are not too many converters out there in the UK using the NV200 Nissan as a base vehicle. It is a big investment in time, money and effort to put together the necessary "package." Just think how much work goes into making, say, a fibreglass composite raising roof as an example. It is almost as complex as making a speed boat with all the engineering considerations. Once you have actually got a roof with a lovely finish that will fit correctly, not flex too much whilst travelling then your next worry is " how long will it take to get back our investment?". In these fickle times it is not an easy question to answer. A great deal of financial risk is required. A calculated risk based on marketing research and experience from previous endeavours but risk none the less! Don't forget to add in the cost of research and previous experiences , both good and bad.
Imagine then, someone coming along and copying your design or worse still, taking a mould from your roof, for an example, and then selling it as their own. No doubt some clever dodger will have contractual reasons why they can take such a risk but in my book, it's theft. No ifs, no buts. Theft.
Personally, if I could prove, without doubt that someone had stolen my intellectual property I would publish it to the world and encourage potential customers to boycott the thieves!
Now all of this, is of course, pure speculation but some of the stories from converters are quite alarming!
Back to lighter topics soon.
First test of tunnel tent15 Mar
This is the actual tunnel tent that we bought yesterday for a tiny amount! It is not as grand as the example photo I posted yesterday but incredible value for money! I am not experienced in putting up tents and this one was made even more difficult because the instructions, which were quite poor anyway, were in Hungarian! Hence the low price no doubt! LOL.
I used Google translation to at least give me a guide. On the first word, Google detected the language as Estonian but changed it's decision to Hungarian once a sentence was typed into the box. It could not translate all the words typed and at one point, I had two four letter swear words in my English translation box. One of the words could definitely have referred to the instructions. (see French " Merde"). The other swear word was muttered by myself several times when I got around to putting up the tent.
It took me about an hour to actually put it up. I did make written instructions and a couple of sketches in case my son borrows it.(Told you I was inexperienced at this stuff……..). The end result was however quite pleasing. Despite the freakish high wind which had crept in suddenly during this time, the tent itself (Outlander Geo 6) was impressive. A huge enclosed space with an inner tent with three compartments, each with sown in groundsheet and insect mesh curtains. Lots of ventilation and extra spare tie cords.
Conclusions : 1. I am terrible at putting up tents and awnings due to chronic impatience. 2. This tent is a bargain. Well made for the price to put it mildly. 3. Not the most stable in the wind but that is compared to an all year round, heavy duty Raclet caravan awning with steel frame. 4. This tent is a good alternative for use with the kamper, the caravan or as a warm weather camping tent. It should do a good job in Angers in June
Campervan, caravan, awnings and tents14 Mar
We saw a six man tunnel tent for sale at our local market town bargain basement warehouse. It is similar to the one in the photo. It can double up as an awning for the Kamper, the caravan or as just a tent for us to all use.
Putting it up on the lawn this weekend to see it in the flesh. I am putting the Raclet caravan awning up for sale on here very shortly.
A good dry and warm day for waterproofing roof textile.9 Mar
Today we have had the warmest of the year so far. Weather is calm and sunny, so I took the opportunity to waterproof the raising roof with "Storm" waterproofer. Martin, a regular contributor to this blog warned of leaking on his Drivelodge roof. We have never had our roof up in the rain and so before we even commence wet weather camping it was time to prepare the roofing material just in case. The "Storm" waterproofer is a clear, water -like fluid which is brushed onto the material. I was particularly careful to get the stitched areas well sealed. The standard of stitching on my roof was excellent. As good as on an expensive tent. The treatment is quite strong in odour (like a solvent smell) and dried quite quickly , meaning some care was needed not to miss any areas. So working methodically, from large step ladders , it did not take long. I removed the cushions and used doubled up dust sheets to protect the felted roof of the cab and other decorative patches. Once dry, it is difficult to tell that the job has been done. The material perhaps feels a little more slippery to the touch. I also took the opportunity to clean and wax the usually hidden painted areas under the roof lip and around the hinges and mechanism. Another job box ticked ! Oh, it took 300 to 400 ml from a litre bottle to treat inside and outside of the roof fabric.

Marie Jo & sustainability
Dont buy Click here for score rapport: 3 out of 31
Sustainability summaryMarie Jo has achieved the E-label. This is our lowest possible sustainability score, and Marie Jo has earned it by communicating barely concrete about the policies for environment, carbon emissions or labor conditions in low-wages countries.

A huge aha moment for me happened when I realized I wasn't sharing a business and an amazing product line – but I was actually SPAMMING my friends. If you are getting de-friended (and I was….) you're probably doing something wrong.
See, what I learned (the hard way) is that people weren't interested in being told WHAT could be. They wanted to SEE it work. It was as if they needed to imagine themselves having that same success. It wasn't about the company, the money, the patents, how epic the dream was, it was about actually watching me LIVE AND ACHEIVE THE LIFESTYLE I WAS PUSHING.
Once I stopped PUSHING and started ATTRACTING, it was game on. I didn't even have to mention my company because people were ASKING.
Daily messages in my inbox….
What are you doing? How do you stay home and still make money? What is that product that did THAT? ENTER COUNTLESS LEADS. Simply via attraction marketing and CURIOSITY.

Why is so important to use behavior chart? This may come in handy to correct behaviors that might be less appealing and can actually damage the people around them. Perhaps, to a youngster mind, it may not be so compromising to start by telling them what to do or give assign chores. For that reason, sometimes is good to reward the kids If they keep making good choices.
For instance, it is always necessary to keep reminding to pick up their clothes from their bedroom, to take their plate to the washer machine, to brush their teeth before going to school. Sometimes, what we need is guidance to know and see the improvements made over the weeks. Notwithstanding, this is yet another option to keep track of their actions. Therefore, they may seek to impress and do chores they weren't used to because they are doing the right thing.
ADHD Behavior Charts For Kids
First off, take a look at the chart and the points actually don't notate anything negative because kids with ADHD need to have goals, they can easily keep track of points as well.
Weekly Students Behavior Chart For Teacher
Secondly, this chart brings more options if you're an amateur at using behavior charts or just started teaching a class at school. Because it shows a list of behaviors that are not considered appropriate at school.
Colored Behavior Chart Template
This time, we bring you almost a blind behavior chart to start adding and including the information as the week goes by. You can post it on the back of their notebooks and sign it at the end of the week.
School Behavior Chart
It is always a good idea to include the parents and hold them accountable as well for their kid's behavior. For that reason, the design below has the option to write down a signature every day.
Behavior Chart Example
Another option to use at home is to assign daily tasks to your children on a daily basis in order to cultivate discipline and right attitude towards chores.
Dinosaur Month Behavior Charts
In addition to assigning their chores to the chart, some kids like animals and cars but some other love dinosaurs like the one below.
Multiple Behavior Chart For Kids
For instance, you can assign points to each task in order to sum it up at the end of the week. This provides a sense of completion in their minds to improve as the year goes by.
Minions Behavior Chart
A piece of advice sometimes is better to keep it simple and add some stickers or funny pictures to grab children attention. Plus, you can also add notes at the bottom of the chart as well.
Weekly Behavior Chart
Your job as a teacher is not an easy task, for that reason is that we have this design that includes the different aspects of school into three different sections in a week.

Free HTTPS with Letsencrypt on shared hosting
I've recently enabled HTTPS on this blog using letsencrypt.
Letsencrypt does support shared hosting, but it's not that easy to do.
- You will require a Linux machine (or Mac) to generate your certificate(s). In the case of shared hosting, you will likely not be able to run the commands directly on your server, because you likely won't have shell access and even if you do, you likely won't have root access.
- Certificates are only valid for 90 days
- It's tricky to automate renewal if the machine running the commands is not your web server, because the script you have to use is not easily composable within other scripts. I will probably have a go when my first 90 days are up and will add an update if I manage to do something useful.
With that said, here's the process, which is a bit convoluted:
As I said, you need a Linux machine. If you don't have one, the easiest way to get one is to install Ubuntu in VirtualBox.
Step 1: Download and run certbot
Letsencrypt gives you a script called certbot:
# Download certbot wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto chmod a+x certbot-auto ./certbot-auto certonly --manual
Certbot will show something like:
Make sure your web server displays the following content at http://mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1xA1TOAmMITd6KuWbjmY-eUVby-TXGCYhD6R9YyrG_E before continuing: 1xA1TOAmMITd6KuWbjmY-eUVby-TXABYoD6O9hyrG_E.byfuf9fAgDdDad814dn83FBzYdasGib3DM6mBec-4sk Press ENTER to continue
Step 2: Verify yourself with certbot
Do as it says and create the directories and file, then upload it to your server, and press 'enter' for certbot to verify you.
Step 3: Find your certificate and private key
certbot creates two outputs you care about:
Your certificate: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/cert.pem
Your private key: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem
These are not very helpfully located under a directory which requires root permissions to read. The easiest way to get at these files is to use 'cat' to output them to the console:
# This will output cert.pem sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/cert.pem # This will output privkey.pem sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem
Step 4: Paste these files into your hosting's control panel
In cpanel, it looks something like this:
Paste the two outputs of Step 3 into the boxes in the third screen.
Now you should find you can browse to https://mydomain.com

By: Alexandra Lanna and Isabella Lanna, Student Interns, Women & Infants' Center for Women's Gastrointestinal Health
According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in both men and women. While the disease is treatable and beatable if caught early, it is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men and the third in women across the United States. While screening is the number one way to prevent or detect colon cancer, eating a healthy diet can help to reduce your risk. Here are the top four foods that may help fight colon cancer and some healthy recipes to go with them.
- Are you eating your vegetables? Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and kale release an antioxidant called sulforaphane when chewed may decrease the risk for prostate cancer, and potentially other cancers including colon cancer.
Recipe: Garden Vegetable Soup
- Whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa can be a nice complement to any dish and can also help to reduce your risk of developing precancerous growths (polyps) in your colon. Why? Both are full of fiber, which can help to stop the growth of cancer cells.
Recipe: Roasted Carrot, Chicken and Grape Quinoa Bowl
- Salmon, milk and cheese, just to name a few, are great sources of calcium and vitamin D, which have been known to help fight colon cancer.
Recipe: Salmon Baked in Foil
- While you sometimes consider asking for no garlic when ordering dinner at your favorite restaurant, you might want to think twice. In a recent study, people who added garlic to their diet had a much lower risk of some cancers including colon cancer.
Recipe: Chicken Spinach Soup with Pesto

While maintaining a healthy diet can help lower your risk of colon cancer, the most important thing to do is have a screening colonoscopy. For individuals who are at normal risk, screening tests should begin at age 50. For more information please visit Gastroenterology Services at Care New England.

"A" Section of the Green River
The "A" Section of the Green River extends from just below the Flaming Gorge Dam downstream approximately 7.2 miles to the Little Hole Day Use Area. Photo below is taken from the Little Hole Overlook.
There is an excellent trail for wade fisherman, but the best way to experience the Green River is from a drift boat or rubber raft. The trout in the Green River can mostly be found near the banks; hikers and wade fisherman tend to scare the fish out into deeper water. Some of the best flyfishing success can be found by "slamming the banks" from a boat...a technique taught us by the excellent guides from Trout Creek Flies.

Publisher's Weekly Review is in!
The Confessions of Catherine de Medici / C.W. Gortner.
Ballantine, $25 (400p) ISBN 978-0-345-50186-8
Catherine de Medici uses her natural and supernatural gifts to protect the French throne in Gortner's (The Last Queen) portrait of a queen willing to sacrifice happiness and reputation to fulfill her family's royal destiny. Orphan Catherine has her first vision at age 10, and three years later is betrothed to Henri d'Orleans, brother of the sickly heir to the French throne. She heads to France with a vial of poison hidden among her possessions, and after negotiating an uneasy truce with her husband's mistress, she matures into a powerful court presence, though power, she learns, comes at a price. Three of her sons become king in succession as the widow Catherine wields ever-increasing influence to keep the ambitious de Guise clan at bay and religious adversaries from murdering each other. Gortner's is not the first fictional reinterpretation of a historical villainess—Catherine's role in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, for instance, is recounted in a way sympathetic to her—but hers (should be "his") is remarkably thoughtful in its insight into an unapologetically ruthless queen.

That's great (gender confusion aside!). When I first read The Last Queen in 2007 I was amazed that it had been written buy a man (I don't know if you remember me sending you an email at the time telling you that!). I'm really looking forward to this one as well.

Congrats, Christopher! Heh, I saw that when I read the review this morning and had to read it again to see if they'd really gotten it wrong. You're not the only male author I've seen that happen to, if it's any consolation. (Look for the PW review of JC Martin's Push Not the River... another novel about a woman written by a man.)

Great review!!! Happy for you... Can't wait to read this new book...

The gender confusion is good because the reader was wholly convinced about your heroine's voice and viewpoint.

How to Make Singleton Buttonscomments (35) March 13th, 2009
A Singleton button is a kind of Dorset button, and it gets its name not from Bridget Jones, but from the Singleton family, who first made them in the 1600s. The fun thing about Singleton buttons is that you can make them from so many pretty fabrics. I love the idea of a row of coordinating Singleton buttons decorating a tote bag, or bright floral Singletons gracing the front of a simple white shirt.
What you'll need:
- Woven cotton fabric
- Plastic bone ring (I'm using a 1-inch ring)
- Cardstock (for a template)
- Washable fabric marking pen
- Scissors
- Needle and strong thread (see notes below)
- Embroidery floss (optional)
- Wool felt
Like a Dorset button, the Singleton is made on a ring—and we're using plastic bone rings here. You can find them in fabric and craft stores, with drapery-making supplies or with crochet supplies. They come in lots of sizes, so you can make these buttons in many sizes.
A note on thread: This is one project where the strength of the thread you use makes a big difference. I recommend using a thread with some polyester or nylon content—you'll be pulling this thread around a bit, so it needs to resist breaking.
If you're planning to use these buttons on a garment that will be machine washed, then be sure to prewash your fabric and felt beforehand.
You'll need a fabric circle that's about 2-1/2 times larger in diameter than your plastic ring. I made myself a template using the page layout program on my computer and printed it out on cardstock. You could also use a compass.
If you want to make sure a specific part of the fabric design appears on the front of your finished button, then cut a circle out of the center that's the same size as the ring.
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!

By the way, I am stubbornly sticking with the association of Singleton buttons with Bridget Jones. It just makes them even better!

These are simply beautiful, and allow a seamstress to create buttons from the same fabric they are making a garment from. I so totally prefer this method over those button kits you can buy in the findings section.
Love this!

Catios Come Into their Own
Here are some expert tips to consider before installing a 'catio' for your pet's optimal comfort and safety.
In a Portland, Oregon, variant of garden tours, a growing number of people are taking part every year in the Catio Tour. Organized by the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, the tour highlights the wide variety of screened-in enclosures that allow cats to safely enjoy the outdoors. "What the tour does is puts the name with the actual structure, and that helps people see that these do exist," says Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon director Karen Kraus. "Plus, having the tour will raise the bar and inspire more people to do this on their own property."

I've been making these Nice Creams all summer in varieties of flavours. Today, I thought of sharing a recipe for this bowl of guilt-free mango nice cream with you and its just three ingredients. All good and healthy.
(this patch makes quite a lot so you can half it)
about 850 grams of fresh mango (chopped and frozen)
2 ripe bananas (chopped and frozen)
a generous glob of coconut milk
Throw the above into a food processor and press the button to blitz away…
Keep going until you're left with light yellow, soft serve nice cream.
To serve it, toss over a few little extras.
I particularly like chopped coconut, but grated lime would be fantastic with mango ice cream too.
I've made other flavours with berries, cantaloupe and kiwi. Nice cream made from just bananas is delicious as well, but you add pretty much any fruits, spices, peanut butter or cocoa. All gorgeous, tasty and guilt free!

Equal area
Meridians: Central meridian is a straight line half as long as the Equator. Other meridians are equally spaced portions of ellipses (less than semiellipses) that would intersect beyond the poles and are concave toward the central meridian. The meridians at 103°55' east and west of the central meridian are circular arcs.
Parallels: Unequally spaced straight parallel lines, widest separation near the Equator. Perpendicular to the central meridian.
Poles: Lines half as long as the Equator
Symmetry: About the central meridian or the Equator
True along latitudes 42°59' N. and S. Constant along any given latitude; same for the latitude of opposite sign
Distortion is not as extreme near outer meridians at high latitudes as it is on pointed polar pseudocylindrical projections, but there is considerable distortion throughout polar regions. Free of distortion only at latitudes 42°59' N. and S. at the central meridian.
Presented by Reinholds V. Putnins of Latvia in 1934
Similar projections
Wagner IV projection (1949) is identical.
Werenskiold III projection (1944) is identical, except that true scale is maintained along the Equator by enlarging the map.
Putnins P2 equal-area projection (1934) uses the same portions of ellipses, but the poles are points.
Putnins P1 and P1' projections (1934) have meridians identical in shape and position to those of Putnins P2 and P2', respectively, but parallels are equally spaced, and the projections are not equal area.
Robinson projection is not equal area, meridians are not elliptical, and parallels are spaced differently.

Lloyds Banking Group came to us in 2010 facing myriad challenges. In the aftermath of the post-banking crash, it was dealing with the hard choices facing every financial institution at that point: issues like compliance changes, brand management, and how to make its business leaner. It was facing tough questions for any business: how do you completely overhaul the way you work internally while still running a great business for your customers?
Lloyds Banking Group wanted to help their senior leaders understand how to deliver 'at pace' so they could transform behaviour in the workplace. It also wanted to create a learning experience which would complement their leadership development agenda, and use their skills for some social good by doing something 'real'.

Below is the press released by Rivers state government...
Contrary to claims by officials of the outgone administration that it left N7 billion in the state coffers, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that no such money was domiciled in the state account. The governor stated that
the state's FAAC account was in debit as at May 29 when he took over the reins of governance in the state.
This is even as the Rivers State Government on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding with two construction giants, Julius Berger and CCECC for the rehabilitation of 33 kilometres of township roads in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The Governor stated that from the brief he received from the State Accountant General after his inauguration, only one revenue account with Sterling Bank had some funds left by the immediate past administration.
"I want to say in good authority that we did not meet any N7 billion as being speculated. The state's FAAC account as at May 29 was in debit. That was the briefing I received from the Accountant-General", he said.
The memorandum of understanding with the two construction giants is in realisation of the Zero Potholes Programme launched by the administration on May 29.
While Julius Berger is to handle the rehabilitation of 11 kilometres of township roads alongside street lights and traffic lights, the CCECC will handle 20 kilometres of township roads in Port Harcourt.
He explained that the state government resolved to work with the construction giants to rebuild road infrastructure in the state capital because the revival of facilities in the state capital is beyond political consideration.
Governor Wike noted that the funds for the Operation Zero Potholes have been set aside, hence the signing of the memorandum of understanding to ensure that the companies conclude work in 120 days.
He promised to personally monitor the execution of the projects by the construction giants.
Speaking further, Governor Wike explained that his administration resolved to take the N10b loan with specific focus on key projects to be implemented. He noted that the request to the state Assembly was accompanied by all the projects to be executed.
Responding, Representative of Julius Berger Plc, Mr Marco Braun assured the Rivers State Government that the project will be completed as scheduled.
Also speaking, the Representative of CCECC, Mr Lee Kin Yong expressed happiness that the Chinese company will be involved in the revival of infrastructure in Rivers State.
The signing of the memorandum of understanding was supervised by the Rivers State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Chinwe Aguma.

Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + precorrin-3B = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + precorrin-4
For diagram click here and mechanism (here).
Other name(s): precorrin-3 methyltransferase; CobJ
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:precorrin-3B C17-methyltransferase
Comments: In the aerobic cobalamin biosythesis pathway, four enzymes are involved in the conversion of precorrin-3A to precorrin-6A. The first of the four steps is carried out by EC 184.108.40.206, precorrin-3B synthase (CobG), yielding precorrin-3B as the product. This is followed by three methylation reactions, which introduce a methyl group at C-17 (CobJ; EC 18.104.22.168), C-11 (CobM; EC 188.8.131.52) and C-1 (CobF; EC 220.127.116.11) of the macrocycle, giving rise to precorrin-4, precorrin-5 and precorrin-6A, respectively.

Offering transparency, empowerment and convenience in your search for a better home loan rate.
At Joust, we want you to get the best home loan rates possible.
Founded with 100 years of combined experience in banking and finance in the Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne Home Loan Market, Joust comes to you in 2016 creating a digital marketplace. By creating home loan mortgage pressure amongst the banks, chances are we get you a lower home loan rate. We are dedicated to giving you a simplified and equitable process for finding or refinancing a residential mortgage.
We Are Creating A Competitive Marketplace
The mortgage lending process shouldn't have to be confusing. We want to put you in control of your mortgage.
Don't stress about researching or negotiating a refinancing mortgage by yourself. Searching for a better home loan rate can seem overwhelming when banks offer multiple packages, different home loan calculators, features, honeymoon rates and special offers. Sometimes people rely on the advice of accountants or brokers to guide them through the details, but the process doesn't have to be so complex.
Joust helps you by creating a competitive environment for potential lenders who bid live on our platform for your business. The strain and responsibility is placed back onto the lenders as we bring the banks to you. Our marketplace offers a transparent and simplified process, all done through the convenience of your mobile device.
So instead of relying on the advice of a mortgage broker, we give you complete transparency by comparing your options on your own leaderboard.
Using Competition We Get You Lower Mortgage Rates
Whether you're buying, building, or refinancing an existing home loan, we help you by facilitating competition between lenders.
On Joust, lenders are able to see exactly what their competitors are offering you. The transparency between both the individual and all the lenders creates a forceful and competitive tension that is otherwise unachievable.
Would the lenders you're considering ever negotiate and bid face-to-face? Joust creates transparency by having competitors share their rates and drives down rates as each lender can bid time and time again. We act as the ultimate home loan calculator, giving you the most competitive and current offers.
Get a Better Home Loan Rate Tailored to Your Own Profile
Never before have lenders had the opportunity to directly pursue qualified opportunities with consumers. The technology we use at Joust enables our lenders to pursue their own individual growth and improve customer strategies.
This is beneficial to you as a customer, as the competitive atmosphere encourages the lenders that value your business to bid the hardest.
When you create a profile with us at Joust, the lender will have access to your basic information such as your year of birth, postcode, salary, employer and credit score band. The traditional way of finding a mortgage involves lenders matching you to the most appropriate existing package they work with.
But instead of viewing your business as one that can be slotted into a generic or standard rate, lenders are incentivised to lower their rates.
Don't feel pressured by the need to gather all the information by yourself, and don't miss out on the competitive rates comparison websites can't display! Try Joust out today:

The Future of the Car
Transport Futures' timely (and sold-out!) forum on The Future of the Car focused on the shift from vehicle ownership to vehicle sharing and what "transportation as a service" means for the public and private sectors in the years ahead – especially given emerging technologies and government policies related to roads, transit, parking and urban growth management.
While annual public transit investments of $3 billion are now being made in Ontario, the province and municipalities are allocating over $4 billion to build, widen, extend and maintain road infrastructure each year. This is important to meet additional growth pressures but recent trends indicate that car ownership and kilometres driven is declining and transit/taxi/car sharing demand is on the rise. Since these trends will be accelerated when automated vehicles (AVs) penetrate the consumer market, today's long-term road, parking and transit infrastructure choices should be re-evaluated. Good policy, planning and decision making is essential when there are billions of dollars at stake.
With this in mind, 12 Canadian and American experts joined with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca and 110 delegates to collectively discuss a range of car questions, including:
- What is the public's opinion regarding car ownership, vehicle sharing and AVs?
- How is the automotive industry and taxi/car sharing business responding to rapidly changing customer preferences, technological opportunities and government regulations?
- What are different levels of government doing to encourage innovation in the transportation space and to prepare for the disruptive arrival of AVs?

Matt Ross ("American Horror Story") will play Johnny Cash, Carter Cash's husband. The film is based on the memoir "Anchored In Love: An Intimate Portrait Of June Carter Cash" by Carter Cash's son John Carter Cash. Allison Anders will direct with filming this summer in Atlanta for a premiere later this year. Steven Michaels, Jonathan Koch and John Carter Cash are executive producing.
The movie follows June from early childhood growing up in the rural Virginia to her turbulent yet enduring relationship with Cash, who was her third husband.
The Cashes were the subject of another movie, "Walk the Line." Reese Witherspoon portrayed Jane Carter in the 2005 movie, taking an Oscar for her performance. Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash.
Jewel, now working as a country artist after starting in pop, will make her first major acting role with this movie. She had small roles in Ang Lee's "Ride With The Devil" and Jake Kasdan's "Walk Hard."

I've recently been a little naughty with the spending and have bought quite a bit so thought I'd share it all with you today…Enjoy!
There is always room for brushes in a girl's collection so I decided to purchase the Charlotte Tilbury miracle complexion brush, the Zoeva En Taupe eye brush set and 3 morphe brushes.
After umming and ahhing for ages I finally purchased the Charlotte Tilbury powder along this Dior powder. I've wanted to try the YSL touche Eclat for a long time and since I have quite noticeable under eye bags I thought this neutralizer would be the best one for me. I needed a face spf for skiing so picked the clinique cityblock one up in Boots and then also got the bobbi brown moisture rich foundation and the face cover up stick.
After another trip into London I purchased the Mac warm neutrals eye shadow palette and their lipstick in midi-mauve and finally the charlotte tilbury lip liner in Pillowtalk.
Some other new budget buys are the Barry M matte nail paint and Mocha, the L'Oreal nail varnish in 116, Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara, Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl eyeliner, maybelline colour tattoo in permanent taupe and then some lippy products: Rummer moisture renew lipstick in Heather Shimmer, Rimmer Moisture Renew sheer and shine in Good Mauve, Rimmer Kate Moss Lipstick in 48, Smith and Cult lipgloss in Now Kith and finally the Revlon matte lipcolor in Love (as you can tell, apart from the last product i was feeling nudes)
So now I am broke. Thank you need to always buy makeup. I have also just updated my makeup storage so keep an eye out for that blog post coming soon…

Easter Bonnet Parade
On Thursday 26th March we held our annual Infant Easter Bonnet parade. We had to make the bonnets for our home learning and everyone worked really hard to produce some lovely bonnets. Unfortunately this year the weather was not kind to us so we were unable to do our usual route around the village. However we had fun parading around the school including in the junior classrooms! The main stage was in the hall where we had lots of parents there to support us. Thank you to everyone who came!
Animal Sounds
With Mr Pagett we have been reading the story of The Four Singers. The story uses a lot of sounds to add effect and we have been exploring this. We were given some of the sounds in the story to recreate. We could use our voices or the percussion instruments. We made lots of noise!
Making a Number Line
We have been looking at ordering numbers and placing numbers on a number line. Miss Gardner decided to take it outside and make it BIG! We had to organise ourselves into a big number line from 1 to 27. Then we split into groups and had to order the numbers we had. It was fun to take maths outside!
To conclude our topic on Kenya we used all our knowledge of our topic to complete some tasks. With Miss Gardner we had to create a sheet explaining why we would like to go to Kenya and to persuade others to visit. With Mr Pagett we explained what our favourite part of the topic was and why.
Snow White and the Evil Queen
We have been learning all about fairytale stories. One of the stories we looked at was Snow White. In the story the Queen poisons Snow White with a poisoned apple. With Miss Gardner we did some drama to show what happened in this part of the story. We had to think about what the characters would say but also about body language including good and evil characters.
Moving like Kenyan Animals
As part of one of our P.E. sessions with Mr Pagett and Miss Gardner we had to think about how animals move. We thought about them doing different things like sleeping, eating, drinking and travelling. We put it to music and performed for the class.
Whipsnade Zoo
On Friday 27th February we went to Whipsnade Zoo. We have been learning all about Kenya and in our literacy lessons we have been writing non-fiction texts about animals you might find in Kenya. We were lucky to see most of the animals we have been learning about. We were all very well behaved and had lots of fun
Floating and Sinking
We have been looking at items that float and sink. We talked about why some objects float and others don't. We even discussed why objects made of the same material float and sink. This week we investigated how to make something that floats sink. We had a floating boat and measured how much blu-tack it would take to sink the boat. We then weighed how much blu-tack there was and compared results. We found out that different weights were required for each boat even though they were the same. We talked about why – coming up with some excellent reasons using our scientific knowledge.
Problem Solving
We have been looking at problem solving and how to apply our knowledge to solve problems. We had to sort houses into groups based on their differences - we came up with lots of different ways to sort!
Fruit Kebabs
As part of our topic on Kenya we have been looking at Handa's Surprise. We wrote our own versions of the story. We then made fruit kebabs as this is what the animals stole!
Fire Safety
We had a special visit from a fireman. He came to talk to us about how to be safe when around fire and also all about what to do if there is a fire. We learnt stop, drop and roll and even looked at what the firemen wear to keep safe.
Help for Heroes
During our World War I topic we have been learning about soldiers. We thought about how there were still soldiers fighting today and thought we would like to help. We made Anzac biscuits (which were sent to some soldiers during the war) and sold them to raise money for Help for Heroes. We raised £47 to send to the charity.
Heritage Motor Museum Trip
As part of our topic on World War I we went a trip to the Heritage Motor Museum. We were lucky enough to see a car from World War I and also lots of other cars from throughout the ages. As a special treat we were allowed to go inside a London bus! We had a great time...
Today we went on a trip to the shop armed with a 10p coin to pay for some sweets. We were set the challenge of buying some sweets but we had to work out the change before we paid for it. We used our fingers and our taking away skills to work out how much change we needed. Stacey in the shop was very impressed with our skills!
Army Recruitment Day!
We have been looking at the start of World War I. We have been learning that men went to sign up to be in the army and we wondered what that was like so we had our own army recruitment day to find out. We had to pass a physical test, measure ourselves and fill out an application form. Luckily everyone performed excellently and we all passed! At the end of the day we had a passing out parade where all the children received certificates to show they had become part of the 1/2B army! J
A visit from Mr Hicks
Today we have been very lucky! We had a special visitor dressed as a World War I soldier. Mr Hicks told us lots about what it would have been like for soldiers in the war: what they ate, how they lived, what they wore and what they used to fight. Some of us were lucky enough to try on the soldiers pack to see how heavy it was! We even got to see the tins which the soldiers received from the Royal Family for Christmas. He also talked to us about the history of Bishops Itchington during the war years. We had lots of fun making up our own questions for him to answer. It was certainly a very special experience for us all! J

Greetings Readers!
So I know its only November, but with all these Christmas adverts appearing on the TV and shopping centres being bedecked with twinkling likes can any of you blame me for starting to feel festive?
Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and there's nothing I love more than burning a festive scented candle and watching a classic Christmas flick. But, there was just one problem, my scented candle collection has been running a little low as of late.
After seeing Sarah in Wonderland's recent candle haul I had a case of candle envy. As a result I found myself being driven to visit Homesense to check out their range of scented candles and oh my gosh I wasn't disappointed!
So today I thought I'd share with you all my recent Christmas scented candle haul. So, let's get this show on the road, shall we?
Homesense is amazing for its wide range of scented candles all at very affordable prices. I bought six and only paid something £30 for all of them which I thought was an absolute bargain!
The first candle I got was one from the brand Makers of Wax Goods, this brand has rocketed to the top of my favourite brand for scented candles recently. Ever since my friend Helena got me one for my birthday earlier this year I've been obsessed. This candle is the large Ground Cinnamon and Clove Candle. This has a very warm and spicy scent, you can definitely smell the warm notes of Clove. It's a generous size and the packaging is so festive in a deep red with gold detailing. This brand of candles are incredible and really do scent the room very strongly. I've bought so many from this brand now and have always been so impressed with how strong and amazing they all smell. Plus this candle was a snip at only £9.99!
The next candle was from a brand called Waxing Lyrical, see what they did there? The candle I got was in the scent Mince Pies. They were not fooling around when they called it that because it actually smells just like Mince Pies. It's an incredibly warm and spicy blend with a sweet sugary undertone. Just smelling it takes me back to memories of baking with my mother on Christmas Eve with the warm smells wafting around the Kitchen, it's the epitome of Christmas! Plus, it was a bargain at £3.99!
The next candle that found its way into my basket was by the brand Copenhagen Candle in the scent Vanilla Cookie. As you would imagine, this is a very sweet and sugary smell, it ever so slightly reminds me of the Vanilla Cupcake candle that Yankee Candles make. Vanilla is a go to scent for Christmas time, so I thought I'd add it to my haul especially as it was £2.99.
The next two candles I got were from the brand Wonderous Wishes. This brand certainly takes home the prize in the presentational stakes, the boxes are so incredibly cute and festive. One of the candles I got was in the scent Cinnamon Sparkles, this scent is incredibly warm and rich. Its blended with the spicy notes of Cinnamon, Amber, Clove and with a little Pine and Golden Pear for a more fresh undertone. I can really smell the sweet Amber notes in there which is what drew me to it in the first place.
The next candle is in the scent Holly Berry Wreath, this is more of a fresh scent and one that I would burn when putting up the Christmas tree. Its blended with winter greens, crushed holly leaves and berry notes. It's such an uplifting scent and one to use on the days where you want a break from anything too spicy. I got both of these candles for £4.99 each and they are a pretty decent size too.
Finally for this haul I got another candle from Makers of Wax Goods, this was a smaller candle in the scent Red Currant. Red Currant is more of a tart smell, however there is a spicy element to it like Amber or Tonka. its hard to tell. This one was another bargain at £2.99.
That concludes this Christmas Scented Candle Haul, I really hope you all enjoyed it and its started to get you in the festive mood. I don't know what it is, but this year I'm willing Christmas to come soon.
Do let me know what your favourite Christmas scent is and be sure to follow my blog for lots more upcoming Christmas posts.
Thank you for reading and I'll see you again soon.

At last week's Johnson County Commission meeting, Wayne Graves, Vice-Chairman of the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission, suggested to the commissioners that they not rehire an assistant planner when current assistant planner Jerry Osborn retires.
Graves said prior to hiring Osborn, the planning commission and the planner were dealing with six to twelve subdivisions per month, road standard changes and fire code changes. Also, the county plan was beginning, regulation changes were being done and zoning was starting.
Graves said when Osborn was hired to assist planner Rob Yingling, there was more than enough work to justify the position, but that isn't the case now.
Commissioner John Gibbs said he thought the reason for hiring the new assistant planner was to help with GIS mapping of the county, which is the holdup to completing the zoning regulations document.
Graves said he believed the mapping could be outsourced to save the county money.
The commissioners said they would take Graves' comments under consideration before making a final decision on the matter.

Posted by: First 516 February 2016
Recently I have been reading Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's excellent book, 'An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth'. In it, he writes about how important it is in space exploration to 'sweat the small stuff'. He gives an example of how a crucial and expensive spacewalk was almost ruined and his life put at risk simply because he didn't polish his visor enough. It has got me thinking about how this might apply to general practice.
One regular patient with diabetes has been struggling immensely with her blood sugars. She's on insulin, and it seemed that for some reason her sugars were always high and making her very unwell despite the fact that she took her insulin regularly and engaged fully with the practice's diabetes team. We were puzzled why this 'ideal' patient wasn't getting better (which, of course, included a fully introspective and CPD-accrediting multidisciplinary review as to whether her personalised treatment package met NICE and local formulary guidance and considered input from specialist virtual clinics whilst meeting the patient's choice and expectations and was cost-effective - in ten minutes).
She rang one duty surgery and was unfortunate enough to receive me as duty doctor.
'Doc' she said, 'I don't feel very well.'
I looked wistfully at my otoscope, 'Tell me your thoughts, your fears, your worries.'
'Well…' she began,
'Actually what's your blood sugar,' I interrupted.
'It says "HI",' she replied.
'Ah,' I thought, aloud. 'What do you normally do when it's high?' I find this an excellent question to ask most people who live with a chronic disease who often offer very sensible suggestions.
'Well I do what I always do. I eat a bag of jelly babies,' she replied.
'Bloody hell,' I thought, inside my head this time.
'What's wrong doc? You just said bloody hell down the phone! I was always told when I have a hypo I should eat some jelly babies, so that's what I do.'
What was happening, as you have probably guessed by now, is that she had mistaken 'HI' to mean 'HIPOGLYCAEMIA' [sic] and took the action we would have told her to do at every diabetes review.
It turns out then, this one small piece of the puzzle was having a huge effect on her health and no-one had thought to consider it. It appears that 'sweating the small stuff' can be very important indeed, whether in space or in the surgery.

Darwin was right.
In spite of all MDT input etc, one of my patient's husband gave insulin each time she had a hypo!!
These things happen!!
Some patients hear what they want to hear, end of.
Don't get me going on asthma inhalers...
Don't get me going on asthma inhalers...
I always thought the responsibility for ensuring a correct piece of communication lay with the originator? I hope the incident became a SEA and everyone in the practice learned from it??

patterns > E. Elliott Knits

This soft, squishy cowl is worked in the round using the mosaic knitting technique to create a 2-colour pattern working with one colour at a time. The resulting fabric is thicker and cushier than regular stockinette fabric. The mosaic technique, the I-cord cast on and bind off, and the small amount of grafting used to finish the edges are all explained in the pattern. The chart looks slightly different from a traditional mosaic chart, and is designed to be easy to follow. This would be a good pattern for those wishing to learn mosaic knitting.
You will need a 4mm/US6 (or size to obtain gauge) 24"/60cm circular needle, a stitch marker, and a tapestry needle. Although exact gauge is not crucial, you'll want to get it pretty close; using a different gauge will affect the size and yarn requirements.
The sample used 32g (96yds/88m) of Tatami (MC) and 22g (66yds/60m) of Redwood Bark (CC). You may need slightly more or less, but one 50g skein of each colour will be more than enough.

The wild coral reefs sit under the sun and do well. Everything is correct – spectrum, intensity, photoperiod and the dawn/dusk sequence. Could the aquarist make use of Nature's original?
For aquariums that contain corals the importance of aquarium lighting runs a close second to seawater quality, so it would seem reasonable to consider using the natural stuff. There are potential problems however.
The first consideration is sunlight and its availability. The skies over wild reefs are often blue but not always, clouds pass over and sometimes storms. Therefore continuous sunshine is not a necessity. However, for most of us in temperate areas the amount of cloud we experience is much more and I wonder how the zooxanthellae (algae within corals) will fare. They need the correct light to prosper and it is probable that the corals would have problems.
There are aquarists in blue sky areas where cloud cover is not so prevalent, and maybe the sunshine periods are not too far off those on wild reefs. So using natural light is more of a proposition. How could the sunshine be directed to the aquarium from the top? Allowing the sun to shine on the front glass of the aquarium could produce excessive algae growth there, thus spoiling the aquarist's view and causing excessive cleaning of the glass. If the seawater is of high quality with little or no nitrate and phosphate, as it should be, algae growth within the aquarium shouldn't be a problem, but it always surprises me that the stuff does appear quite clearly on viewing glasses nevertheless. Having said all that, if there is a fairly substantial nitrate and/or phosphate presence then algae could well proliferate much to the aquarist's annoyance – the word sunlight could well turn into sunblight.
The answer could be to put the aquarium in a room below a low roof where a roof window of suitable proportions has been provided. This would allow the sunlight to slowly hit the top of the aquarium, reach full intensity, and then slowly reduce again. The risk of the seawater overheating would also be much reduced.
I am only aware of two aquarists that have used natural sunlight, and in both cases am not aware of the complete result.
In the first instance the aquarist did in fact have a window in the roof more or less as described and the corals did well for a while. Unfortunately, the area of the world where the aquarist lived meant that the sun dipped towards the horizon as the seasons changed and the sunlight became too weak or missed the aquarium completely. I feel sure the aquarist would have known the sun would do this but he must have miscalculated. What was done about it I don't know – I'm sure putting the aquarium on wheels wasn't an option!
In the second case the aquarium was located in a conservatory. There were too major problems, I know that one was fixed but don't know about the other.
Clearly, in a conservatory with its glass roof and sides sunlight would have unrestricted access. Conservatories when bathed in sunlight can become very warm – this is one of the attractions of them. Unfortunately, this warmth caused problems with seawater temperature stability, usually climbing too high. The aquarist obtained a cooler (chiller) and as far as I am aware this cured the problem. The second problem was as mentioned earlier – algae. This algae not only caused very regular cleaning of the viewing glasses to be required, but caused excessive algae growth in the aquarium itself causing the aquarist to appeal for assistance (generally, not to me personally). I noted the nitrate level was quite high (if I remember correctly it was about 30ppm) but there wasn't a mention of phosphate so that could have been anything. The aquarist was advised to reduce the nitrate level and reduce and control the sunlight (how?) but didn't respond further. Perhaps the aquarium was re-located.
A keen advanced aquarist experimenting is great and this is how progress is achieved, and is to be applauded. However, with the hobby in the position it is today the usual path with lighting is better for most.
The aquarist can have lighting exactly suited to his/her needs relevant to the livestock being kept. That lighting can be closely controlled by the use of electric timers and an acceptable dawn/dusk sequence introduced, and the photoperiod adjusted according to need. For the great majority of us electric lighting is the answer.

View of Loch Shiel and Glenfinnan as we ascended
Pedicularis sylvatica (Lousewort)
Empetrum nigrum (Crowberry)
Vaccinium myrtillus (Blaeberry)
Inspired perhaps by the 2005 WFS Teesdale meeting where on the last day we had to climb to the top of Cronkley Fell to try to find the only site for Helianthemum oelandicum ssp laevigatum (Hoary Rock-rose), two members of that expedition decided to plan a identical trips to a Scottish mountain the following year.
Both Janet MacPherson and Peter Llewellyn had separately decided to try to find Diapensia lapponica (Diapensia) which is supposed to grow the summit of a remote mountain somewhere in Scotland. They eventually joined forces with Peter Hilton to form an ad hoc WFS meeting.
In the new year the same idea occurred to a few members of the official WFS Assynt "come-and-find" meeting. Naturally they had chosen a date close to the Assynt meeting but which was according to our information possibly near the end of Diapensia's flowering period.
We stuck to our timetable, allowing ourselves the choice of one of two days for the expedition to allow for indifferent weather. Eventually we settled on June 8th as a possible day when the weather wasn't forecast to be too bad and when, according to our information, the plant would still be in flower.
Discovered as late as 1951, the UK population of Diapensia fascinates many botanists because of the remoteness and inaccessibility of its habitat and the fact that it was found relatively recently by a bird watcher: C.F. Tebutt. It is still only known from the summit of a single peak at 2,815 feet near Glenfinnan a small settlement at the head of Loch Shiel.
It's always better to travel in company in the hills than alone and soon the party planning the No 1 expedition had become three WFS members with five other interested Scottish friends together with Bridie the Lurcher.
None of us had seen Diapensia before and so were informed only by botanical gossip. We understood that there was just one small clump only of this plant on a bare rock towards the back of the mountain summit not far from Ben Nevis with no discernable tracks leading to the site. Diapensia has a very short flowering period sometimes beginning in Mid May and only opens in sunshine.
So we needed a morning of good climbing weather, the right time of year, good navigation skills, an exact location for this one clump, plenty of energy and an afternoon of summer sunshine on top of a remote Scottish mountain.
Easy peasy.
Our group was led by Janet's husband Neil Macpherson an experienced mountain walker who, by way of a warm-up, had strolled 15 miles with friends in the Cairngorms the day before.
When we arrived at the Glenfinnan car park the cloud base was below 2,000 feet so if it stayed there was no chance of seeing the flowers even if we found the one and only clump - assuming we'd guessed correctly about the flowering period. The leaves of Diapensia lapponica are also easily confused with Loiseleuria procumbens (Trailing Azalea) so we really did need to see the plant in flower.
We had details of where to start and how to approach the climb from someone who had successfully done the trip a few years before. This included the essential GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) references for the plant. Sometimes GPS references are dismissed as new fangled nonsense by those who prefer traditional methods of navigation but we felt we needed every little bit of help we could get. Moreover we were aware that only a short while before our attempt, the Inverness naturalists had failed to find Diapensia when armed with maps, compasses, correct grid references but no GPS.
For those unfamiliar with hand held GPS equipment you should know that there is only a little screen with information about your height and a 10 figure grid reference which you can relate directly to your OS map. Unlike the ones in a car no soothing voice tells you to turn left at the Huperzia selago (Fir clubmoss) and carry straight, for 400 metres past the Vaccinium uliginosum (Bog Bilberry) looking out for Loiseleuria procumbens (Trailing azalea) by the large rock which looks like Mick Jagger's nose.
We had carefully printed out the ascent guidance which was totally ignored by our leader who decided to invent his own way up. We started at the splendid Glenfinnan railway viaduct, over a stile and straight into a bog.
So far so good.
