Holiday in Lanzarote. Went for a run before the sun really got going and stopped to watch the sun rise over Puerto Del Carmen. Gorgeous. Run was hot and hilly! First time I've run near the sea.

Yesterday! Lunch cooked by the heat of a volcano, followed by sponge puddings in the shape of a volcano eaten on top of and in the shadow of another volcano! Timanfaya National Park - Lanzarote! Do it!

Lanzarote baby! Yeah!

Part of a much larger, important thread, but I had never seen the narratives broken down like this.

Afternoon tea, served in a locomotive cab!

Cat(ching) them in close proximity is a rare thing! They DO get on, I should add.

Another on-time arrival in a 69!

Once worshipped as Gods. Only they remember this.

Waking up to find England not only beat Mexico, but thumped them to three goals with 10 men. Superb!

REPOST THIS WIDELY PLEASE I rarely use emphases on here but this is do important.

The view from a locomotive cab window sat atop a viaduct in the middle of the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury! Good morning!

My life and career!

Stop saying Antifa. Use the full title: Anti-Fascist. It means more.

It’s Caturday! So here’s a few: Winter, Charlie and the late (and much missed) Cleo.

Rumor has it Collins was "deeply concerned" over his remarks about her‼️ Maine oysterman running for Senate, Graham Platner tore into Sen. Susan Collins at a recent rally ‼️

It’s a hard life!

If you don't understand why your gay and trans friends are scared right now... You don't have gay friends... you may know gay or trans people, but you're no friend to them.

Come downstairs quietly this morning and found Mr Furry out for the count! So sweet!

Birthday cake and a cappuccino! Nice!

Got a date for a minor surgical procedure. I don’t know, the older I get, the less pleased I am to go under general anaesthetic.

1395 tons of rail ballast and sleepers about to head off to Whitemoor yard!

Listen Duolingo. You demote me from a league one minute then promote me several days later. I learn slowly and do a little lesson or two everyday. I’m not interested in being top of the league or winning prizes! You do what you like and I’ll keep carrying on doing it how I want to do it! Ok?

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️ if you do, too.

Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

April marks the three year point before I get a:

Indeed.

Yay! I got the job!

Great job interview yesterday. Now the sweating begins for the result. On paper I appear to be one of the top candidates.

I keep getting followed by young women. Just for the record, I’m 58 and very happily married. Stop it.

Three things for me to get down this new year. My stage one hypertension blood pressure, my pre diabetes blood sugar level and more decent music! Just become a Dua Lipa fan at 58!

2025 marks the start of my 39th year on the railway. Also celebrating the 200th anniversary of the railways founding. Excited to see the industry’s continued evolution into the future.

First ever home made Christmas cake! Well done me!

Train in Ukraine.

Part of my salary (thought by some to be ‘excessive’) includes having to learn this & retain that knowledge in my head: The rail lines around Stratford in East London! All the line speeds, signal indications (which ones I can, or can’t accept) where I can and can’t go! It’s a brain buzzer!

No God botherers following me please! I’ll connect to the creator my way & in my own time. I need neither a building nor a medieval book to show me the way. I’ll be judged on my judgement day, thank you! (Until then I will be a gentleman, be free of prejudice & contribute to charities of my choice)

Christmas party time! Scrubs up well!

Want to open your ears to something rather different? Take a listen to the Jeff Lynne composition ‘Kuiama’ off the album ELO II. Just for the violin solo.

One of three! Oh and some light up penguins! (Of course!)

@keanu123.bsky.social Watched your fascinating documentary on Brawn F1. Excellent work.

Who can resist the charms of Charlie!
