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.

Joy. I have a winter cold coming on. Need to shake it time for my employer’s Christmas party on the 14th.

Who can resist the charms of Charlie!

Deposit paid for our holiday to Austria! So looking forward to a good healthy dose of alpine air!

More pardonees!

didn’t see quite the same level of outrage about these pardons

The joy of freight trains. 7 hours sat in the dark depths of Peterborough West Yard!

Curse! My watch has stopped! New battery time!

Pencilled in to be put up the beginning of next week. (With all the other associated stuff) The end of the year approaches. Many changes to come in the new year too.

Charlie. Nuff said.

Everyone should have a drum kit in their lives! Great for telling the time. My neighbours were banging on my door shouting why I was playing at 3am!

Cobbles in a Northern English town.

I wish I could do art. I can paint my house, but can’t paint a house, it always ends up as that thing that 5 year old kids draw. And let’s not start on trees!

They grow from the landscape.
