That Tall Bloke

I’m miffed I missed World Book Day apparently.
I was going to dress as the Train Driver’s Rulebook 🤔
I’d just need to wear something very heavy, be awkward to move about and keep randomly getting changed every few hours 😇

Oh absolutely but not today

I must confess I didn’t! Though in my defence we were in a 745 so no proper vroom cupboard 🙂

You’ve been reading the drivers manual haven’t you 😂

I met a fascinating chap today who started life on the railway working on these for British Rail!
He was very impressed by the cab of my Stadler, particularly the air conditioning and sausage roll holder 🙂

This is an excellent idea! I shall try it out. This morning it was only just beginning to get light when I finished my first journey 😩 but only 2 more early shifts to go 🥳

A bit later tomorrow, 0420hr is my alarm 😢 Haha now you’ve got me wondering! Is putting the flasks in the freezer part of a clever plan?

I’d love to argue but I think you may be right 😂

Is pretty much what I thought when I realised. Although it’s not what I said 😇

Nooo 😂

😂 I see you were on board when I realised. That’s most kind, fortunately I do keep a spare as I know what I’m like!

Some idiot (possibly me) threw away my flask and carefully packed the paper cup from Costa in my work bag… I’m blaming these early shifts 🤦‍♂️

I’ll let him know and maybe once he’s stopped screaming he’ll consider it 😂

My shift swap partner is temporarily broken so I’m having to try and survive both sides of the shift 😢

What a wonderful plan! I’ll make a mental note of the bakers just in case I’m across that way 😊

Today is my first early so I’m ready to leap into action like a coiled spring… or maybe just flop into action like a failed shock absorber 🤔
Have a great week!

It is indeed Ipswich 🙂 ah I see your thinking, so they should paint the shrubbery and trees orange and black to blend in 🤔 what a cunning plan 😂

That’s very kind, thank you 😊

Same thing could be safe for a few car makers 🤔 love that Intercity livery, great photos!

Blooming right!

Very true! Sound advice 😂

Not many people know that the Class 90 tends to hunt in packs.
They use long grass for cover and sneak up on unsuspecting prey.
If you see one it’s best not to approach it as there could be more you haven’t seen 🤔

Thank you!

Ooh snow ploughs o’clock!

On this day in 1981 something happened 🤔
Unfortunately it happened to a TGV and the plaque was written in French so I couldn’t read it so I can’t tell you what happened just that something happened.
You’re welcome! 😊

It really has! Isn’t it lovely to see something other than rain for a bit? 🙂

Both bring peace and happiness and make the day feel a little better 🤔 yes I can see the similarities 😂

Then you’re in absolutely the right place 😊

I panicked for a moment when I got a message saying “there’s a weird orange thing in the sky!”
Turns out the sun has just come out for a change, panic over 🙂
