Starting tomorrow, you can watch fish traffic via an underwater camera livestreaming from an Utrecht canal. If you spot waiting 🐟, you can ping an operator to open the Weerdsluis lock gate & let them through. Highly recommend this for easing elevated stress levels, or if you just like helping fish

β€œWe cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Apparently you have to let the drink cool a little before adding the oat milk or it’ll do this.

Most of the time I just take the risk

The Great Heck memorial garden with a GNER train passing behind

Today we remember the 10 people who died in the Selby rail crash at Great Heck, 25 years ago on 28 February 2001.

Six passengers and four railwaymen lost their lives in this tragedy and 80 people were seriously injured.

Today railway colleagues will be gathering in Newcastle and Selby to remember

Mothering Sunday on March 15th. It's hard if she's not around. I'll be reading out the names of our remembered #Mums26 from the top of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. You can see across the sea to the Lake District. If you'd like your Mum/Mam/Mom's name added to the list, reply with hashtag! ❀️ πŸ‘‘

Alas, not to take the bin bag & recycling from the kitchen and out to the kerb, no.

For reasons unexplained, this little patch of Kent doesn’t seem to do wheelie bins…

Have a good evening both

This then leads on to the next point; fairness. Gone are the days of dedicated luggage vans, so trains have a finite amount of luggage space that needs to be available all passengers.

Too much and the aisles are suddenly full of suitcases with nowhere else to go.

Because people then take β€œwhat you can carry” as a challenge and turn up with three massive suitcases that they can barely wrangle from the taxi rank to the train.

The gecko looks impressive. Certainly better than anything I’d have managed.

Enjoy Derby or try to at least. When I was there for the β€˜Greatest Gathering’ in August it seemed an…interesting place, despite being my place of birth. Can see why we moved to St Albans by the time I turned 1
