This evening I’ve been mostly helping rescue a swan that was being hassled and cornered by other territorial swans.

She can’t fly at the moment as she’s in her annual moult. Her partner seems to have abandoned her too.

She’s now safe, moved to the local flock. I’ll check on her in the morning.

Ah, you too this week.

Ended up having to go to the depot and collect.

I will name the company too - DHL.

Today…

Nice narrow delivery window!

Reckon we’ll see it today?

The GPS position on the drivers hand-held terminal when the “No Answer” was logged?

Not outside my house.

Just around the corner from the depot.

What a wonderful experience from
DHL.

Failed next day delivery yesterday - reason “No Answer”.

But someone was there all day.

There’s a motion activated camera on the front door and driveway. No delivery attempt was made.

I’d forgotten about Noseybonks.

They really were quite terrifying.

Don’t know that I’ll sleep now.

If you don’t know what a Noseybonk was/is, don’t go searching to find out. Continue in ignorance. It’s better that way.

How long has it been since there was a Tesco at Canary Wharf? 🤔

I just went outside - a layer of snow and freezing fog in the air.

The smell and feel of the air reminded me of being at an ice rink.

Large crystals of ice on a car roof after a freezing night.

That was the car this morning.

She doesn’t look her 37 years… seems as though EXS maintenance folks really looked after them.

Nice to see you choosing the “Phil” in Liverpool.

It’s a really good venue, the room has a good feel about it.

It’s going to be a static image and someone has probably read it as a real working clock - rather than the clock in the Aston caption - been late for something and complained. 😁

Ignoring the red-faced Ofwat man trying to justify water bill hikes for a minute…

Notice that the clock face on “Big Ben” in the background has been crudely blurred out. 😂

Grace Dent to replace Gregg Wallace on Celebrity MasterChef Wallace stepped away from presenting MasterChef after a BBC News investigation heard allegations against him.

Called it!

More Euston stupidity. One lot of departure boards is showing a static engineering work message.

Only the screens facing into the middle are showing departures.

Therefore everyone is stuffed into the middle of the concourse between the screens. 🤯

In a pub. With a bunch of people from an Internet meeting.

All I can hear is a wall of sound. All the conversations near me are all equally as loud as each other, and I can’t pick any one conversation out easily. Even the people I’m right next to.

It’s tiring.

Such is how my brain works.

Are AWC going on a massive crackdown on split ticketing?

All but one Train Manager in the last two weeks has been hectoring on and fearmongering about “invalid split tickets”.

“Kebab policy”?
