Ahh sorry! My bad! It’s really lovely to work with the NHS! Hopefully the reference and dbs won’t take too long and then you can start enjoying spending time supporting the hospital!

Wonderful! Are you enjoying it?

Ah that’s great! Is that with the NHS?

What have you been up to lately? Are you still studying?

Sorry I missed this! Nice capture! Looks like a Class 37!

I know! It’s rather pricey! Oh the Eiffel Tower is one I dream about, it’s ridiculously big - it’s nearly 150cm tall! And ridiculously expensive!!! It blows my mind that the set has 10,000 pieces! #NotAloneTalk

Thank you ☺️ Apologies for disappearing last night, I don’t know where the time went!

Lego have a range of buildings that kind of join together so you can create a sort of row of different buildings… I think there’s a museum, cafe etc and they link together! This is my first one! #NotAloneTalk

Ah are you a Lego fan too? I loved Lego as a child and I got back into it last year! Some of the sets are so intricate and detailed! #NotAloneTalk

Most definitely! That is very true, you learn different ways of tolerating it, but it definitely doesn’t make it easier… just different I think #NotAloneTalk

Oh that is amazing!! Thanks for the photo! Is it somewhere you can go back to in the future? #NotAloneTalk

Thank you! It was something I wanted to do for a while
Indeed not particularly pleasant! Last year I very cleverly (not!) dropped a filing cabinet drawer on it! And it never properly healed so we had to turn to drastic measures

It’s one of the modular buildings, I’m quite enjoying it #NotAloneTalk

Oh wow! That sounds wonderful! I imagine that was a pretty special experience! It’s sometimes lovely to just observe wildlife going about their days, especially in the wild!! #NotAloneTalk

(Forgot the #NotAloneTalk tag 🙊)

Evening! Have you been up to anything nice today?

Hope you have a good evening’s rest! 💤 #NotAloneTalk

Thank you ☺️ I’m tired this evening, had a busy but lovely day on top of recovering from toenail surgery! I’m currently trying to build a Lego set, but not having much success as I’m so tired!

I’m sorry to hear that 😔 I’m finding life much the same lately, most things are stressful #NotAloneTalk

Hi! Long time no speak! How have you been? Just thought I’d pop by and say hello! I keep forgetting to join in and suddenly remembered this evening! #NotAloneTalk

To the top left of graphic there are two light green bubbles, one that reads “New World Record” and the other reading “200 miles!”. Then below that there is an art deco inspired illustration of the GWR green Class 230 Battery Train with green, yellow and grey lines representing speed positioned above and below the Class 230 train. To the right there is a green rectangle with the text: “Congratulations On the 20th August 2025 Great Western Railway’s battery train set a new world distance record of 200 miles for a battery train on a single charge! This monumental achievement was accomplished during the 200th anniversary of the modern railway. What a testament to GWR and Network Rail for developing such a record breaking technology. Congratulations to everyone involved in this ‘once in a lifetime’ achievement. It really shows the innovation in our wonderful railways. everythingtrains.co.uk | samsdp.co.uk”

Yesterday, @gwr.com's Battery Train broke the world record for the furthest a battery train has travelled on a single charge - 200 miles!
 
GWR’s achievement was part of the Railway200 celebrations
 
Here is an illustration that I designed to mark this fantastic achievement!

A Network Rail light blue class 153 train

Nice! I saw one of these a couple of months ago too!

Brilliant photos Joanna!! Thank you for sharing them!

Ah lovely! Did you see a lot of planes?

Wonderful! I’m sure you’ll be brilliant! Are you looking to volunteer in a particular department/team?

No I didn’t go unfortunately… I think it would have been a bit too busy for me. Looked like a great event though!

Ooo exciting!! Is that with the NHS?

Apologies for the delayed response, I very rarely check my notifications on Bluesky!

Hi Joanna! Lovely to hear from you! I’m still here although I’m not on social media as much as I used to be. How are you doing?

Hi Joanna! Ooo are you enjoying it? What subject is it?

Thank you ☺️ #NotAloneTalk

I certainly did! One of my latest Art Deco prints! Many hours of work went into that one! #NotAloneTalk

Ah I’m glad I’m not alone! There seems to be a lot of stuff that’s expected over Christmas when it feels to me like in reality it’s just another day!

Thank you 😊 I had a rough evening last night with trauma stuff, and I think that just spilled into this morning #NotAloneTalk
