Consuming unhealthy amounts of coffee, beer and cast iron brake dust

Lots of families on Disney trips in the lounge. My sympathies to all the forlorn looking dads that have been forced to wear Mickey Mouse ears and personalised t-shirts.

Because, of course, I get to the head of the airport lounge waiting list just as I purchase a pint in the bar next door!

Quick trip to Leeds off sitting spare, covering for a colleague that was assaulted on board an earlier service.

A dimly lit train cab.

Day off work. I’ve drawn up a list of jobs to do, which will likely be ignored and done tomorrow instead.

Good morning from Hull where, unfortunately, I am at work instead of at the SPBW wooden cask day which is where I’d much rather be.

Taking advantage of the Members Bar being open tonight. I don't normally have the pleasure of being down this end on a League night. In a few months, it'll all be demolished for the new stadium to be built.

Another pleasant evening at the Dalyer. Bohs are playing some club called Chesterfield. Apparently they're local to me, can't say I've ever heard of them!

A wide angle view of the pitch at Dalymount Park, Dublin.

Attenborough programme about camels on the TV at work and I'm finding it difficult to resist the urge to shout "Phwor! Look at the camel toe on that!" whilst they show close ups of them stomping along.

It’s really cloudy outside today. Even a bit of mist as well. Not a statement that would usually be worth making but, after a month of being cooked by the sun, I’m happy for a bit of cool off.

Tonight's shenanigans continue: I'm now running a train down to Nottingham and back. However, someone at control has marked both runs as cancelled and it's shown as such on every station screen and app, resulting in a usually very busy train being very quiet indeed.

Because should you centralise signal control for a region entirely in one location, it's of course not going to cause too much trouble when there's a complete power failure… Extended break now, anyway.

Unusual crap used as parcel packaging…of the week! Anyway, should you require the outer box for Rainbow Six 3 for Xbox (game and headset not included), let me know before the bin gets collected tomorrow and it's yours.

An outer box of Rainbow Six 3 for Xbox, with a yellow and white label on it. The label contains a barcode, which I have edited out.

Everybody stay calm, this is not a drill. We have a double pink elephant alarm, repeat, double pink elephant alarm.
