I was very impressed by Small Prophets. A very original story, beautifully executed. I hope it does continue as I’d like to spend more time with these characters. #SmallProphets

The ever brilliant Mark McMillan (of APFS) has launched a website that should be catnip to TV presentation fans. 182 reconstructed TV clocks!!!

Driving along with my younger kid. She points to a Sainsbury delivery van and the back of it says, "satisfaction guaranteed" next to a large aubergine.
She said, "that is some promise"
I said, "imagine how many nectar points that would require.
I probably have enough."

I’d need slightly more comfortable seats to be impressed! Got the same carriage home again with Moova showing on the failed display. I’ve not seen the novelty reading lights before, with a choice of 2 brightness levels!

Decided to alight at Stafford. I remember looking at the aviary on the way to the town centre many years ago. I’m glad it’s still there. Nice bit of brutalism as the station too.

Today is my first time on an Avanti West Coast class 805. No more diesel under the wires! All seems ok, except the passenger information screens aren’t working properly / at all in my coach.

Blimey. Last time I headed out over Dimmocks Cote level crossing I was on the 0925 Crosscountry service from Stansted Airport. That’s the service involved in today’s collision.

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

Jesus the ads on ITV4 are depressing. Abused animals. Funeral plans. And gambling.

Going through my wardrobe, I put on an old pair of jeans I’d not worn for ages and went out. I now discover a hole in the crotch / gusset. Luckily I remembered my underpants.

Well worth watching the James Talarico / Stephen Colbert interview on YouTube, in my view.

Still sounds like stairs were involved. Unless the shop was subterranean? Hope you’re feeling a bit better.

Blinkin’ First Essex are showing a bus on the tracker that’s not in service. Bit of a shit show when I’ve been standing at this stop for 40 minutes with no service.
