    A night shift changing circuits in a lineside relay location with 60044 standing alongside. What a marvellous noise those big power units make.

      Indeed. Down slow to up fast crossover renewal.

    A perfect day for using the forge. I'm probably a stone lighter.

    A pleasant day spent topping up ballast shoulders on the Greystone and Snailsworth Light Railway.

    A point so new the chairs haven't gone rusty. Heritage railway bliss. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32297024@N08/30325478108/

      It kind of stops being 'preservation' at that point and becomes something else - not a bad thing, though!

    A rear tyre blow out in lane 3 on the A14 focuses the attention.

      Just reminded me to change (still legal!) front tyres before snow gets here.

      I'm guessing Heaven for the first 3 days and then Hell for the other 3 when it all locks up! ;-}

      Putting back what was taken away.

    A week without an internet connection. BT says that is the quickest they can fix it. Stand by for me popping a gasket later if it's not working.

      I had major issues where they lied (the words of their own engineer) about the fault on our line - caused by one of their subbies cutting the cable whilst clearing trees. Eventually I phoned them and told them there were bare cables as a result of the line being cut and any deaths were down to them - an hour later they were there, the next day the cherry picker turned up and the fault was fixed.

      As an ex BT employee I'd have expected my boss to have lined us up in front of a firing squad for a simple repair to take this long.

      If you have hassle with BT send a polite e-mail explaining the problem in detail to:

       

      libby.barr@bt.com

       

      . . . and things will usually speed up appreciably!

    A whole week testing line side between Brundall and Acle with 37's and 68's zipping about.

    After waiting weeks for a diagnosis from the NHS for my stiff neck an ex GN mainline signalling inspector has found my problem. I'm not swallowing the viagra pills correctly.

      Why are you taking pills from Africa?

      Confirmed. You are meant to swallow them, they're not a suppository.

      I've had to leave afew people behind in hospitals but i've generally come away with more (my nine plus being a birthing partner twice) This is my first really negative experience but to be fair today was straight in and out. (five pages of the new M&GN book read whilst waiting)
