Last night I had a breif encounter with a fellow RMweber under the station clock at Carnforth!

So there I am stud behind the door when the post lady sticks a card through to say I'm not in and the parcel has been left at a house down the road. as I open the door she tells me she didn't know I was in so left the parcel down the street! But you never knocked I said.. She then told me if it was to much trouble for be to go and collect it she would get it and drop it of later! Royal mail making Yodel look good

When I lived in the UK, I used to receive a lot of (eBay) parcels at home. As I worked, and therefore often wasn't at home when the post lady came on her bike, I made an arrangement with her to leave anything for me at the village PO and just put a parcel slip through the door and I would collect when I could. It was then that she told me that for registered mail with a specific delivery time that they must make an attempt to do so, even though they know the person almost certainly won...

SHMBO has been out and got new paintfor the living room. The good news is that they seem to be railway colours. The not so good news is it would match 57601 in Porterbook livery!!!

Tesco and Wilkinsons have teamed up to make a secret rain making device. They need to be used together and have the code names of fence paint and brush! If you take both outside together the sky turns black, if you atempt to open the "fence paint" it starts to rain!

This week is not going well! Mangaged to stab myself with a used needel at work.... The only up side (if there is one) is that it was from a 90 odd year old woman and not one of the regular IV drug users that was in the next bed!

Sun shine, wind, rain and snow! not a bad afternoon in Carnforth...

Today I watched as an elderly couple walked off the ramp at the end of the platform and along the 4ft to take photos of the lovely woodwn door on the end of the coach whilst stock was been shunted out of WCR. I explains the danger, he said can we get that way to the steam engine's? Then they had an argument about it!

SHMBO left reading glasses at work. Reading new hair drier instructions for her... Hair must be towel dried or fully dry! Why would you need a hair drier if your hair is dry?

Have nipped into the doctors today with a medical emergancy, and expecting to have to fight for an appointment with the receptionist, only to be told "go upsatairs and I'll phone the doctor to tell her to see you stright away". Now that is the service we should see from the NHS.

Not sure if I should be happy or sad! Just returned from Preston MRC exhibition and only spent £10. And £7 of that was to get in!

What a day! And just when you think it could not any stranger.... You find a double decker vintage tram on a low loader at the end of the street! I think he must have taken wrong exit at jc35...

Wifey says my railway room is a mess (well post water shed version)! I would like to think of it as well used... That does leave the question of who is using it as I don't seem to find the time to!!!!!

I think I've killed my back. It only hurts to move or keep still.....

My least favourite loco and Statesman Rail my least favourite operator. Paid handsomely for a steam hauled trip Lancaster over Settle and Carlisle to Carlisle and back. 48151 hit problems at Preston (injector) and replaced by class 47 County of Essex at Hellifield. All Statesman concerned about was making up and gaining time so the pleasures of a steam loco wiring hard and lingering views of the countryside were substituted by a diesel flat out and the scenery a blur. Statesman didn't giv...

Well I've done it. Found a new job in the same hospital and told my boss! As she put it well done "ok but you do relise your jumping out of the frying pan and int the fire". Still fire isn't that bad right! After allit's the main ingredient for steam engines?

Christmas has come early for me! Family xmas today as we are all workin 25 & 26th. Started off with trip behind (we in front of) 37401. What a start to Christmas

Confussion.... I have an interview at work for a new job on Monday, but the NHS wont accept my NHS ID badge that they gave me as ID! Why do I have an ID badge if it can't be used as ID?

during Mondays power cut at tea time I found myself cooking bacon and egg on a firing shovel and the log burner! I could of used the gas cooker, but where's the fun in that?

Power back on after 31hrs. Well done to the hard working boys and girls from Electricity North West, the Emergancy service, the voluntary emergency services and the British Army for keep the Lancaster area safe

Well. I am now the happy user of an insulin pump, which in terms of eating makes me almost not dibetic! Happy days, now of to catch up on al the childhood sweets I have missed for the last 35yrs!

Wow. Occupational health had four railway mags in the waiting room. Not bad for the NHS! Even better when you think it is built in an old railway yard of Lancasters first station...
