So as I chill on my PNB, I've looked at this weeks stats on the fit app as it'll reset at midnight. This week I've.... Walked and cycled a total of 127.5 miles, and walked 183k steps. Not bad.

Last night I was the 19th cyclist at 0025!

One of the highest points you'll see a Bee Network bus. The 385 takes rest on Mellor tops before working back to Stockport via Marple.

JD Dunce just flown over Manchester

There's a little digital counter by the University on Oxford Rd which detects how many cyclists have used the cycle lane by that time of day. Last night at 0120, I was the 33RD to pass it. Going to keep a tally this week of what number I am at that time 😂

After working my rest day on Monday, it's officially back to work today, and the Fiido C21 will be getting a good workout by Sunday, with 4 cycles home this week 💪

Good morning from the High Peak. A beautiful day after torrential rain overnight. Like to wish my English friends a Happy St George's Day too.

Pleasant couple of days in Derby with the wife despite the football trying to ruin it.

Happy #nationaltraindriverday to all those on the footplate

Pleasant walk before my late shift.

Been back to the Future, I mean my railway past today.

Another beautiful day in the High Peak.

323s now on my traction card ✅

Proper drive of a 323 this morning to Paris and back. Pass out on Monday.

I kind of want to go

It's all about practical handling.. 😂

Learning something "new" this week...

What a glorious afternoon it's been. Usually on a Sunday on a long weekend I'd be beers deep by now, but the next 2 days, I'm grabbing 😉 "Mr I Don't Do Overtime", is doing his first rest days in nearly a year 😉 0540 start tomorrow go going to treat myself to the bus to work.

With only 7 A330-800s flying around the world, quite a treat seeing one over New Mills this morning

"D'ya fancy coming in 2 hours later and finishing an hour earlier today?"

Biggest soundbite for myself from today's Spring Statement is a little tidbit about ISA reforms. As a saver, I don't want Stocks and Shares. I'm happy with how it is thanks. Forcing me to invest my money in Stocks and Shares will lose my vote.

Well, Part 2 of my Twinned Town Challenge is up at 4pm tonight. Can I get from New Mills Strasse to Alsfeld Way by train with no issues? 4pm tonight 🙏 🇩🇪 🤝 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #NewMills #Alsfeld youtu.be/w9SaeZSuNnQ

30 min time lapse compressed into 12 seconds!

Last night I cycled to Mellor Cross to watch the sun set out west. Timelapae video incoming.

Good morning! 0604 train for a 0700 safety brief before 2 days off. Have a brilliant day.

My timeline over on Twitter is being peppered with Reform "Ads". Actual adverts! Doesn't matter how much you block or mute them. Tells you all you need to know about Twitter these days.

Well it's a Monday morning early turn which I haven't done for 5 weeks! 😂 Sat like a lemon at Piccadilly awaiting my, cancelled, empty stock move earlier. Least I've got my 10k steps in by 9am!

A very interesting piece on how Twitter is nothing more than a modern day Joseph Goebbels propaganda machine.

Last month I did a little experiment. I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky. The results were...interesting... [Thread]

Now showing on a device near you, part 1 of 2 of my Twinned Town Challenge where I go the easier way, from New Mills to Alsfeld. Part 2 out next week! Enjoy. #NewMills #Alsfeld youtu.be/hUdcYLi2y4Y?...

Last night's sunset as seen at Headbolt Lane before I worked back to Manchester Victoria.

At 6pm tonight, watch Part 1 of my Twinned Town Challenge is up as go the easy way between the Twinned Towns as I go from New Mills to Alsfeld by air and train with emotions running high at the end! youtu.be/hUdcYLi2y4Y

Not often on Easterlies we get departing aircraft over the house. The lunchtime A380 avoiding weather over it's usual DESIG departure.

Good morning Mr Zelenskyy

After a top weekend in 🇵🇱 with lads from work, we saw a certain Mr President of Ukraine this morning. How cool!
