Ugh, Politicians. Irrespective of party rosette, politics will forever be the safe haven of the hypocritical, the narcissistic and the Machiavellian. They are not worth raising your blood pressure over - they wouldn't raise theirs for you. Breathe. Have a brew. Have a train.

Let's have a moment's appreciation for my favourite office watering can.
Settling back into this night shift lark is taking some getting used to. 😴 Still, for as long as we have 37s, all is well.
Yes, my socks match the seats. What of it? 😁
Ahh, the first day of September. I do like the 'ber' months - everything starts getting all wrapped-up and cosy and I can start wearing jumpers again. 😁 A busy month of travel beckons and excitement abounds. 🇫🇷🇨🇭🇦🇹🇩🇪🇳🇱🏴 Marvellous.
Stilton and chutney afternoon in the Control.
Not a bad way to start a Saturday. 😀
Since every other bugger's been calling me today, it was only a matter of time before the Teletubbies got started.
I do love a room with a view.
In Primark, attempting to source some necessaries for a last-minute overnighter in Brum tonight. How on earth do people make it out of these places? It's taken me fifteen minutes to find everything...
Is it me, or have people become noticeably worse recently at just casually walking out in front of cars? I don't drive a Scalextric. I can't just *stop* from 20mph, no matter how much you, or your sense of entitlement, think I should. Ugh. I hate driving. 😐 Have a train.
Three weeks' leave over, tomorrow it's time to go back to work. Hope they're all happy to see me. 😁
T'was ever thus...
Posting for the sake of tradition although, for once, I'm not actually in work on a bank holiday. 😁
Catching up with tonight's #TOTP episodes, where we've reached the sickeningly recent Easter 1998. If nothing else it's proven why, by this stage, I'd abandoned the charts entirely. What a harrowing cacophony this is. 😩 Have a train. It sounds better.
Perfect film and soundtrack. "You drink your coffee and I sip my tea. And we're sitting here, Playing so cool, Thinking what will be, will be. But it's getting kind of late now, I wonder if you'll stay now, Stay now, stay now, stay now. Or will you just politely say goodnight?
