I do love a steam train and this just puffed past my office (not my picture). Nice name for an engine!

Ooooh a 4-6-2 Merchant Navy Pacific in Southern Railway livery!
That whooshing sound you hear is the last shreds of my cool credibility flying out of the window.

Listening to an amazing programme on Radio 4 interviewing the doctors who tried to save John Lennon. I don't think I could listen if I were a huge Beatles nut - it's profoundly depressing. But amazing.

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
Looking at the calendar yesterday, it's only fitting that the shortest and gloomiest day of the year falls on a Wednesday, the middle of the work week.
And rain is scheduled. We need it.

I don't know if I'd be able to do that anymore at my age. I remember many a sleepless night and then having to go to work. Being in my 30s helped.

i can still do it but given Madame is a great sleeper. On the odd occasion she is up it does hit me hard. Curly Wurly wasnt a great sleeper but i was used to her routine

Just bought a Nintendo class nes mini for myself. Beyound giddy. I've never actually finished Mario bros on the nes. Better put in for time off from work, two weeks ought to do it.

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
I wanted to take my last seven weeks off before officially retiring but the company rule is you have you work your last day. So I'll take seven weeks off minus one day then work the last day of February and then fuck off. I could retire earlier but there's a 6%tax penalty and I paid rhat back in October when I cased in 80 hours so I decided the govt. got enough money from me so I'll be stubborn and collect what's owed.
Everything is broken

Excellent stuff Les! Enjoy it! Well in seven weeks anyway!

This has been a pretty eventful year for you, Les. You have plans once you retire?

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
I have a friend who lives in Idaho and posted the pic below.
Webster (last name) and I had PE first period in high school. On rainy days, we used to have to run under the courtyard hallway overhangs that were around the school. About two laps in after the teacher went back to his office, we'd sneak down to the parking lot, hop in one of our cars, get stoned and get donuts downtown and rush back to join everybody running. After class on one of these days, the PE teacher asked the class why they couldn't run as hard as Webster and Crook

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
Mom’s in the hospital again. Dad noticed this morning that she was slurring her words and not remembering the names of old friends so he called 911.
That was around noon or so and it’s now almost six. She’s had some tests that suggested that if it was a stroke it was a minor one. But while her speech is no longer slurred, she’s only sporadically making sense. A doctor was trying to ask her what happened and she was answering questions different from the ones he was asking. He and I looked at each other and I said “uh oh.”
That was some hours ago and we’re still waiting for an MRI. When she’s making sense at all she’s often substituting words (a cloth bag that came with her is now her “inheritance”).
This is some scary shit.

I'm sorry love. I hope everything goes as well as it can. At the risk of sounding like I love hospitals, which I do, she is in the right place. xx
