Nice little run this afternoon but probably got the timing wrong as I was slaloming around school kids for most of it 😂

George had to make do with my spot on the sofa this morning as I was busy being out and about and building a bed (which he’ll no doubt commandeer when it has a duvet on). He’s been very patient and has now got the cuddle he wanted 😻 #catsofbluesky

I’m glad that’s over, has been a grim slippery day. Just pass home now and then I’m off until Friday.

With 720508 now leading 521 we’ll be working 1Y24 to Ipswich. I’ll be relieved at Colchester for my break and a colleague will take the units to Ipswich and back and I’ll pick them back up when they get back 👍

Slept better last night but still not quite enough sleep for my liking. Woke up a lot less than I have been the last couple of weeks. Hopefully some decent bed times in the next 3 days will set me up for the last week or so before our holiday 😊

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Having a day off from exercise today as my body needs a rest and I have a little ache in my right leg. Will still go for a walk with Sara before work though. George should get plenty of lap time too 😊

A few mins late into London with 1F77 after following a track machine from Colchester to Ilford. Now it’s 720542’s turn to lead 125 on 1N60 to Clacton where they’ll spend the night.
