I took this photo two years ago in Aldi, Huddersfield. It has always intrigued me and I wonder what case of beer was selected. Also did they abandon ALL their groceries, or just £11.99 worth. If the latter, what could they not relinquish? Toilet paper and pizza perhaps?

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

A day of not much visible progress on the modellbahn, but I did make a shelf for my z21 and Roco router. I have a VERY old iPad that is hardly any use for anything due to out of date software, but incredibly the Z21 App works on it.

Attending a concert in Halifax Minster last night and rather than stand in the cold we repaired to the adjacent Ring O Bells pub. What a great find! Nice beer selection, great atmosphere and friendly folks!

I have taken a break from track laying and built myself a small goods shed. Generally very pleased with the end result. The roof is fine sandpaper cut into strips and painted dark grey to mimic roofing felt. Tomorrow I should do some ballasting, but…😕

Our early bird tickets have sold out, but as it’s Christmas we’re going to extend the early bird price until twelfth night (Jan 5th) on a limited number of weekend tickets.. find them in the usual place!

A benefit of the current 'irregular' nature of trains at Huddersfield is that it allows time at The Head of Steam at the station. Despite what it says on the glass, my choice was an Obi Wan Cannoli Stout. A little too sweet for me, but I managed to force it down.

I am SO impressed with this gadget I have to repost it. I wish I had got one years ago.
Bought this in Aldi yesterday for £8.99. Put a cushion on it and it is absolutely fantastic for moving around under my layout changing the wiring.

I have increased the depth of my 2nd baseboard to 900mm. This is the maximum that is comfortable to stretch across. I now have the concept of a plan for a totally new track layout.

The rewiring of my baseboards continues. I have decided to fit 'snubbers' to both ends of my DCC BUS. Some say that no DCC BUS should be without these, others that their effect is marginal at best, but they don't do any harm.

Refurbishment of my Modellbahnkeller is complete and I can now start to re-install my layout. First task yesterday was rewiring my baseboards.

Call me cynical, but this tastes suspiciously like Guinness to me? I can just imagine some number cruncher in Diageo asking why they need to brew two different stouts.

Considering the outrageous prices charged for ‘craft beer’ these days, imagine my delight in finding a local supplier that offers beer at ‘how many cases can I get in car’ prices. Latest offers 4 x 440cl for £5,12 x 33cl for £10. Leeds Pale is not fine dining, but thirst quenching delight!

Might I suggest if the reason is “emergency services are responding to an incident” you claim delay repay and donate it to Samaritans! Most TOCS let you do this as part of the delay repay claim.

At £4 per can in our local Coop, I was expecting something a bit special. It was special alright, but not in a good way. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had a beer this bad! My only hope is perhaps this was a bad can and it is not supposed to taste like it did.
