I remember going there when it had just opened. Saw a football league game at their old ground back in the day.

Very rare for me these days as I’m usually scraping in just before kick off. First beer I’ve had in over a month too.

A trip to Carlisle was always rewarded with the sight of these amazing machines. 86101 ‘Sir William A Stanier FRS’ stands in the middle sidings of the city. #Carlisle #Class86 #InterCity #AL6 #BritishRail

🌙🐾 Night night, sweet dreamies. 🧡 Life is full of different chapters. Some make us smile, some make us cry, and some we wish we could skip altogether. But remember, one difficult chapter doesn't mean the whole story is a sad one.

40 miles on Zwift this afternoon including a race where I came 9th out of 18, a couple of group rides and a bit of recovery. Legs were totally shot for the recovery but I persevered and managed to hit the 40 mile target 🚴‍♂️

Ariel in her remote observation area in the kitchen now after vet home visit. Another 300 g lost in weight so we're heading in the right direction with our hungry little Greek ex-street cat. So well behaved with the vet, too.

Maybe but I do think the people in it make or break it. Having seen a few series from other countries. I find the same with Taskmaster, they went through a rough patch but the last few have been better.
