Been staring at this sign for thirty-eight hours, no one has yet delivered instructions. Getting thirsty. Don't know how much longer I can last. Someone, please... send instructions.

Bethan's Rock is a small grey stone on display at Poole Museum in Poole, England. It was donated to the museum in 2019 by a five-year-old girl named Bethan, and it has since attracted significant attention on social media and become the museum's most famous object. - Wikipedia

The original eurostar logo lives on in some of the non-public parts of the station. It's a lot cooler in the subway that on the platforms today. A busy standby shift to end my week.

The Severnside Sirens are found in 12 locations around the Severn Estuary. Installed in 1997 following a fire at the Avonmouth Docks, they are intended to raise the alarm following an incident involving hazardous materials stored around the Severn. They are tested at 3pm on the 3rd of every month.
