I decided to do #Locktober this year. I’m fortunate in having a buddy who’s also locked up for the month with whom I’m sharing daily check-ins. I would have continued quietly through the month but I’m trying to put myself more out there again! (I recognize the irony in caging my junk to do that.)

In the process of going through old pictures I’ve taken and various mementos I’ve collected. Places. Events. Friends. Family. Found family. Men I’ve dated. Men I’ve fucked. Men I’ve loved. A number have since passed. A surprisingly larger number have since become train drivers.

Pinboard with lots of photos and mementos on

I grew a depression beard. Things are better now. The beard will go. Thank god. It’s terrible.

1) Two years ago I was told I had 6 weeks to find somewhere to live temporarily for 3 months and I owed £56k for renovations to the block my apartment is in. So I found temp accommodation and just took enough of my stuff for 3 months. The project ended up taking 2 years…

This last year has really been the worst year of my life.

FINALLY finished the No Man’s Sky “Relics” expedition. TBH I found it a bit of a slog. There’s usually a sprinkling of lore or a new perspective on the expeditions but this time it was “here’s new gameplay loop…now repeat” and it just didn’t grab me. Got some spiffy new duds out of it though! #NMS

I like this place. Some people say it’s creepy but I find it peaceful. No one around and the only sound is trains rattling along in the distance. #photography #panorama

Blarg. Been talking too much about work stuff. Here’s some dead cow. #gayleatherman

A man stood face on to the camera against a white background. His head is shaved and he has a badly dyed moustache. Dressed in leather, a pair of black breeches and a “cinnamon” (blame MR. Riegillio for that description) short sleeved shirt. One gloved hand resting on his belt buckle, the other forming a fist.

Blimey that was quick. Just got an email saying I’m through to the next stage. Ugh - it’s a “no need to take action” thing. It’s a screening stage and it’ll take several weeks. Not that surprised it’ll take so long as it’s one of the rare vacancies at this place that was open to external candidates

Stage 4 job interview done! It was all recorded for transcription as it was about voice communications. I kept on hearing my voice quaver because of nerves. Goddamnit! Ah well. I find out if I go through to the next stage in 10-14 days.

Almost a shame this is #monochromemonday Sat on my balcony, the sun shone bright, the sky was blue, the trees a rich green, everything…peaceful. Smoking a bowl of Condor in a Peterson straight stemmed billiard house pipe and thinking I should trim the face fuzz back down a bit. #gaypipeman

European Garden Spider in my lampshade. Hmmm. Things to do this year: 1) learn to draw 2) recarpet my flat 3) dust more frequently And actually read up on keeping spiders as pets. I miss having a pet. #macrophotography

Peterson Kinsale XL13 As bulldogs go, I prefer the 150. But this is a beaut 🙂 Smoking a bowl of Segar & Snuff Crème Brûlée. #pipesmoking

I’m sat slumped on a brown leather sofa. It’s one of those days. Red check shirt with braces over and a white undershirt. My head is shaved and for once my moustache is behaving and looks quite smart. Smoking a gorgeous Peterson Bulldog (XL13 model if you’re interested in such things)

Challenge accepted. As a product of the British boarding school system, I learned to cum in ABSOLUTE silence. You don’t want to draw attention to yourself in a dormitory with 13 other hormone monster boys. And besides, my accent is great for announcing trains over a PA and stuff…but sexy? Nope!

If you see this post, post or quote repost a boarded walkway, or something similar. #boardedwalkway #scenic #landscape

Having had to rationalise my life down to a handful of garbage bags to facilitate a quick exit several times in my time has left me almost pathologically resistant to accruing “things”. However, I do have a few keepsakes from over the years and blimey, they don’t half scream “GAY!”

Sometimes, when life is sucking, it’s just nice to go fishing in the middle of the ocean and watch the sunset, forgetting the day just gone. But I live in the middle of a city, so I make do. #NMS

Hmmm. Judging from FindMy, my AirPod case is still on the train (it’s done a few trips up and down the line to London and one up to Liverpool). Now if I can just figure out which one it’ll be, I’ll get that train on my way to work and hopefully get it back 🤞
