Definitely you should all get your mugs from Natt. They are even accommodating of bonkers custom requests for weirdos like me who like/work with Voyagers! 😂 (still going strong after almost 18 months of mileage! 💪)

I now has a new battery. Which is showing 100% battery health but seems to be draining as quickly if not quicker than the old knackered one... 🙃

Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

Headed to work for another shift, and I'm just -tired- Exhaustion is something that round the world travellers get, and nurses working round the clock, and soldiers in war zones. So I won't take the piss, I'm not 'exhausted' but I am so very tired. My battery is flashing low power.

Chap I worked with a couple of years ago started his career on the very last years of these beasts, trained as a Driver and ended up in Control. He saw so much change. Lucky to have been a recipient of a fraction of that wealth of experience and knowledge. He retired last week. Absolute legend. 🙌

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

Climate breakdown is a national security threat. Nature loss puts our food, water, health, economy and stability at risk. The Government no longer has the luxury of time. We need urgent action and a dedicated Climate Protection Unit. We need a Number 10 for the future.

RT with your home river. I grew up on the borders of South Staffs, the Stour was my closest river, running at that point as a stream, on its way to Stourport to join with the mighty Severn. These days I'm further north. We've the River Rother and the River Hipper which converge in Chesterfield.

"The Wolf Who Chews Rocks" by @russincheshire.bsky.social is witty, entertaining and superbly illustrated - the book is a delight for any reader, but especially those with their own four-legged friends! 🐶 (The description of German Shepherds in the Field Guide is also astoundingly accurate!) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
