The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
A bit of west London news hit the newspapers and BBC radio with the running from today of a new electric battery train. This replaces the diesel trains they were running on this short route before.
It is the most successful battery train so far apparently.
I don’t think it is the first time that I used the line, but it is not many. One stop to Drayton park after our Pilates class.
The train was full of nerds 🤓 of many ages. Very excited, taking lots of pictures and videos.
Great 😊
A walk the other day along the River Brent under the viaduct.
Another book read.
Not bad. A lot of possibly necessary or usual detail about elections and internal party politics. But interesting about him personally and his interactions with other leaders such as Johnson during the Brexit negotiations and dealing with political crises .
Worth the read.
We are in London in a new flat.
The journey in a high sided van was a little uncomfortable through northern France as the remnants of the storm included strong winds and lots of rain.
After a great 3-0 win the table shows an amazing position. Other games still going on so change possible. But all the same-WOW!
So yesterday’s snow remains and it was cold overnight- I think minus 4 Celsius. So shutter motor was frozen and water pipes too.
Fire on in the salon.
Warming up now late morning so hopefully everything will be working normally soon.
Predicted snow but more than I expected.
Luckily we were out and about this morning.
An interesting book about football and its politics and finances. The involvement of states in the ownership of clubs and the dodgy sources of money and club owners.
A few more to go.
A good read. Beautiful story.
