I was at today Newcastle to see Flying Scotsman, not for the first time though.

5th fastest cyclist on Fawcett St sprint on strava. Get in!

Must be something in the air as even I'm feeling happy! Had a good outing today which was my first proper day out in a little while. 3965 on the X21 was a nice surprise (sadly got swapped onto 6303 at Chester) and best of all, I finally managed to catch up with 7439 again and got a video for me YouTube: https://youtu.be/7h-ieBD0nb0

You'll still need a microscope for when 706 ends up finding its way loaned up there!

That's a good spot for a flat. Shops pretty much only 5 minutes walk away. Railway and bus stations both within walking distance.

Needs to be vacated by 1st June as it's still occupied and then the men from the housing group need to go in to do any maintenance and repairs so the housing office said will get to have a look at it week beginning 5th June.

In a similar sense, penis enlargements is or at least was one of the most common spam emails people would get as some people want it and others want it for someone else

Ooh, some Nigerian Prince wants to put some money into my bank account, please go ahead and do that!

Had a good day in Carlisle going to Stagecoach's Open Day at their depot

I get them, too.

New issue of bus and coach preservation has a good article on the history of the Eden. Also interesting article about an ex gne olympian.

There's also photos of the 500 group running day and also Scarborough bus fest. Jimmi is in a photo at Scarborough about to board a Bristol lh.

Damn bus spotters, with their bloody cameras!

Five days until myself and Kurt head down to Bournemouth for a week..... It will certainly be nice to have a good change of scenery.

Got the keys for the new flat today, first thing I done was arrange sky and broadband to be installed, haven't even decorated yet or have any furniture for it

Raised £3286.85 for Marie Curie!

The bigger lens for my camera has just arrived, and well chuffed with it. Hoping to get up to Newcastle Airport tomorrow with the other half in order to try it out!

Had a great drive around South East Northumberland today. Visited a few small independents. All the operators were friendly and I got some good photos. The people at the private ambulance company near Cramlington were a bit bemused about someone taking an interest in their vehicles mind. They'd never met a bus enthusiast before.

You've spent a few weeks in a car park outside a block of 'toillette's'?

It's very you in fairness 

Most Travelodge's and Premier Inn's I've stayed in have had worse views, usually overlooking a car park or the more exotic ones overlook Poundworld or a costume shop, worst was Wolverhampton where my room was right where people went to smoke outside, so you could hear people at all hours and they could totally see in through the window, so blinds remained closed for the duration of that hotel stay.

Just seen this now. Congratulations! That is an amazing amount for such a great cause :

Thanks! Doing it all again next year but for Mind UK!

Sky have finally activated my phone line so my broadband is now working in my flat after waiting for a month for them to do it which means I can move in properly within the next couple of days.
