Morning y'all
That was a close shave could have quite easily not made it
Damp underfoot outside

Serves em right for buying Japanese trains instead of British, they would be OK on the lines in Japan (modern and smooth) but on undermaintained British tracks (lumpy bumpy) it's no wonder they cracked.
Bit like when they had to ask a private owner of a vintage 'Deltic' to help out.

Yes ! Most of ours is Victorian .Most of them were built in the UK. Japanese railways do seem to be heavily engineered with more spare capacity than Britain, and they probably benefit from being a relatively modern system compared to the UK.
Gotta love some Prog!! Jethro Tull? Ruck Wakeman? The Nice? 🤔 👌Rather enjoying some Prog Rock on Youtube after my chicken rendang curry.... the heat has abated a bit, but the geiger counter is still in the red so i'll give it a bit

It turns out that my metabolism is so used to getting up early, it doesn't need an alarm clock any more.
I'd like to make a "trial ride" to my future employer but the sky looks a bit dark...
You only finished working at your last place within the last week, you can't be that much out of practice.Trial ride complete. It's about 15k or 9 miles thirteen chains, or fifteen half horses and twenty one dessert spoons or whatever the imperial fractions are. The ride in took 35 minutes and the return took 45 minutes, because there was a headwind and I investigated a longer but more scenic route back.
From experience this year the wind blows north in the morning and south in the afternoon, so I should be travelling with the wind in both directions.
Photos didn't happen as I was timing myself but I'll be riding the route again soon: my legs are telling me they need the practice...

Okay, you might have trouble sitting down. Is that a bad thing in the job?The last place was only 4.5k away, so it's a bit of a change.
Also: new Brooks saddle.
