A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.
Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.
Here, 2999 - "Lady of Legend", a 4-6-0 built in between 2009 and 2019 is in steam and will run on the main Demonstration Line.
2999 was built in such a way that it can be a 4-4-2 or as here a 4-6-0 version of the GWR 2900 "Saint" Class, None of which survived into Preservation. Some parts from Hall or Manor Locomotives were used in the build to an original Churchward design.

You ever notice how paint,
just sitting there in a tube,
is nothing but color with nowhere to go?
No story.
No pulse.
No reason to exist
until a hand picks up a brush
and says,
“Come on… let’s make something real.”
That’s the breath of the brush.
That moment where the artist leans in,
and the canvas leans back,
and suddenly the world has one more face
that didn’t exist five seconds ago.
But here’s the secret nobody tells you:
that same magic -
that same spark -
is everywhere.
It’s in the kitchen,
where a recipe is just a list
until someone stirs it with memory
and feeds someone they love.
It’s in the garden,
where dirt is just dirt
until someone kneels down
and decides it’s going to be a sanctuary.
It’s in the way someone rearranges a room
so it finally feels like home,
or the way a conversation
turns into connection
because one person dared to speak honestly.
We talk about “artists”
like they’re some rare species,
but the truth is
art is anything that becomes more alive
after you touch it.
A spreadsheet can be art
if it brings clarity to chaos.
A well‑timed joke can be art
if it lifts the weight off someone’s shoulders.
A text message can be art
if it makes someone feel seen
in a world that keeps looking past them.
Creation isn’t the medium.
It’s the transformation.
It’s the moment you take something ordinary
and breathe yourself into it
until it carries more meaning
than it had before you arrived.
That’s the breath of the brush.
Not the paint.
Not the canvas.
Not the tools.
You.
You are the breath.
You are the spark.
You are the thing that turns raw material
into something that matters.
And whether you’re holding a brush,
or a pen,
or a spatula,
or a steering wheel,
or someone’s hand -
you’re creating.
You’re shaping.
You’re giving the world
one more thing
that didn’t exist
until you breathed life into it.
locked inside, without a voice.
Dark and dying passion lies crumpled in agony, lies smothered in darkness, because of lies.Let the monster have it's way till passion reigns again, on high, in light, far, far, away from the closet.
Me ;-)
Its summer vacation....calgon, take me away!!!!
Oops, almost forgot. I have a lovely spread/interview with Sexis magazine. You can get your free print copy here. It features pics such as "what Bad girls" as well as "Passion Flower".
It happens frequently. That siren song of the open road. The desire to be anywhere but in my house doing the same old chores, waking up and following the same routines, going to the office and working in the same spreadsheets. I'm fortunate that I can heed that call and jump in a car and take a quick trip to a forest in Ohio, or hop on a plane and escape for a few days. Luckier still that I have the world's best travel buddy to go with me.
Another day in the office, not exactly hard at it but feeling much happier than going into work! Oh to dress every day like this and get paid...….
Game Played: One Night Ultimate Werewolf
Hosted by: Nyza Stillwater
__________________________________________________
What is it?
One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a fast-paced game for 3-10 players where everyone is dealt a secret role. Many of these roles have special abilities that will aid that player in gaining information. In the course of only one night and the following morning, the players will determine who among them is a werewolf... hopefully.

A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.
Here, Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" has formed a Double-Header with 401 - "Vulcan" ready to back onto the train at Percy Main station.

We made it to Friday again.
Well done team.
We woke to hear Storm Éowyn raging outside. It was the deepest low to hit the UK and Ireland, had gusts of up to 187 km/h in Ireland, but not here.
But we got gales and rain. On bin day!
So, once Jools left for yoga, I put the bins out and made sure they were up against the lamp post outside the house, so not to blow over in the wind, like many's already had.
Back indie for breakfast and a brew, then to work with three meetings and much updating of databases and spreadsheets.
By mid-morning, as forecasted, the winds dropped, the sky cleared and the sun came out.
As we had to catch an early afternoon train to London, so had taken the day off work, so got chores done, did a tip run and so on.
She got back at half eleven, I had one last meeting, then a pasty Jools brought back for lunch, then pack away before leaving at one for the station.
Camera batteries were charged, and memory cards cleared.
All ready.
We even got a parking space outside the station, so filled that, went inside to buy our tickets and then had half an hour to wait, so went to the buffet for coffee and chocolate.
The train, when it came was pretty empty, so we got seats with a table, and so watched through the large window as the countryside flashed by.
We dozed on the way up, so it seemed quick that we arrived at Stratford, where we detrained and got ready to cross down to Docklands.
The phone rang: it was the vet.
Scully has diabetes, and so needs treatment, but first an assessment on how serious the condition is.
Jools talks with them for ten minutes, with a stay planned, though not booked, so her urine can be tested for crystals.
We had 80 minutes, so I asked Jools if she wanted a drink: coffee or cider?
Coffee, no cider. So I take her to Tap East where I was considering the beers on taps, when I spotted the bottled beers in the cooler, and I cannot resist a Chimay Blue. So, we linger for twenty minutes as I supper the strong but delightful beer.
We walked through the glittering palace that is Westfield. Full of people and shiny things, though nothing really appealed to us. A monument to consumerism if leaves us cold.
Up the escalator, then over the wide footbridge to the regional station, where we went down to catch a Jubilee Line train to Canary Wharf.
We didn't squeeze on the train about to leave, instead getting a seat on the next train which would depart a mere three minutes later.
Not much to report on that trip, the train screeching once it went into tunnels beyond Canning Town, we got out at the deep Canary Wharf station, pausing to take a couple of shots.
We took the two flights of escalators up to the concourse, then stop to take obligatory shot of the entrance to street level where we were to meet friends.
We went to the square, and took seats looking back at the entrance to The Tube, and the buildings surrounding, towering over everything.
Our friends, Vicki and Justin, arrive, and after receiving a leaflet of the Winter Lights display we were ere to see, we make our way to the Elizabeth Lone station, taking in the sights on the way. Not that we were going anywhere on it, or yet as it turned out, just for the installations and architecture.
We walked though several foyers and atriums, across roads before coming to where the station was bult in a concrete box in a former dock. On top of it, a wooden arboretum bas built on top, with another mall with eateries and restaurants.
And leading to it is a tunnel-cum-bridge, all futuristic, and currently brightly painted as its housing an art installation.
We all took several shots on the way to the arboretum.

For the next Challenge: Anything that has been rendered obsolete but still being used everyday by people everywhere. This can include any subject that you can think of that has for the most part been replaced or updated for general use. A good example is audio CD's, typewriters, stationary, books. There are many more items you can include in this list. I look forward to seeing what you choose as your subject;
This calculator was bought in 1989 (discontinued 1990) and has been used in the shops i worked in and when I worked in an office because I was not good at spreadsheets, I would check it with the calculator to see if the formula was right!! still used on occasions when I forget that the phone or tablet does all that! I did notice they are still sold on ebay but this still works perfectly, although there is some dirt just below the screen that won't come off!

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I'm pretty sure I saw snowflakes out there today.
Not cool Mother Nature, not cool. I'm not ready for winter. Please keep fall around a while longer! Bright colours and warmer(ish) days.
I was stuck inside for most of the day, so I figured I'd better try to work photography into my day as best I can, and this was the best I came up with while on a ten minute break.
Turns out if you leave me alone in the office, spreadsheets just don't hold my attention for 9 hours straight... oops!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Beautiful Bee Butt Thursday!
This is a typical Irish Amm dark bee. my sort of bee!
There were still so many dandelions last weekend. Looking at the garden and fields around the house this evening I am struck with the realisation that only the late stragglers are left.
Sad to see them finish but at the same time it means the Summer is just about to come.
This will eventually go on my Honey bees on named flowers set
And will also go on the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

Stiff Little Fingers - Silver lining
"Well we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out"
...
"We'll take that ride
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there
We're on a road to nowhere"

A weekend away started at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough with a visit to their Autumn Steam Gala.

Yes, it's not always that easy to focus indoors with a 1950 rangefinder. Still, the outcome can be rather interesting.

Working from home certainly has its advantages. Like when your eyes start to cross from staring at the same spreadsheet for a good 4 hours and event planning, you can take a quick break and go for a run.
Race you.

* 1958 Jaguar XK – 150 O.T.S. *
Produced between 1958 and 1960 the XK-150 was Jaguar’s last sport car before the legendary XK-E.
It featured a 3.4 litre double overhead cam six-cylinder engine that produced 210 bhp @ 5500 rpm. It was the world’s first production car with four-wheel disk brakes.
This car has approximately 85,000 miles on it and was restored in 1994. The current owner has had the car over 20 years and regularly drives it on tours and to shows.

This ‘thing’ has been sitting on my computer for quite some time but in between purchasing FileMaker Pro (a professional database application), installing the application on two computers, spending hours and hours trying to learn its inexhaustible features and intricacies (much like Photoshop) only more daunting because it incorporates; spreadsheets, data algorisms, mathematical calculations and a multitude of other complicated, complex features that tend to tire my already tired cerebrum; downloading and installing updated operating systems on two of our computers, then having to update tons of out dated software to be compatible with these new OS’s, re-configuring my LAN network (among three computers); learning iMovie, then discovering that the new OS’s come preloaded with a very good scanning software resulting in saving my old Epson flatbed scanner which I first thought was a “goner” because its native scan software was incompatible with Mac Yosemite and El Capitan, reading two books (“A Time For Truth” by Ted Cruz and “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson), occasionally taking a bath (splish-splash) and even more “occasionally” saying “hello” and “goodbye” to my wife, answering tons of inane emails, taking out the trash (no, not referring to email trash) and, and, and…….well spending time writing this worthless, irrelevant narrative…….. and the point is? Yes, well, I forgot!
Anyway, hope you enjoy “life” my friends………..

Aaron and I have been hiking and then scrambling for a few years now. Every year we tend to get lighter and lighter gear. Today we both have excel spreadsheets with our complete gear list down to each and every gram. He has sucked me into this light-weight scheme and every once in a while he will e-mail me a list of things I need to buy to keep up with him.
On Tuesday Aaron had a show and tell time with Kristen and I, showing us the latest installments of his new lightweight gear. The new items only included: snowshoes, gloves, gaiters, poles, boots, stuff-sacks, balaclava, stove pot, down pants, down jacket, and more. So pretty much everything! He is now under 7 pounds for a summer overnight bag. Impressive I must admit, especially considering he would be closer to 6 pounds if it wasn’t for my “ridiculously heavy camera bag and lens”, which is partially considered common gear…
While that is mentioned, is there anyone out there with any ideas or reviews/ pros and cons of lighter weight cameras that still allow you to take RAW files and do the rest of the manual settings?
I have had shared many adventures with Aaron and I am looking forward to many more. This shot is from our trip to Cathedral Park. Below are more shots of some of our explorations... Enjoy.
