There were twenty that received internal refurbishment at Neville Hill, just outside Leeds, two years ago. To extend their life to 2024. Forty two years working life.

Pretty fine for something originally slated to last just a few years.

The newer rolling stock has problems with some stations. Not all are recognised, so they refuse to stop. Drivers can't override the computer.

I think I'm going to turn in early tonight. I've felt rather below par all day. Maybe a good night's sleep might help.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Good planning !

Morning.
The person who designed one set of our Christmas lights must have been a sadist . When the lights are switched on the lights go immediately into flashing mode ! Argh!
I have to try to press the button find the static position which seems to be the last mode .

Yesterday I was playing with my model again, using up a lot of masking tape. Raising the black section up to the waterline revealed discrepancies in the blue dazzle sections which needed extending .
I also stripped down an old small scrap hand held vacuum cleaner for the electric motor. I think it should be suitable to power the boat as it's voltage range goes from 1.5 volts to 10.8 .

First tea of the day finished.
The lights have just come on in the aquarium so fishes are milling around the feeding hole 🐠

That was interesting! I was listening to professor Whathisname talking about the new vaccine and about the people who have had a reaction to the injection. He was saying that new drugs are tested rigourously these days and that a commonly taken pain relief tablet , Aspirin wouldn't be allowed !

And paracetemol overdoses are not a nice way to die !

On a slightly more cheery note, good morning from the shedoffice. We have an 'Away Day' today. Where we'd normally go 'somewhere' for an all day meeting (usually a room in a hotel with lunch and cake) we're sat in front of our screens all day in a meeting this year. Any to extend the 'pain' we have a few on-line festivities to partake in after - might have to use my lunch break to procure some alcohol.

Our Yorkie's body clock must be a little off today. He's trying to tell me it's lunchtime. He's 9 minutes early.

Just popped an order in for three bottles of 'local' small batch gin - from Stockport Gin whose distillery is in the little village of Compstall. Part of MrsF's Christmas present.

If I want to remove the limescale at the bottom of the (inside) the kettle, what do I dilute white vinegar with? I know I could look this up on oggle, but do not want to trawl through loads of gubbins to get the right details.
