Question for those with cats.

Would you have your cat(s) chasing the dot on the floor, from a laser pointer.

Latest advert seen has two cats chasing the red dots, until one battery runs outs.

Locally, they were given an extension to run until March 2022*. There's about half a dozen left round these parts.

*They're being shipped to Scotland, for use up there.
You've got to feel sorry for Scottish rail users - your old Pacers and they've been shafted with the single carriage class 153s that used to trundle round here were heading up there.

Just a brief roundup of Thursday:

Woke up way too early.
Grey, cold & damp.
Rode 65 miles to Norwich
Got train back to Ipswich, local passenger service cancelled* due to gas leak near the line so had to ride the 13 miles home.
Half way through my second bottle of Adnams muscle relaxant.

* Freight service still running, so somebody knows where the profits are!

If anything went wrong when a passenger service went past, they might end up with a bigger claim than for a freight service.

We've still got the 153's.
Not merely a Sprinter, but a Super Sprinter!

Named one for Michael Palin, can't think of a better tribute for a railfan. One named for Benjamin Britten as well, but not Peter Pears.
