The #RiverDerwent is pretty low already. #Drought summer incoming.
I had knee surgery Sept 2024. This walkway was closed. It's now nearly May 2025. This walkway is still closed. #Derby authorities clearly don't like to rush. #Sortitout
Today's #squirrel visit
The perfect fridge magnet for me #squirrel
A long overdue foray into the #PeakDistrict and #MatlockBath today
Happy Anniversary to me and the NHS. 22 years today. #NHS
In just two weeks Trump has done more to destroy America than all the terrorists combined since the beginning of time.

What a bunch of thugs. This is going to be a shit show.
So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”.
They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security…
for ANYTHING…
A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.
Nothing is more American than banning TikTok before AR-15s
Nazir Afzal, "When Keir Starmer and I left the CPS we had the highest rate of child sexual abuse prosecutions in our history.. That is Keir Starmer's legacy"

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.
Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA
Actually managed to capture a #Robin before it flew off!
“I’m prepared to call out this for what it is. We’ve seen this playbook many times…when the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others than in my book a line has been crossed”

110mph 87034 and 87101 stand in the middle road at Euston. 85040 on the end, all 3 waiting their next turns. Summer of 87 when I was based there. Superb time to be working on the WCML.
Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

Someone's lost their breakfast this morning #Squirrel
