Introvert Bingo 😂

This is the most splendid video of the day I spent aboard "Nessie", filmed by the chap who invited me along. Do give it a watch 😀

Just been sent this link to a 5-part audio drama starring Christopher Eccleston & Joyce Branagh, all about life on the working barges of the Rochdale Canal between 1840-1922. Should be interesting! Created by Bamalam Productions audioboom.com/posts/8564866-…

I have taken delivery of fibreglassing supplies in anticipation of one day doing some work on Twiggy. The tin of resin is giving off the faintest whiff and oooooohhhhhh it is so lovely (really). Love that smell. They should make an aftershave version.

Today the Government has responded to the OEP’s Water Framework Directive report, acknowledging the need for greater action & investment to improve river health. While we welcome this, there's still much to do. Read our full statement by Mark Lloyd, CEO of The Rivers Trust 👇

Just brilliant, P&O Cruises. I send a reply to your customer services using the reply-to address (and which I have previously replied to) and this is the response! How am I supposed to have an ongoing dialogue if I have to start afresh with your web form each time?! 🙄😖

That feeling when you catch sight of a tired old man reflected in the window of the train, and realise it's you 😳😔

Alarmingly close to the truth 🤣 Apart from the "looking cool" bit

Hands up who knows where I was this morning? Clue: Nick Burnham would know 😉

Back from a week in Norway on quite a big boat 😀 Great holiday, can recommend.

We’ve heard that today’s #TiptonCanalFestival has been cancelled because of concerns about the weather and safety around the site. Hugely disappointing for Kev Maslin and the organisers, but totally understandable. Same time next year then?
