Talking of ipad apps, Serato has finally released Serato DJ for the ipad and given full controller support

Bluesky has finally added ipad support to the app! I’m happy with this, but it’s way overdue

This weekend’s todo list is longer than my arm. Top of the list is the garden that’s currently rocking the jungle look

I feel like I’ve settled into my new job now. It’s keeping me busy with a variety of thing and looks like I’ll be adding more to what I do soon

Today I (unexpectedly) ended up on Veridian 3. My inner Trekkie hit hype overload at the discovery #startrek

Just found Tiësto’s set from EDC this year, that’s my journey to work sorted. Some the wide shots really blow me away with just how big EDC really is

I’ve settled in to my new job, it’s been a good week. Getting home early today was a bonus, so naturally I decided to mow the lawn. Going to peel myself off the sofa shortly and start dinner

I’ve been off social media for a while, have I missed much? Started a new job this week and spent the last 3 days in a classroom

I’ve just had an email from Xbox informing me that gamepass ultimate is going back down to £16.99 per month. Definitely a welcome move

this morning I asked Google Gemini whether ChatGPT or Gemini is better. The answer has surprised me as it’s actually pretty well balanced

I’m still here, just enjoying some much needed time off work. Spent today playing 9 ball pool which is always a good thing

I’ve not really been on social media for quite a while. I’m still around, just keeping busy.

#SuperBowl Sunday is one of my favourite days of the year. Cheering on my #patriots tonight

Tiësto’s return to trance has been excellent news. Been enjoying his new podcast on the way to work

Just woken up after the night shift, I could sleep all day.

As 2025 comes to an end and 2026 is beginning to dawn around the world, I hope it will be a fantastic year for you all. I’ll be seeing it in at work on the night shift. Happy New Year everyone

Away from home tonight visiting family, checked my 5G connection. I’m happy with this result 😂

I will never cease to enjoy the view from 39000ft. It’s just spectacular

Apple Music’s Automix feature is interesting. I was listening to music on the way to work and it kicked in and mixed from Hardwell - Take me away again into Tiësto -Adagio for strings using a combination of beat matching and hi/lo pass filters. It did a surprisingly good job. I’m impressed

Starting my first normal day at work after several days of signal issues. I’ve yet to find out what the cause was

I’ve just been using Apple Intelligence to summarise some emails in my inbox. I can see myself using this feature a lot more

Enjoying some of the simple pleasures of a Saturday afternoon. I have a cup of coffee from my moka pot, a couple of biscuits and reading on my iPad. I could get used to this

Day off today so I’m going to play snooker, probably badly

Here we go again 🤦‍♂️

After a 0330 alarm this morning, I went to work. Now I’m home and have the weekend off… result 🙂

I’m back home, feeling pretty good as I seem to have avoided the worst of jet lag, just a little tired today but nothing I can’t handle. It’s been really good to get away and have me time to really get some perspective that I needed

Sitting at the airport waiting for my flight home after a couple of relaxing days in near 40 degree weather. It’s been good

I’m impressed at how much in flight WiFi has improved in recent years. Currently at 38000 ft and happily browsing the web and posting here

Flying to Las Vegas tomorrow. Looking forward to a well earned break

How my day is starting…

First day back driving on my own today, it’s always a strange feeling when you transfer and go back into training. Being back on my own is always good, but on a new line / route there’s still an element of getting the feel for it. Every route I’ve ever driven has a different vibe

Completed my assessment successfully today so from tomorrow I’m back to driving trains on my own at my new location. Looking forward to it

Assessment day tomorrow. I’ve spent the last several weeks in training after changing work location, tomorrow is my final assessment before I’m back to working on my own again. I can’t wait to be back to normal shifts

I haven’t had anything delivered by parcel force for a long time until yesterday when they’ve delivered my parcel somewhere else but not told me where 😒

Just 2 more weeks in training before I’m back out on my own and driving from my new work location. I can’t wait tbh, training is great but there’s a point where you just want to get back to a routine

Another week in the classroom learning the internal systems of the trains I will be driving going forwards. While incredibly similar to the trains I was driving (they are a related rolling stock), there are some differences which are crucial to learn.

I’ve been poking around on chatGPT this afternoon and have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the answers it has been giving me. I like what I’ve seen so far

I’ve spent this week in a classroom covering signalling and the inner workings of the trains I will be driving. Next week is more classroom and defect handling before being assessed, then I get to do some proper driving again as I learn my new route. I’m just looking forward to completing training

This week has involved a lot of walking around depots and getting familiarised with the layouts. Today I’m in the simulator

I spent last week in Las Vegas, so I thought I’d post a picture from one of my visits to red rock canyon. Honestly Vegas is a wonderful place, just don’t spend all of your time on the strip

I went to my local Apple Store today and bought an AirPod cleaning kit for the princely sum of £12.95. Honestly I should have done this sooner, one of my pods was getting really quiet and I’d lost the punch of the sound across them both. I’d forgotten just how good they are, sounding like new again

On a different note, treating myself this morning

I’m getting seriously fed up of people making phone calls on speakerphone in places like coffee shops and shouting into their phone. Either hold the phone to your ear or use some earbuds

Just been outside cleaning up the barbecue after its’ winter hibernation. I’m glad that’s out of the way

As it was a nice day I decided to walk over to the Olympic park to have my lunch
