gees it is so cold it’s oodie time

Just a pleasant reminder to everyone here don’t do the one chip challenge.

Don’t do it.

I’ve never done it, don’t plan on doing it and you shouldn’t either.

“Hey, don’t tell me what to do”. Well I am.

I think the thing I love most about steam trains is how much happiness they bring with them. The people on the train obviously tend to be fairly happy, but on top of that all the people lineside who waited half an hour to watch a train go past for 10 seconds are all happy too. Saw a bus driver in Ballarat who had pulled his bus over and stood in the doorway watching us go past. We also ended up in a race with a Frankston bound metro ok our way back and it was a constant cycle of them pulling ahead of us, then us overtaking them when they stopped. Most the usually depressed looking commuters had gigantic grins on their faces waving at us at we went past. Many old folks watched us fly by while (I presume) reminiscing about the days a steam train was not uncommon to see, as well as countless young’ns watching us go past too

Steam trains really are the best ^even if they do have a habit of starting bushfires ^

Back in melbs. I felt instantly sad. Despite tuning into my fave stations and patting the cat and getting that legendary 100kmh sign on Citylink.

That’s no good :(

Husband is baffled and jelly at the fact i went to bed four hours after he did last night, got up the same time as him this morning, did more strenuous work today for longer, and am planning on another six hours of totk while he tapped out for sleep at 9. Poor bubbah.
