  Voted for someone today and less than an hour later he was at my front door. Now that’s service.

  Tuesday saw me qualify to highlight the last of my rail atlas for Cornwall. Ollie and I went there years ago, maybe 2012, but missed the Looe branch. I was not prepared for how beautiful the Looe branch is, not to mention the lovely towns of East and West Looe. Did OK in the chazzers there.

  Saw a guy today touch his bare hand on the Oyster reader before tailgating someone (this was at the wide gate). Cheeky fucker.

  GTR have made a railway safety film with Diane Morgan. I think they could have let the superb Ms Morgan have a bit more fun with it but delighted to see the top YouTube comment is this. #PhilomenaCunk

  Jesus the ads on ITV4 are depressing. Abused animals. Funeral plans. And gambling.

  Going through my wardrobe, I put on an old pair of jeans I’d not worn for ages and went out. I now discover a hole in the crotch / gusset. Luckily I remembered my underpants.

  Today’s bus isn’t tracking but it’s dead on time. I’ll take that.

  Ah, The Brutalist, a nice film about an archi… good lord.

  Blinkin’ First Essex are showing a bus on the tracker that’s not in service. Bit of a shit show when I’ve been standing at this stop for 40 minutes with no service.

  My heat pump cost about £44 per week (based on 24p per unit) this month for the central heating, but I’m in a big house with poor double glazing.

  It’s the heat pump challenge. #HeatPump
