It annoys me that I like some U2 songs.

I've gone in early for the annual Happy Valley rewatch. Sometimes you find yourself in a place where only a brutal drama can sort you out and nothing else comes close.

A late entry but there was only ever one #SuperbOwl for me, and that's the one I drew with the White Rose of Yorkshire for Leeds Neville Hill depot, and which was cast and mounted to the side of Class 91 locomotive 91127 "Neville Hill". Suberb. Owl.
Close up of a cast metal nameplate, depicting a stylised owl and rose. The design is in relief with the background painted blue.

Not Capgemini there, my old employer, popping up their logo as the timing sponsor of the Six Nations and distracting me from a pitch load of burly men in snug shorts. I'm doing this all wrong.

Going in on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for a rainy Saturday afternoon film. You don't need to tell me that it's just a remake, despite Steve Martin and Michael Caine pairing brilliantly it always feels overlooked - and those late 1980s French Riviera vibes are just 👌
A street scene with a white building labeled "BAR RESTAURANT" and "RESTAURANT Le Calypso." A man in a white suit walks on the road, and a woman in a white outfit jogs past. A child rides a bicycle nearby. Trees line the street, and a car is parked on the side. In the background, there is a body of water and mountains. Unknown objects on the building's balcony could be statues or decorations. A white Ferrari convertible with a tan interior drives down a street lined with palm trees and a stone wall. A man in a striped shirt sits on the stone wall, watching the car. A woman in a red dress walks on the sidewalk, and a man in a yellow shirt rides a bicycle on the road. A white building with blue and white awnings is on the left. The license plate reads "AB 23 893." A group of people in formal attire standing next to a vintage car in front of a hotel entrance. The hotel entrance has large arches and potted plants. The sign above the entrance reads "Hotel." The car is a classic model Rolls Royce with round headlights. The scene is set at night. A passenger train with a white and orange front emerges from a stone tunnel onto a platform at night. The train has a sign reading "SNCF" and the number "8613" on its front. A woman in a pink dress stands on the platform near the train, and a digital sign above her displays "1" and "14." The platform is lit by overhead lights, and there is a stone wall with greenery above the tunnel entrance. The scene conveys a sense of travel and movement.

It's a bit weird taking a photo of a stranger's dog, but I'm heartbroken to have to report that I had to leave this best good boy at the coffee shop this morning as he wasn't mine x

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️

A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm.

Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887.

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes it glow in places. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2 It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue ‘’Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished”. In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was ‘Słupcio’,

I'm sure that the York Dungeon is a lot of fun, but as a graphic designer they'll forever sit low in my estimations for using stars as a decorative device in their branding whilst casually allowing you to believe it's received wall-to-wall five star reviews.
Two movie posters in a window. The posters depict a person's hand holding a knife and a person's hand holding a gun. Both posters have five white stars and red text that reads "CHILLING!" and "JAW-DROPPING!" respectively. The posters are on a brick wall with a wooden frame. Two movie posters in a window. The poster on the left shows a person in a red coat holding a knife next to a black circle. The poster on the right shows a person in a dark coat holding a gun. Both posters have five white stars and the words "FEARSOME!" and "EXPLOSIVE!" in red text below the stars. The window is in a brick wall with a green mossy ledge.

I've setup a new Starter Pack: Transport Writers of Bluesky.

It's looking a bit sparse at the moment, so please suggest your favourite transport journalists, writers and creators to be added, or drop me a DM if you'd like me to add you to the pack 👇

It's two years today since I lost my partner, Simon. Through support from family and friends I've learned to be at peace with his passing, but there was some strange and small comfort in it being so recent that fades with each year. The world keeps turning and you have to try to keep moving with it.

From the architect's renders on display at Darlington station its new concourse will be a great place to sit and look at men's bums.
A modern building interior with a high ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the space. People are scattered throughout, some seated on black chairs and others walking. A prominent circular light fixture hangs from the ceiling. On the right, a sign reads "RETAIL SPACE." The floor is tiled, and the overall atmosphere is bright and open. Two men sitting in railway station. One man is smiling and looking at the other man. The other man is looking at his phone. There is a woman standing next to them holding a red and white bag. The floor is tiled and the chairs are black and blue. There is a person sitting in the background wearing a brown suit.

Early morning meeting at @railwaymuseum.bsky.social yesterday meant being able to spy these slumbering workhorses, just as the sun was starting to filter into the Great Hall 👌
Three trains in a museum exhibit. The train on the right is yellow and blue with the number 84 001 on its side. The train in the middle is blue and yellow. The train on the left is grey and yellow with the number 3305 on its side. A sign with the text "Young Railway Photographer of the Year" hangs above the trains. A concrete pillar is behind the trains. The floor is shiny.

✂️ Yesterday I finally responded to @agakowalska.bsky.social’s challenge to make a collage from a single piece of packaging. I present to you a green (tea) woodpecker, made from a big Yorkshire Tea box. It was fun and I’ll be rooting through our recycling bin for more materials later on ♻️

Feeling conflicted at the thought of finally needing to use my PlayStation 2 network adapter since it's been sealed in its packaging for the last 25 years. If I hadn't developed a yearning to play SSX this weekend then it might as well have been in there forever.
A Sony PlayStation 2 network adapter in its original packaging. The adapter is black with two screws and a white cable. The packaging is yellow with blue text and a PlayStation logo. There is a sticker on the adapter with text and symbols. The background is a wooden desk with a computer monitor and keyboard.

This is, without doubt, what will eventually drive me from iOS to Android. FUCK OFF WITH THIS FUCKING NEEDY SHIT ALL THE FUCKING TIME JUST GIVE ME A BASIC DO NOT DISTURB BUTTON IS IT REALLY THAT FUCKING HARD
Screenshot of a pop-up window with a white background and rounded corners. The pop-up has a black icon of a person on the left and black text that reads "Work Focus Suggestion Use Smart Activation to turn on Work Focus automatically based on signals like your location, app usage and others." Below the text are two buttons, one gray labeled "Don't Enable" and one yellow labeled "Enable." The top right corner of the pop-up has the word "now" in black text.

You bitch.
A screenshot of a fitness app trend summary. The title "Trends" is in black text at the top left. Below is a card with a purple icon of a person walking and the word "Weight" in purple text. The card reads, "During the last 6 days, your average weight was higher." Below this text is a line graph with a gray line representing a 22-day average and a purple line for a 6-day average. The 6-day average line is higher than the 22-day average line towards the end of the graph. At the bottom right, "6-day avg" is written in purple text. The background is light gray.

Boxing Day walk along the Shropshire Union Canal (but not that bit) and across Telford's 70ft tall aqueduct over the River Ceiriog at Chirk. The parallel viaduct came with the railways almost 50 years later. Lovely day to feel less guilty about everything I managed to shovel away yesterday.
A canal stretching into the distance with a paved towpath to the right. To the left a separate viaduct stands taller than the canal. In the distance are trees and a clear sky. Looking directly towards stone arches of a viaduct with fields visible beyond. A brick and stone bridge spanning a canal, with towpath running to the left and trees on all sides. A narrow country lane with high hedges on both sides.
