So I'm going to do something called a 'stream' today...ever heard of them?

It's about time I came back, & in the most appropriate way possible - with a Tea 'n' Trains stream, on the brand new Train Sim World 6 Birmingham-Crewe route!

www.twitch.tv/heyitsajomega - 2pm UK time, see you there <3

Went to a lovely little model railway show in Forest Hill yesterday, and I'm now spending this morning snuggled up with a cuppa tea and one of the books I got at the show.

Happy Sunday 💖☕️

So, I've been awake since 3am, I've walked nearly 8 miles today, and now I'm knackered and my feet are killing me. And my leg hurts where I tripped on an escalator and grazed it on the way home.

Worth it for a day full of trains big *and* small?

Yeah, I'd say so. 🥰

Also, fun fact; that wizard game in 5th place on the list? Actually pretty rubbish.

Only thing it gave the world was the 'PS1 Hagrid' meme. So that's something. 😅
September 20, 2025 at 9:28 AM
How many of the top 20 best selling PS1 games have you played?

In my case, less than I expected. But given I'm not into horror or Final Fantasy, & those are about half the list? Less of a surprise.

Gran Turismo & Crash Bandicoot though? My besties. 💖

Hot tea, a comfy sofa, and an entire day of Women's Rugby World Cup on the telly.

Bliss.

I've never been very good at giving myself permission to rest & recover from burnout, but it feels like I've got a bit better at it recently. And not a shred of guilt at all.

Yesterday, for one day only, I became...a bus nerd. 🚌

Swanley Bus Garage hosted an open day to celebrate their 100 year anniversary, & ran vintage shuttle buses to a classic bus & car show in nearby West Kingsdown.

What a lovely, peaceful way to spend a Saturday afternoon 🥰

After a super intense few weeks, on Sunday burnout hit - & I crashed out *hard*.

Normally when I burn out, I try & keep crawling on, & just make myself feel 10x worse.

Today though, I've been on the sofa all day with my blankie, snoozing & playing my original comfort game. Properly resting. 💜

My favourite Doctor and companion.

I'll leave it up to you who is which. 😅

Then on Friday, it was the big day - #TheGreatestGathering day 1!

Originally the only day I was going to do, & despite an ominous looking queue, I got in smoothly - & was immediately greeted by a trio of Class 50s.

Kinda figured I was in for an amazing day after that...& spoiler alert, it was <3

And as a bonus, once the railtour got to Derby Litchurch Lane works, we were afforded a bonus sneak peak around the #TheGreatestGathering site the day before everyone else got let in - as well as a ride on the works test track on an Elizabeth Line train! 👀

Well, I promised #TheGreatestGathering posting this week, so let's start *before* the beginning!

The day before TGG opened to the public, the Branch Line Society ran a special railtour ft. 57307 'Lady Penelope' hauling 390119 'Progress' from Crewe to Derby for the event 🚀

How was it? FAB, m'lady!

I'm exhausted. Everything hurts. My feet are in agony.

I've walked over 30 miles over the last four days. I've spent way more money than I was expecting to.

Was it all worth it? Oh you bet it was.

The Greatest Gathering has definitely been one of my greatest adventures. 🥰
August 4, 2025 at 9:42 AM
Update...yeah, we're back out here. 🥰
August 2, 2025 at 12:15 PM
Happy Greatest Gathering day!

Not pictured - the queue I've joined to get in, which legit might be about eleventy billion miles long. I don't think Taylor Swift got queues like this.

...I'm exaggerating slightly. But only slightly. 😅

Then again, the more I grumble, the faster it moves! Chop chop!
August 1, 2025 at 10:23 AM
Merry Greatest Gathering (TM) eve!

Why take the conventional route to such a huge event, when you can arrive in style on a Branch Line Society railtour, aboard the Progress Train Pendolino, hauled by a Thunderbird?

And yes, I have been humming the theme song over and over this entire trip. 😅

Don't you just hate it when you pop up the shops in the evening for some random bits, find a Hot Wheels car you've been after for a while, and then another one just so happens to fall into your bag, *entirely* by accident?

Hate it when that happens...

Of course it was only ever going to end like this, wasn't it? In the most stressful & dramatic way possible.

This team took the most winding & gruelling road possible back to the top of the mountain.

They never faltered. They never flinched. & they never, ever, gave up.

Legends. So proud 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

New keeb day is an exciting one. 😁

Or rather...
July 19, 2025 at 7:42 PM
My absolute favourite kind of racecars 💖

Another fave from the Aurum 1006km - this Lada 2104 estate, powered by a FORD MUSTANG V8. HELL YES.

Update: survived the IKEA trip. Made it home and crashed out for about 3 hours from the heat.

Most important, this is the forecast for tomorrow - almost ten degrees cooler than today. It's gonna feel positively arctic.

Bring it on. 💪☀️
July 1, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Update: I'm headed for IKEA.

My main worry was about the journey to & from the store by bus being horrendously sweaty. Thankfully, the second bus I'm on has this blissful vent of cooling air right next to my seat.

This is now my favourite bus ever. No further questions.

Not quite sure what's more strange - the fact I'm watching any kind of wrestling at all for the first time in about five years, or the fact that I'm watching wrestling on the telly on a Saturday morning for the first time since I was about eight years old.

Can't lie, I've missed it.
