This is like paying an extortion fee! £215.55 from CrossCountry to go First Class from Weymouth to Oxford when I can buy a ticket for the same route from LNER for a much lower price!

Tragedy has struck, I fucked up my outro screen by means that the end cards overlap the text.
So I’ve had to alter the layout to make sure that the end cards fit in. But I won’t know until I have made a video using it.

As of today, I have been able to get my hands on my new iPhone. So hopefully, videos will be coming out better than before.
And additionally, it means that I’ll be able to use my old iPhone for train & bus details instead of using my iPad.

Overrunning engineering works have cancelled my train to Winchester and Micheldever.
Instead of trying to travel, I’ve accepted defeat and applied for a refund. Wish me luck.

I took a walk around Weymouth Cemetery today not so much as to pay respects to the dead but to seek out this old Cold War Air-Raid Siren.
I can’t believe how it’s still there today. I would have believed that it was removed years ago.
