I travel a great deal, but mainly commute to work on the 05.17 from Bremen each week day.

I read heavy books, collect old photographs, and write long letters. My working clothes are kilts, but I do own one pair of jeans.

This is a small, occasional record of those travels by train and bus, of books read and letters written, and sometimes the events in between. Posts are automatically deleted after three months.

Don't expect any deep philosophical content here!

And so the 05.27 to Achim wins, and the 05.17 seems to be lost somewhere in the system. Not yet cancelled, moved, or reported as delayed.

Some people seem to still be on their day off.

Cooking done for this afternoon's main meal. I've never even tried to even imagine a vegetarian cottage pie, but it seems, on first tasting, to work reasonably well.

The proof will be in the tasting by others.

Just waiting for an announcement which tells me the train, which us not at the platform, is at the platform.

Timing: the announcement came just before I finished typing, and the train is, indeed, not here.

Oh joy. The 05.17 tomorrow has already been cancelled, due to a sudden shortage of staff.

Good thing the 05.45 is back on the timetable.

One thing the members of the US Supreme Court should bear in mind, in their senseless considerstions: if the President of the USA has immunity, there is nothing to stop this President from "replacing" them. With their own blessings.

After an excellent sold-out theatre performance in Bremerhaven-Lehe last night, I was back home at 02.00 this morning and, as my body clock has total control of my waking life, awake, if not up, at 05.00. A theoretical lie-in of an hour.

Sunday is laundry, paperwork, relaxation, all of which are now well and truly underway.

Giving you a run for your money on the train today @FiveSeventeen - 16 min delay for the London train from Newport 😡
No platform changes though.

FiveSeventeen,
@FiveSeventeen@bahn.social avatar

@fkamiah17 take you a while to catch my 68 minutes, two platform changes and train cancelation after six stops.

Yesterday I saw a fellow Mastodon mentioning they were caught up with 210 minutes. Something we can all aspire to.

Not my court case, but: the defendant claimed they had dropped something in the well of their car, leaned over to pick it up and, in doing so, their arm pushed the button which changes the speedometer from kilometers to miles. That's why they were driving so fast.

The car is an American version Mercedes S Class. The defendant is a lawyer.

Mmmkay.

Fuck sake. Kate's one is for "contributions to the arts and sciences" 🤷‍♀️

@fkamiah17 that'll be for her work in photography, probably.

And the travel fun starts again. First report is that the 05.17 is running 20 minutes late. We'll probably have the platform change in 15 minutes, and the cancelation in 25.

Prove me wrong, DB!

I'm not one of those short memory people who will laud and praise Speaker Johnson. He blocked aid to Ukraine for six months. He's no hero.

Trying to decide which book to read next: English or German, Fact or Fiction? My selection of fictional works is rather limited, and the last two or three titles I read were in German, so we'll go with "The Book at War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict" by Andrew Pettegree.

    If anyone is wondering, in the city where I work, why their UPS parcel has been delayed: the driver spent time talking to me, trying to think of a way to retain their driving license.

    They'd be better off keeping their foot off the gas pedal, and planning a month's holiday pretty soon.

    Four and a half hours at work, and just about to reach one hundred speeding tickets. Not that anyone cares about speed limits (clearly!) or this Kindergarten.

    Until they get a ticket, that is.

    Having just dented - with slight loss of blood - my forehead on the corner of a shoe carton while throwing out waste in the kitchen, I commiserate wholeheartedly.

    Considering asparagus for dinner tonight, with new potatoes, sprouts and hollandaise sauce.

    Sounds like a plan....
