In what is becoming a bit of a household tradition. I have literally the BBQ on the balcony. Time for some lunch.

Finally found the energy to start cooking breakfast. A simple bacon baguette to start the day.

"Yes" checks ride logs "5 times"
"What's it like?"
"No idea, I never stopped, I'm not mad"

Made it home in one piece. Worst part was the metro the last leg of the journey. Loud drunk people. One person had two empty cans in one hand and was working on the 3rd beer. It wasn't even 11am...

You severely underestimate how much I run on SPITE.

"we'll run longer trains for the bigger crowds"
"Excellent, and adjust the timetables to give the crowds enough time to get on at the station?"
"I'm sorry I don't understand"

"Due to increased demand, station Rai is closed today"

Sigh

NS have a special timetable just for today. Running longer trains, and in some cases more trains. Alas it looks like they haven't taken into account dwell times at the stations, and so a lot of trains are running with a few mins of delay...

Reminder, the courts have ruled that we can call Tory Scum Tory Scum. That is not offensive, it's accurate. And legal.

Thank you for everyone for yesterday's linguistic replies... Alas my referencing the fact it seems to always be a headwind cycling here was lost on most people :(

As usual with my language jokes, and seeing if any landed. No pun in ten did...

Am very glad that NS are running a 10 car (4+6) VIRM on this service.

Made it to the station, only getting lost once. Not too busy in Venendaal at this time of the morning. Now on a train home. Managed to get both a seat, and space for my bike.

Just hoping it doesn't get too busy between here and mh destination.

Today's idle thought. Does Dutch even have a word for tailwind?

Brompton in touring mode. Heading to the start of Race Around The Netherlands #ratn #ratn2024 to check bikes and interview riders for Dotwatcher.cc

Ooh. A new type of moron train passenger. Stands in the middle of the open doorway looking out, but doesn't get off, yet stops people getting on.

Feels wrong to throw away a perfectly functional axe and leave myself unarmed...

At a team building event with a group of Pentesters. We have to put names into the scoring system. It's a selection of different injections, and cross site scripting attacks...

That thing where you're holding a cat and suddenly the cat loses structural integrity and becomes a vaguely cat-shaped floppy bag of relaxation and purrs. It's pretty good.

Railgeeks of Europe. What's the most picturesque and interesting way to get from Basel to Barcelona? Happy to do it over maybe 5 days.
