Hi, everybody. Well, it's a normal (if you can call it that) Sunday here at chateau BATS. I'd stayed up till 2am watching videos of old steam trains  on youtube, so I didn't get up till 10, when I opened my eyes and saw my new little royal looking out of his viv, watching the cats. After a shaky start owing to shedding, he's eating well now. His feeding day tomorrow, hope he strikes like he did last time.
Got up. Fed cats, fed fish (2 aquariums and pond), made strong muddy coffee (specialite de maison), took mice out to defrost for corns' feeding day, sat down with laptop on doorstep and flexed my brain with a few silly jokes for this forum ....
Now I'm back on the doorstep, looking out on to the jungle in my tiny backyard and hoping the dahlias don't eat me and having a liquid lunch. Well, can't smoke my pipe till I've fed snakeys because of nicotine risk. Can't have too much liquid either - don't want to be drunk in charge of a mouse!
What are you guys doing? |

That's cool! She was still under steam. And to have done all those other journeys as well ... I AM envious ...
They were such fabulous things, steam trains, their engineering was so good they'd still have been running today, and beautiful to look at too ... ah well ... be back to the videos tonight ... |

Na i didn't :( it was on one of the excursions to scarborough from york, we got off at york for a turn around and water change he was like wanna come on, quickly jumped and blew the whistle :D my memory of trains was at my nans and in the loft we had a model layout which i went on everyday i went there, my first steam engine ride was on the colne valley and i loved it even though the track is less than a mile.
i then started making a folder of trains i been on from romney hythe and dymchurch to trains that run in germany :) i was looking through it the other day and i have pretty much almost done every steam preserved line in england :) :D and same dr beeching is not in my good books either |

Hi, good morning, if I hadn't dragged myself out of my armchair last night I'd've still been in it this morning, with the trains ...
Flying Scotsman? Do you mean while she was running? I AM envious! I went to see Mallard when she came to a sidings a couple of miles down the road in 1981 - that was incredible, seeing and hearing her coming towards me in the evening sun ... much better than in York Railway Museum.
One of my earliest memories is living next to a railway line in the mid 1950s - steam trains morning and night past my bedroom window. It would've been the East Coast line - we used to walk down the lane to the village station to catch a train to Scarborough ... Dr Beeching is NOT my favourite person ... |

I once lost a loach that way - gorgeous big male, he either jumped out of a bucket in the kitchen when I was doing a water change/tank move in living room, or got out of gap at the back of tank lid... I looked everywhere for him, found him under rug near front door a month later ...know it wasn't a cat - they've never fished and I'd have noticed a cat walking round wet up to armpit ...Still beat myself up about it ... RIP Loach |
