After a nice soak in the bath I’m back on the sofa and have been joined by George once again. So lucky to have such a cuddly bear 😻 #catsofbluesky

Got this weeks long slow run in this morning. Found it quiet tough mentally but managed to get it done 🏃‍➡️👍

Just me and George today as Sara is on her way to Leeds for a meeting. Will go for a nice long run and have some cuddles with George before heading up to Stratford to meet Sara for dinner on her way home 😊

Good morning Blue Sky, hope your week is going well and you are feeling fresh today. Hope you have a great Thursday whatever you are up to 😊

Nice little run this afternoon but probably got the timing wrong as I was slaloming around school kids for most of it 😂

George had to make do with my spot on the sofa this morning as I was busy being out and about and building a bed (which he’ll no doubt commandeer when it has a duvet on). He’s been very patient and has now got the cuddle he wanted 😻 #catsofbluesky

I’m glad that’s over, has been a grim slippery day. Just pass home now and then I’m off until Friday.
November 11, 2025 at 9:13 PM
After a smooth but slightly slippery run up to London, the last leg today is 1A94 to Harwich International with 720508 leading again.
November 11, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Break over and 720531 and 508 are waiting for me in Platform 4 at Colchester to work 1Y51 to London
November 11, 2025 at 6:04 PM
With 720508 now leading 521 we’ll be working 1Y24 to Ipswich. I’ll be relieved at Colchester for my break and a colleague will take the units to Ipswich and back and I’ll pick them back up when they get back 👍
November 11, 2025 at 3:54 PM
I’ve got 720521 and 720508 for today’s shift. First up is 521 leading 3Y24 to Liverpool Street from Orient Way

Slept better last night but still not quite enough sleep for my liking. Woke up a lot less than I have been the last couple of weeks. Hopefully some decent bed times in the next 3 days will set me up for the last week or so before our holiday 😊

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Having a day off from exercise today as my body needs a rest and I have a little ache in my right leg. Will still go for a walk with Sara before work though. George should get plenty of lap time too 😊
November 11, 2025 at 8:31 AM
Day 2/2 at work, 12:55 to 22:09. Pass to Orient Way then empty to London and in service to Colchester for a break. Second half is London again, Harwich International and then pass home. Nice job and a decent bedtime too 👍

Good morning Blue Sky. Hope your Monday went well and you are feeling good today. Hope you have a lovely Tuesday whatever you are up to 😊
