3/3 The next train was the 19:51 GWR to Cardiff, a three carriage local train A delay at Taunton meant arrival at Nalsea & Backwell at 21:16, 1 minutes later than planned and 30 minutes later than I would have got in on the 19:35 Bonus, it was cooler for the walk home but it was a very long day
I was sitting in a railway station With a ticket for my destination When we left 35 minutes late I sense a delay-repay claim coming on
On 22 April we were on the "we'll be building in this area in the next year" list Today we are on the "we have no plans to build full fibre to this property yet" Thank you #Openreach
Great day out at Westonzoyland Pumping Station "Steam on the Levels" event. Good to see both @racheljs.bsky.social and @bigbernie.bsky.social as well as #RadioHams associated with the #MendipRepeaterGroup and #TauntonAmateurRadioClub
Just updated the #SouthBristolMassive travel plans to Westonzoyland steam festival to accommodate a small diversion en-route
Oops! I might have been convinced to have a swift drink with a colleague
Plan B: When you're "wheels up" we'll be at the 1st waypoint fuelling no. 1 son for his gruelling day in retail. It's something of a blackspot for handheld coverage; it may be best to use BC on your first leg? Once we've RV'd then either simplex convoy freq on 433.525 or WR when south of Clevedon.
The #SouthBristolMassive of @racheljs.bsky.social, @nightqueen.co.uk, @bigbernie.bsky.social and myself plus, hopefully, a friend or two are heading to the "STEAM ON THE LEVELS" event at #WestonzoylandPumpingStation on 17 May 2026 www.wzlet.org/steamonthele...
Wow, @rfcider.eurosky.social that is definitely a well worn OSBM. Should we try to instigate #TrigpointTuesday? Here's Coniston Old Man
It was lovely to see you and @bigbernie.bsky.social over the weekend, here's a few more pictures from the same event...

Lucky, we've been on the "we're building in this area in the next year" status for a while now, feels like longer than a year since I first saw this but maybe not, or maybe a year is different on Openreach's calendars
That's interesting I took these pictures in the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford Forum Obviously, it isn't a real horse!
I don't use heating oil but according to the web in the UK it's about $6.60/US Gallon based on today's exchange rate However the trend shows it's practically doubled in the last month
Your friendly local RSGB Volunteer Regional Team are busy at the Exeter Radio Rally in Kenford, if you're in the area drop by and say hello @m1acb.bsky.social
Here's a quick shout out for @kingnerd1963.bsky.social
Ummm..... Yes, on balance I think we do consider this to be a tad adventurous and logistically challenging, yes "challenging" is very descriptive in this context. This, on the other hand, would be quite a talking point hanging from the ceiling in the louge. It's that or the full size rocket
Still work to do mastering SDR++ ClockworkPi uConsole www.clockworkpi.com Hacker Gadgets AIO hackergadgets.com Thanks to AK Rex (linktr.ee/ak_rex) for his work on a Debian Trixie image incl SDR++ and the uConsole/AIO modules/config @bigbernie.bsky.social @kingnerd1963.bsky.social

You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.
I am sitting in a Railway station Got a ticket for my destination... Homeward bound...
I am sitting in a Railway Station, Got a ticket for my destination... Let's hope this journey is better than the last time I used this route. 10/10 to our Business Support Team for split ticketing to reduce cost but minus several thousand for only reserving a seat for the 1st part of the journey.
