Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hello everybody - especially @jazzy . Nice to see you on here. Sorry about the demise of your table tennis playing days. Will you still be able to stay involved with your match reports and committee duties? I hope so,

Did you manage to go trainspotting @Gwladysover ? I do like trains. The house I grew up in in Liverpool ( we moved to my Dad's current house when I was 17) had the Liverpool - London line at the bottom of the garden. I can definitely remember steam trains going past and we used to love waving at the football specials. Well, only the blue ones!
I nearly died in the gym tonight. I wasn't sure whether to puke or cry. The PT had us pushing a sled loaded with ever increasing weights up and down a 15m track. Started at 20kg then increased in 10kg increments up to 60kg. Once we got to 60kg we carried on and worked our way down to 20 again. It was horrible. This was at the end of the session which had already involved various other types of torture. I'm off to bed in a minute, overtime in the morning. I might go to the Christmas market at Raby Castle on Sunday. I'm not a big fan of Christmas markets but Raby Castle is a lovely setting. I'll take some pics if I go.

Have a great weekend folks

I request photos of Christmas markets if at all possible.

I’m a big child and can’t get enough of it all.

Go easy on the PT instructor Ang , you will wear him/her out !

Yes I will stay involved with TT admin, if anything I will do more to compensate for not playing. It was actually suggested that I should apply to become CEO of Table Tennis England but whilst I reckon I could do as well as Denise , I really don't want a job!

Enjoy the Christmas Market. Cold and frosty here today and I'm on the gate for the Animals in Need Xmas Show tomorrow so I will need a few layers.

My mum backs onto the Allerton branch of the mainline to Manchester. A couple of years ago, a steam train (linked to a Class 37) came down the line.

A little search showed it was being shunted to Lime Street for a steam run up to Yorkshire. It was a pleasant and unexpected watch.

Our house was on the stretch between between West Allerton and Garston, as was, now South Parkway. Occasionally the embankment would catch fire - always a highlight as a kid when the fire brigade had to access the fire through yours or a mate's back garden.
 
Good afternoon all. It's quite sunny here but really cold. Did overtime this morning - it flew over, I must have been working hard! Not doing much this afternoon, will watch the footie later. I've also decided to do a roast dinner tonight because daughter is out tomorrow. I might try roasties in the air fryer - see how that goes.

Great pics @Gwladysover

Hope you all have a lovely day x

I see that Falmouth has been voted the 12th happiest place to live in the UK ( St Ives also in Cornwall 1st) , perhaps we should all move in with Fred , I believe his house is big enough!
