So Nothing From Any Of The London Terminals Was Able To Move South For Several Hours.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/ive-finally-been-to-see-my-mothers.html Which kind of sounds like the sort of thing which should've, at least, troubled a news ticker. Even if it went with the default; "Trespasser on the Network." I arrived before the Incident Commander. At the point the crowd of Police/Fire/Ambulance/Railway first responders were trying to figure out what to tell the Incident Commander when their blue lights brought them to the scene. The gossip amongst all of the passengers being evacuated covered a great many theories. Putting aside the standard suicide attempt and graffiti artists some of the more scandalous included Palestine Action and a coordinated protest by general Climate Change groups. Conducting a series of protests in and around Gatwick Airport. Having got so close to see it unfurl, amongst the first responders, though I certainly didn't see any banner or slogan. Although the whole experience does seem to have nudged me ...

Probably Not The Best Choice Of Camera Mount.

But, yeah. Same company involved in the White Liquor thing. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/you-have-to-assume-thats-similar-to.html Obviously I won't be involved in the inquiries which now seem inevitable. However I always understood that a country familiar with the way of the gods was able to engineer through; "A bit weird."  I saw it flash up on the news as I was having breakfast and sort of immediately dismissed thinking; "Normally a 7 is a bit big. However in Japan it just mean the trains will stop for a few minutes and the Gas & Electric will cut out momentarily." "Not because anything is broken. It's just what their systems are designed to do to stop things from breaking."

Yeah, I Get That Now.

I've Finally Been To See My Mothers.

For the first time since Trump & Hegseth bombed Iran. To stop Iran from having Nuclear weapons. This meant I also got to meet the new puppy! It turns out that agreeing to train a service dog is very, very different from getting a new pet. Detailing all the ways in which this very much isn't my Mothers' puppy is something I would have liked to do this afternoon. Believe it or not there are Image Rights and a Social Media policy to consider. However the Boss Cat of the house woke me up at dawn today. To remind me that I wanted to go Horse riding. On a Horse that really needs the exercise. When I finished I got on a train to go home. Never in the history of rail travel has a train gone from Salisbury to Waterloo without stopping at Clapham Junction. Just in case I was suddenly, somehow unable to read departure boards on a route I'm very used to an overly helpful/bored staff member stopped me to direct me to the correct train. The train was full but not overly full. The air...
