That allowed me to transfer on to the main attraction for the day, Flying Scotsman! LNER Class A3 4-6-2 "Flying Scotsman" was built in 1923 and was documented to reach 100 mph in 1934. After retirement in 1963, it toured both the USA and Australia before returning to the UK. It was kinda hilarious to watch such a powerful loco up and down the Didcot demonstration line, but it means I can check the train nerd box of traveling behind Flying Scotsman at least once.

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 63 paces | inaudible announcements | a collector of rubbish walks lethargically | passengers pace without purpose

so much ambition
pounces from Id's shadows but
might be flicked away

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 18 paces | hello tasty choices | lights flicker seductively | colours urge purchases

though a worthy cause
it grabs too much attention
for Pete's sake, drop it

It's the Didcot Repair Café today. 2pm till 5pm. Round the back of the Soha building by the station, on the one way lydalls road. There will be a Sustainable Didcot flag outside the very small car park.

Bring along your broken things and we will see what we can do to make them work again. No guarantees but we'll do our best.
