@ScotRail Thanks!

(Honestly, I cannot even think how many questions you have had to answer about the whole Union St situation)

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

@ScotRail First Glasgow is stateing on their website that "Ticket acceptance will continue until Sunday night and not be in place from Monday morning"

I have a season ticket (bought via the Trainline, so no refund), on the Cathcart Circle - so come Monday I am on my own?

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

@ScotRail Thanks Rebecca - I'm assuming this will be put on something more official before Monday? (You're website)

(I don't want an argument with a bus driver on Monday morning, thus the ask)

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

@ScotRail Great - thanks for confirmation!

(And I take my hat off to you folks trying to keep everyone happy here after the Union St fire)

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

@thetrainline I bought a Monthly Season ticket via your app but I'm impacted by the Glasgow Central Fire.

For the days that trains are not running, what are my options? Refund from yourselves, @ScotRail or delay repay?

If you asked me if I would be getting tips for Sourdough from Taylor Swift on NFL (NFL adjacent?) podcast - then honestly no.

But yet, here we are

Paris 2025 Day 1: 32C, 10 miles of walking (including up and down the Effiel Tower) and alot of "Oh, I wanted to see that". And food, because it's France

So I went to a thing tonight, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I feel.... Meh?

Now is not the time for deep analysis though. Or any analysis really.

I'm taking the personal win that I actually remembered it is #TimeToTalkDay actually on Time to Talk Day itself - and not 3 days later like usual...

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

So now the Eagles are heading back to the Superbowl, do we know if the lampposts have been greased yet? #WASvsPHI

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

Lets be frank, I have had easier first weeks back at work. And that's before trying to fix the washing machine.

Time to remind myself that I work to live, not the other way about (despite me really liking my job at this point)

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

So I just used ChatGPT to review the SMART reports for my NAS hard drives and tell me in order if I was to replace them, which one.

I am hoping it is correct - as if it is, I am impressed.

If not - then there is a chance I will need my backups....

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

Well I just realised the John Lewis Christmas Ad has been going since 2007, so technically it's old enough to drink now (legally).

(Although, some may argue it was a couple of years before they produced their "first" ad)

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

Well the timing for this video to appear on my Subscriptions is impeccable...

And now I'm looking for my Mental Health folder and trying to remember where I put my copy of "Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?" - as I have a feeling the spiral may occur regardless...

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

There are times where I need to push the emotional side of my brain aside (and cause me to have a mental downward spiral) and let the "logical side" deal with it and ensure it's all smiles.

As it appears that time is now.

And I'm in a better place, but yikes it's hard.

Yesterday was the BMW Museum, BMW Welt followed by a bike ride though the Olympic Park

[Ryan Adam @rfadam]

Spent a day at the Deutsches Museum and it possibly hands down the best museum I've been to. I spent a total of 5 hours there and I could have probably spent more. Very hands on but also very varied (so just science but the implementation of it).

My initial thoughts on this: Good to see, but:
- Either people will set them off regardless (so similar to what happens today)
- Or they will move to different areas (in the Southside)
- And yet there is still no organised Fireworks display in Glasgow
