I won't be going for copper Grim , falls a lot short of gold for 50th, if we make it that is.

I got the train to Brighton today then went to Worthing by car, my aunt loves the Chipwick, now I've travelled back by train. I refuse a lift because I love the train. And I was in luck today travelling I only ever waited for any form of public transport for a few minutes at most, a rarity.

It's lovely seeing the seafront. My aunts asked me numerous times to move in with her but I love my own space. It is tempting though especially on hot days.

Turned up to the gym at 7.50 tonight ready to be in a grumpy mood due to my expectation of there being other humans in the place especially as January is “new year new me” period.

There was not a soul there. Very happy Russ tonight. Smiled a few times too.

Bittersweet day as after 11 years I left the office today for the final time. Achieved everything I wanted to so looking forward to my new start on Monday. Had a pile of emails from people I work with now or alongside over the 11 years wishing me well which was really touching, some of them I’d not actually seen in 3 or 4 years.

Hard not to get sentimental as the company was very supportive during my Dark Clouds and the people who helped me are still there in many roles and although my new job is in the same building, due to the nature of the business we wouldn’t have any interaction during the working day so I won’t see them anywhere near as often.

But the new job starts next week and with even greater perks (the ones I had for 11 years were good) I’m looking forward to it. Apart from the daily commute in to Cardiff for the next 8 weeks (the now-previous job was WFH 4 days with just once a week in the office)…..

Travelling to Brighton. Southern rail now go to Hove before Brighton. Love the seats on southern, very comfy.

Also full of rather unhappy seagulls supporters atm.

My happy thought is that there's hope for everyone

Jeremy Clarkson has said he can’t get on with people who voted for Brexit, weeks after experiencing the nightmare ramifications of leaving the EU.

Clarkson said that, generally, he can spend time with people who have differing views to his own – but “the one exception” is “people who voted for Brexit”.
