Monorail! 🚝

Wuppertal is a city in western Germany known for its iconic hanging Wuppertal Schwebebahn — a suspension monorail gliding above the river since 1901. Monorail! Graham and I couldn’t stop grinning. Lisa indulged us. 😄


Well, sir, there’s nothing on earth

Like a genuine, bona fide

Electrified, six-car monorail…

What’d I say?

Monorail!

What’s it called?

Monorail!

That’s right — monorail!

Bayer Leverkusen 1 - 1 Arsenal…

Great away day with the @gaygooners 🌈


On the pitch Arsenal flirted with defeat until Madueke won late penalty & Kai Havertz coolly punished his old club. 


One - one and tie heads to North London with nerves intact.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

First day in Cologne; planes, trains, cathedral, beers, and food. Oh and a Dalek.

Mark…

I miss Mark every day. He made me laugh so hard. He’d love to be teased, fake outrage, and then collapse into fits of giggles. 🤣

He had that rare gift of making you feel special ❤️

Mansfield 1 - 2 Arsenal…

Cup ties in small grounds are meant to be uncomfortable. But we had a proper scare. 

Mansfield pressed, shot often and generally behaved like a team on a mission. 

Thankfully Noni Madueke curled in Arsenal’s opener before the break, then Mansfield nicked one after a youthful wobble, but Eberechi Eze arrived off the bench to restore order with a thunderbolt. ⚡️


Teenagers impressed, nerves jangled, quarter finals secured, job done.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.
