Hey, @dpduk_, any particular reason my parcel reached the local depot, sat there for a few days, then got sent back? After I'd paid extra for special delivery?

Having been in hospital for nearly a week has made it even clearer that the NHS is absolutely dependent on immigrants. The only non-immigrants I've spoken with have been porters, healthcare assistants, one junior doctor and my physio team. Everybody else, immigrant. And lovely.

Replying to @AvantiWestCoast
@AvantiWestCoast I travel from Milton Keynes to Warrington with you every week. I've been doing it for six months now. I haven't had a single journey that could be deemed tolerable. Today, it was lovely until I got to Crewe, at which point my train was cancelled.

A train showed up. Oh, good, I thought. I can get something to eat. No, it was cash only because the card machine was broken. Just once, I'd like a train journey where everything worked.

Credit where it's due, @AvantiWestCoast An elderly lady and her daughter had missed the train they'd booked assistance for. Station staff at WBQ checked what other trains their ticket was valid on, got them onto the train, and arranged for them to be assisted at the other end.

I mean, my @AvantiWestCoast train is so overcrowded that even the vestibules are standing room only, but at least some of your staff are good.

Just shy of 9,000 stitches and several hundred hours of stitching later, I'm still not happy with it, but IT'S FUCKING DONE. #OurFlagMeansDeath #OurFlagMeansDeathArt Oh, and the rope holding the hoop is a retired bunt gasket from the barque I crewed on a trans-Atlantic run.

I don't have any real thoughts to share on all of this, but at least you know Boris Johnson is completely RIPSHIT he didn't get this moment in history, and that, at least, is Good.

I wanted to join in on the #ourflagmeansdeathfanart but, tragically, I can't draw. However, I can cross-stitch sooo #ourflagmeansdeathfancraft?

I'm back on my bullshit. (Disclaimer: I never actually left my bullshit, but my first attempt at @cononeilluk was crap.) Now trying to decide who to stitch next. Open to suggestions but no guarantees I'll follow them! #OFMDfanart #OFMDfancraft #OurFlagMeansDeath

Quick weekend stitch as a break from the big, fiddly bastard. May do a proper design of the lighthouse painting at some point but just playing around for now. #OFMDfanart

If I could vote, I'd be voting for Lithuania, Ukraine, Netherlands, Austria, and maybe Norway. I really thought there'd be more horny rock after last year. #EUROVISION
