Feeling quite sorry for the OGAE people calling round with ticket offers tonight. I’ll not be taking them up on it this year. Hopefully things will be different in the future #Eurovision

You won, EBU.
Enjoy the MoroccanOil money, I hope it makes you happy.
Dear lord, what a sad little life EBU.
You ruined #Eurovision completely so you could have the money and I hope now you can spend it on lessons in basic humanity.

Absolutely fucking full of it. You were the ones who chose to make the vote on Israel contingent on rejecting making the contest voting more secure! That kind of nonsense isn't exactly neutrality.

Right, time to cancel my Austrian accommodation and plan what I’m going to do with 7 days in the northern Balkan region. Might hire a campervan.

Reasons why I shouldn’t be allowed to live alone: just poured another limoncello. It’s nearly 6am…

Yes it’s 03:30, yes I’m watching Dumbledore‘s Secrets (whatever the fuck it’s called)
0% surprised nobody saw this in the cinema. Other than the JK bullshit, WTF it’s going on?!

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

Musing from the past few days of trains, I can‘t help but feel the issues we regularly experience on the West coast, simply don’t exist on the East coast. And if anyone knows why (other than treating capitals better than major and more populated cities), I’d love to know…

What a mess the railways are this weekend. We’re into day 3 of issues on the West coast. Gave up trying to get anything Avanti and now on a 2.5 hour ScotRail train from Carlisle to Glasgow. Good job I’ve got plenty of work to do! 🫠

Look, I’m all for drinking on the train. It’s one of my favourite pastimes. But a 7.5% cider when travelling on your own at 10:30 isn’t giving „fun time gal“ is it?

I’m so pleased to see the 95% satisfaction! I really fell in love with Basel, every local I met was so lovely. One of the first times I really want to return to a Eurovision host city.
🇨🇭 The canton of Basel-Stadt has released the Sustainability Report for #Eurovision 2025.
👉 CO₂ footprint of 1,487 tons CO₂ equivalent
👉 Overall visitor satisfaction of 95%
👉 Turnover of €267 million in Switzerland, €118 million in the Basel region

Just catching up on some opera, as you do, but does watching your pals prancing about on stage ever become not funny? #ScottishOpera

Four hours, one heroic tip run, and a frankly indecent haul of free pies later, the Great Hallway Cardboard Crisis of 2025 is over. Order, glamour, and crumbs restored.

So I've started a Substack, because I feel like I'm starting to bore people by talking about my travels all the time... so it's time to bore everyone!!
First introductory post "Getting There" is out now, would love to see you there! 🫠

I’m literally starving… waiting for an Amazon delivery, the main thing that’s arriving is a fancy new toaster, so I didn’t want to use my old one this morning as I declared last night it’s last usage… which I realise is mental, but why the hell hasn‘t my postman been yet?! This is assault.

Constantly grateful to my past self for booking refundable accommodation…
🚨 The vote to determine Israel's participation in #Eurovision 2026 will no longer take place in November, the EBU has confirmed today.
Instead, an "open and in-person discussion" will take place at the EBU General Assembly in December. No vote is currently planned.

We had a visiting choir at cathedral today (from Roskilde, Denmark) and they were the nicest, most respectful, quietly confident, and wonderfully talented young women I’ve met in a long time! Huge respect to them and their excellent conductor Mette Bjærang.
