Kinda weird seeing a politician I interviewed on the bridge of the HMS Forth, and chatted about Eurovision with being interviewed on BBC Breakfast

So, I'm happy that Germany is finally sending German language pop to Eurovision. One of my favourite Spotify playlists is German language pop. Hopefully next year they send Ok.Danke.Tschüss.

So, today I drove on UK roads for the first time. Let me tell you when you've learned in the Falklands, it's FUCKING TERRIFYING. I'll get there, though. Even managed a couple of roundabouts without issue!

Absolutely love filling in an application form and it times out when I finish, and I lose everything I did on it. AMAZING

Progress as a person: I just told a recruiter I couldn't work for the low salary a job was offering (minimum wage for a not-minimum wage responsibility job!?) Once upon a time I would have just gone yeah alright then

"we have a big beautiful ocean as separation" Umm... Mr President, the westernmost part of the US is about 90km from the easternmost point of Russia. Did... did Trump forget how fucking big Russia is!?

It really hurts that I've gone from having a great job I thrived in, and could have been a career if I'd been in it for 4 years as planned... and then having it taken from me, through no fault of my own. Now I'm back in the UK with only dead end jobs in front of me

My life now is pretty shit. Just wake up, have nothing to do, try and find job, sleep to kill time, live in a room at Sara's dad's with no door, shit northern towns, no car to get about, no driving instructors willing to do a couple of lessons to familiarise me with UK roads, repeat

Well, today I listened to all of the songs so far selected for Eurovision... ...and boy, they are certainly a few minutes of music. Is Eurovision in it's flop era?

On account of being in the same semi final as Ireland, Australia and the UK, I can confirm Malta is a dead cert qualifier. For voting, at least.

Dropped off Twix (my cat) at my friend's earlier this evening for a stay with her before he gets the ship to the UK. I did a cry about half an hour later. Amazing how these little fuzzballs become family so fast. I'll see him the next few days, but after Monday, it'll be over a month! (Nearly 2!)

If we're sending unknown bands to #Eurovision no excuse not to reinstate the British selection show. If you're not confident a UK audience will vote for them how can you be confident they'll pick up votes at the main event?

Remember Monday didn't even make it to the Live Shows of The Voice. And yet the BBC thinks that's a good pick for Eurovision!? I'm just tired. One good result, and every single time since then they've fumbled.

Also I googled "From Fall To Spring" and when I learned a band with a name like that was a metalcore band I can tell you I was so shocked...(!)

Ah Germany, another year you could have sent ok.danke.tschuss and haven't.

Happy Groundhog Day

Stupid fucking idea, that.

About to do the world's most southerly (publicly accessible) parkrun.
