Passport ✅️ Boarding pass ✅️ Luggage ✅️ Berlin - I'm coming to get you!

#OTD 85 years ago

I had all the Euromillions winning numbers tonight - 5 main numbers and the 2 lucky stars. Shame they weren't all on the same line 🤣 ah well, £12.30 will go towards a Starbucks on Sunday at the airport.

Oi. Thunder and lightning. Yes, you down South. Get your bum over to where the blue dot is. I want a show of light and sound. K? Thanks. Bye.

Two days to go until I'm back in Berlin. I have withdrawal symptoms - I need beer and currywurst (and a trip over the border to Poland to grab some decent vodka)

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

Me, in my BlueSky bubble...

Unless the slim and tanned mid-20s bearded postman that just knocked on with a delivery that wouldn't fit through the slot has a wonky eye, I think I've just been eye-f*cked #StillGotIt 🤣

Up late, brain is doing that "not switching off" thing again. Sitting in the semi-dark, one of the two cat assholes sleeping next to me, listening to Classic FM, thinking what to pack for Berlin in a week - clothes obviously, but what fragrance/s to take for a 5-night trip?

Tell me your pet's name with a GIF (have a video instead, couldn't find a suitable GIF)

Watching the rain outside and spotted this on a clothes peg. It's a harlequin ladybird larva. Never seen one before. PS I'm impressed by the zoom on my phone camera!

Time to see what hearing I've got left and what snazzy hearing aids I can have.

It's 1st June. Happy June to all.

What/who are you wearing to the bsky prom?

Slavic time - tea Belarusian: чай Bosnian: čaj Bulgarian: чай Croatian: čaj Czech: čaj Macedonian: чаj Russian: чай Serbian: чаj Slovak: čaj Slovenian: čaj Ukrainian: чай Polish: ... Czech: Don't... Polish: (breathes in) Ukrainian: Please stop... Polish: HERBATA 🤣 Rest of family: Rebellious shit.

Went to the cinema today to see Final Destination Bloodlines. I'm never getting my nose pierced and will be wary of MRI scanners in the future!

Millennium Bridge, Salford Quays

Get those outfits ready 😍 the team behind Mighty Hoopla have confirmed the festival will indeed go ahead in a new statement ✨ let's goooo!

British holidaymakers will soon be able to use more eGates in Europe, which the government says "will end the dreaded queues" at border control. Don't know when or how (because of passport stamps/Schengen) but that queue for third country passport control on every trip to/from the EU is pure hell!

This came up in social media memories today - my christening in 1973. The only adult still with us is my godmother (dressed in white). Top (L-R) gran, great-aunt, Mum, great-uncle Bottom (L-R) ciocia*, godfather, godmother, grandad *older family friends were always ciocia/wujek (aunt/uncle)

Last #Eurovision #Eurovision2025 post from me tonight - spot the similarities between 2024 and 2025 votes for the country who won tonight's public vote

Voting from the two semi-finals #Eurovision #Eurovision2025 so very close for Cyprus in SF1 and no shockers in SF2 given tonight's public vote in the final

This is how the public voted for their winner #Eurovision #Eurovision2025

The country that won the public vote picked up 297 points out of a maximum 444 points, getting an average of 8 points (3rd place) from 36 countries and a "rest of the world" vote, after coming in 15th place in the jury vote #Eurovision #Eurovision2025

Just finished watching Israel very nearly winning the Eurovision Song Contest, turned over to the news to see Israel continuing to destroy Gaza. Something very wrong here.

With apologies to my boyfriend, the remote control is mine for the day 🙂 3pm: F1 qualification 4.30pm: FA Cup final 8pm: Eurovision final

17th May is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia. The date commemorates the World Health Organisation’s decision in 1990 to remove homosexuality from its classification of diseases. We exist. We don’t need a cure. #IDAHOBIT

AliExpress. No. What algorithm are you using? 🤣

Saturday's running order - who do you think will win (bearing in mind that juries probably won't give this year's fanw*nk songs a high score)

Cannot wait for the breakdown of the semi final voting 💀

Just realised I had 9/10 on pre-performance predictions. Yay me.

8 out of 10 - my Czechia and Australia were replaced by Armenia and Lithuania

Controversial #Eurovision post - Sweden's entry this year is not all that. Ah well, bring it on Thursday - I need me some milkshake 😉

7/10 on predictions tonight, I didn't have Ukraine, Portugal or Iceland going through #Eurovision
