Having a nice breakfast before getting my wisdom teeth removed and having to resort to soup and yogurt 24/7...

Travelling back from Spain. Booked last train leaving Edinburgh to Durham. Cancelled. Last train now is one hour after I land. Any delay beyond 20 minutes (security included) means being left stranded there. Don't be surprised if you see me running like a madman around Edinburgh

Amazed by "Napoleon", as I have never seen such an inaccurate, boring and ridiculous portrayal of history. Such a wasted opportunity.

Making some time whilst I wait for my bus; delayed by 10 hours due to French farmer's protest...

After 33 hours of travelling, I finally made it!

Why do Dutch supermarkets sell soup in a plastic sausage container?!
