Had a flashback there I thought I might share.
In the late 90s, for reasons that don't really matter, I ended up travelling across America on Greyhound buses.
A guy in New York sold me this pass for cash, and I could ride the bus wherever I wanted

Anyways, after three months, which was the length of my visa, I was heading back to New York, after being most everywhere, but I was so, so tired, and arrived in Boise, Idaho at midnight, just gone to the world.

Then someone sat beside me on the bus, stroked my head, and I went to sleep with my head resting on her shoulder.
I slept properly for the first time in three months.

Then I woke up to a kiss on the cheek, and a flash of blonde hair and she was gone, we were in Fargo, North Dakota, and she was gone.
I'll never know who that person was, but she saved me that night.
Only remembered it because someone mentioned Boise, weird how you bury these things. #Fin

My wonderful goddaughter lost her job in the theatre Royal because of the virus, and has now went to work in a care home for older people.
I'm so, so, proud of her.
She works night shift, helping the older people when they need assistance during the darkness.
She got her vaccine last week.
She's always made me proud of her, top student at her school despite lots of bad things happening to her, she came to visit me in hospital when I was sick, despite the memories that must have raised for her.
She is the most wonderful young woman (but don't tell her I said that)
There's a certain; "It's that kind of attitude that lost us India," feel from this piece.
Interestingly every single example he gives is English, Glastonbury, girl bands and an event that took place at Wembley.
The tone deafness is almost embarrassing.
Says that Assange's experience in the Equadorian embassy was not one he would want to repeat, also says Mexican president was misquoted on asylum offer
Fitzgerald his client is aware: "He is safest and best in this country, with the protection of the rule of law and the cloak of this courts judgement." #Assange
