At least, the doctor thinks I probably have not got swine flu. Merely ordinary seasonal flu, which is what I thought. So I'm at home, sleeping a lot and feeling sorry for myself.

It seems that the British contingent of MEPs in the European Parliament will include two members of the far-right BNP. It seems that despite there being no discernable increase in the number of people voting for the BNP, the number votes BNP leader Nick Griffin garnered actually went down, the party's share of the vote increased enough under the proportional representation system used for the European elections for them to win two seats. Which means that enough people decided not to vote to let the BNP in. (And it seems that one or two local authorities have a few BNP councillors elected under the traditional first-past-the-post system as well.)

I voted in the European Partliamentary elections last Thursday. I always vote. I'm old-fashioned enough to believe that it is my duty to vote, because women suffered imprisonment and torture so that I might have the privilege of voting.

One of the best reasons for voting I've ever heard, went like this: You've got to vote. Otherwise you can't complain.

It seems I have to add to that: You've got to vote. Otherwise the BNP will get in.

My luggage arrived at Heathrow at the same time as I did. Except for the guitar, that is, which keristor and bardling are bringing back in the car.

Thank you to the committee meritmaat, sibylle and tarkrai for an absolutely wonderful time. :D

All you filkers who weren't there, missed a really great con. But never mind, they're running another one next year - I've already joined. :)

The con is good, the music's very good, the hotel very helpful. I'm having a good time.

What do you mean, you want a proper conrep? It's Sunday morning at a filkcon, for Heaven's sake! I still haven't woken up...

My luggage and I arrived together at Hanover Airport. And we arrived safely at Bad Salzdetfurth, where nella_darren and the_magician collected me from the station.

I'm happy.

Well, not quite. I haven't started packing. And I must sort out my hand luggage, which will have to include emergency clothes in case my hold luggage does not arrive in Hanover with me.

Why?

Because on Friday I'm flying from Heathrow to Hanover via Schiphol. With KLM.

Stop laughing please, shewhomust and durham_rambler! :D

Actually, it will be the first time I've travelled through Schiphol. And I'm more likely to have problems with luggage coming back on Monday, as my stopover time there is very short - I didn't realise how short when I booked the flight.

I would say, cue lordofthewheel's hilarious luggage song, but that might be tempting fate. And I'm flying from Terminal 4 not 5.

Anyway. DFDF (Das Fruehlingsfest der Filkmusik) here I come!

Thanks to aryana_filker for this. Here's where I've been in the world so far.

It's a very misleading map. I have been to a few places in the US, but there's an awful lot of the US that I've not been to, such as California and Alaska. The same with Canada and Australia. But the website asks you to fill in the countries you've visited. And the US, Canada and Australia are all countries.
