#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Thanks to #eurostar delay, no waiting in #KingsCross. Could check platform from #nationalRail live board, had QR code ready, the only thing was to jump above Mr FirstOut who had built a wall of suitcases at carriage door - then remember, twice to the right in #StPancras.
#LNER #London #Edinburgh : have reservation at front of train, I stopped midway.
that's alternating current
ish

#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Waiting in #LilleEurope :
although understaffed
today
#Eurostar : Good in France, none in tunnel, poor in the UK
20 min delay "due to operational issues" in #Rotterdam
I have a 30-min connection between #StPancras and #KingsCross, could still work… Staff announced delay and went thru carriage, I could get a Railteam delay certificate (not sure it's valid for my #LNER train, but worked last time)
Lovely evening out in our wonderful city of London, a meal at Prezzo in Kings Cross Station and then a meander around all the new civic spaces they've built in the area, and then back home via Brixton, where Brixton continues to be it's most Brixton.
Beautiful female Harris Hawk on pigeon patrol outside the British Library in King’s Cross. The hawker says the hawk is a deterrent, causing pigeons to vacate the area, rather than a successful hunter of pigeons.
There were lots of boosts in response to my search for a #RepairCafe / #maker / #makerspace in north #London / #kingscross / #Islington, but only one suggestion so far: Haringey Fixers.

An account of my return journey from my Cornish sojourn, including a very large photo gallery. The seashore section of route between Newton Abbot and Exeter St Davids features strongly.
My friend is a graduate engineer, but his day job is mainly spreadsheets and meetings. He's looking for some practical, hands-on activities for his free time.
Can anyone recommend any #RepairCafe, #maker space, #hacklab type places in the North London / #Islington / #kingscross area that he should check out?

Find better material to be a fan of.
You call yourselves Harry Potter fans, I see small time bigots for whom other people's pain isn't a big issue.
You all know what the author is like, how unrepentant she is, how your money keeps her hate going.
It's not THAT good a series a books, it's not worth being a public bigot over.

It is one of my life's ambitions to go out for a plant based meal that is better than I might cook at home. I am not saying I am a chef, it's just that so often veggie food is poorly executed and lacking ambition. Tonight Mildred's in #KingsCross #London delivered big time. #happyveggie #plantbasedfood
