Apparemment, bubble bath is not a thing in France. They just use shower gel. Either they or the Brits are being scammed. The French are usually correct about most things…
Apart from square pillows. Fuck square pillows. Pure evil.
48 hours until I pick up the keys for my little bit of France. Still can’t quite believe this is happening.
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Love a good map!

This is so gross.
This does look like it’s for paints, it’s cute!
I wish people would stop telling me I speak excellent French because it’s very clear from my conversations with builders that I really don’t.
Being able to translate Proust beautifully is not the skill I needed, it turns out.
I’m wearing head to toe Japanese workwear today, in my very subtle WBD costume
A Shiba Inu came into the shop today, and I am now over chihuahuas. What a tail! And such a sweet smile.
It was! Good to meet you properly as well!
Those moss rugs are amazing!
Day 2 of hot yoga. Did not die but had to stop and lie down. Feeling very virtuous now.
Every cell of my body is sore already
First hot yoga class since pre pandemic. Actually, first yoga class for too long. Squeeze into my kit, realise need new kit. Can’t find grippy towel. Fighting urge to just crawl back into bed.
I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
I’ve said it any times, this guy could be just what Labour needs
Real risk for Labour that this accelerates their abandonment by progressive voters, because it shows Greens can win
Green vote trebled from 2024. Labour vote halved
Greens will claim this establishes them as the progressive party to stop Reform in England
(as Plaid claim in Wales post-Caerphilly)
The Green Party has more democratically elected MPs than Reform, who have managed to elect 5 MPs on their mandate. The rest are defectors.
Looking forward to balanced visibility of this in the media. 🙄
Dancing happily in Green Party member style.

This genuinely makes me feel so happy. I’ve had some amazing experiences hearing Born Slippy live, but this would have been- no words
Why do people even bother giving you a ‘time slot’ for when they are going to turn up that is 9am to 4pm. Dude, that’s a day not a time slot. You’re turning up at some point during the day.
No cheating, your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.
At the rate I’m accumulating DVDs, I will be able to have my own personal Blockbuster in my cellier when I move to France.
For some reason, the Guardian is still not mentioning Paul’s remarkable book. Therefore I’m yet again providing a link to it!
