His new favourite activity: birdwatching through the Velux.

Wag the Dog. Een oorlog beginnen. Er is geen beproefder truc om slechte publiciteit te begraven. Media worden klaargestoomd en straks ingezet om een patriottische Rally ‘round the Flag periode in te luiden. Verwacht militaristische beelden van vliegdekschepen, piloten en marines. Textbook spul.

I haven'tseen any of these films, but he's a Skarsgård and he speaks about his family in this interview, so it was interesting to read. Alexander Skarsgård: "My Grandmother Was Incredibly Sexually Liberated. She Would Have Enjoyed Pillion" share.google/hfUezaEkwQND...

Fourteen has gone out in his jumper today. I suppose it's OK, it will be 16 this afternoon. Bit nippy now though, at 13..

Now Guillermo Des Toro's #Frankenstein is the sort of film I'd want to watch in the cinema. I see that it's a Netflix film though. Does that mean you can't ever see it on the big screen?

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

🤣🤣🤣

More proof that billionaires just do whatever they want, and get away with it.

His tail is like a flag 😂

I said to Ten, please close the curtains and feed the cat. The cat is now waiting at the fridge. This French cat definitely understands English.

Whaaaaaaat!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Been looking into trainings in Canva and InDesign and spoken to 2 training companies today. I've decided I want to learn to use InDesign. There's about 100 training companies to choose from, no idea how to go about it. Only very few have a rating on moncompteformation, and those only by one person.

Love these garden peas from Lidl. Nobody else does them. The French love "les petit pois extra fines" but we love them thick and juicy 😋

Here it comes. I knew it was coming. The *yeah but* is the *raping of children really that bad* conversation. Its out there now. Just so we all know how sick this is and how far they have all fallen? Megyn has 3 children. 2 boys and a girl. This is what being in a cult does to Your mind.

OMFG!

It's #WorldKindnessDay! This quote from our patron Stephen Fry says it all. 🥰

Hello lovely phone family. I hope you're all well. Just popping by to let you know today is #WorldKindnessDay 🥰 Let's keep sprinkling the good stuff around. Have an amazing day everyone and of course always #HaveCourageAndBeKind ♥️

Remembering the victims of the November 13, 2015 Paris attacks at the Bataclan, Stade de France, and in Paris…

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

En waarom ook niet?

Come & have a rummage in my emporium (if you like) 🛒🐦 hellohalloweeno.etsy.com

Seventeen's gone out to do his Philosophy mock. Hope he gets a question about State rather than something on Consciousness. We got into an awful muddle about that yesterday haha

You forgot the Indian Pudding. Who can make me an Indian pudding today? 🍮

Gosh. In this innocent article about Christmas gifts, there is a disclaimer warning people in Hulta borough in Borås in Sweden that a 'suspected dangerous subject' has been seen in the surroundings. They are being urged to stay indoords and to close doors and windows. 😮

This is amazing

Perfect sleep. I was only awake for 3 minutes 😮😮😮 I feel absolutely exhausted though 😔 #LongCovid

Good evening

My son before his philosophy mock exam: "David, the Great Philosopher, before his exam: "I think, therefore I cram"

Have made pumpkin soup. Trying to think what to serve with it apart from bread. It's not a huge amount and I have five mouths to feed.

Sounds great.

Dress for the job you want

Strange day today. Ten threw up ay 2am so I was up in the night. We eventually went to sleep on the sofabed. So no Marseillaise today and nothing urgent. I feel sapped of energy so we're just lounging; watching Fabulous Beasts. My Swedish teacher has the flu so we only did 30 mins of my lesson.

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’

😡😡😡

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."

Bank holiday today because it's Armistice Day. No merch on sale because we don't celebrate War Christmas here, we have a ceremony in town to remember the fallen. As it should be.

Mr Floof

This one's flowering again, yay! 😀

Brianna was not murdered by a phone. She was murdered with knives by two 15-year-old kids who grew up in the toxic atmosphere of British society, fed by the media and government. We know this because phones are not capable of penetrating human skin 28 times, across her head, neck, chest, and back.

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

Love this version #NowPlaying

Second weekend is here! Kiddie is singing the Marseillaise tomorrow, but he only needs to be there at 10.

French bureacracy always bites you in the arse when you're not paying attention.

Received a message that my son can't do his BAC unless we provide proof, before 12/11, that he's been entered into the census. As he isn't a French citizen, this is impossible. I've just received the message from his school. I'm now trying to speak to someone about it. Tomorrow's a public holiday.

Burrito lunch 😍

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
