After 7.5 hours on the road, we're home. 3 cats waiting. Loot unloaded. That was a good trip 🇫🇷

Happy 119 birthday to the unique and beautiful Louise Brooks 💕

Vendredi 🇫🇷

I'm sure the ferry announcement just said that Capt Nemo was on the bridge.

Coming to the end of a week in London. I didn't find any no go areas. Not a black flag in sight. I used my phone on the street without it being stolen. I even went South of the river. Twice. It's a great city & I love being here in the place where I was born & where my kids live & work.

Wow. Just spent 105 minutes holding back the tears.

First world problems: ocado showed up an hour early, I was in the shower & the man brought all the shopping up 3 floors, when we wanted it left downstairs as it's all going to France 🤷‍♂️

10 years.

Looking at social media, I find it more than a bit worrying that some people in the editing community think that 'that edit' in the trump Panorama programme was justified because trump is a PoS.

Happy Felix Unger day! youtu.be/Af1h4ibpKJA?...

Zaho time! Super excited.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro: “They think life is a bad Hollywood movie where they’re always the heroic Rambo-style winners and the rest of us—Latinos, Mexicans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Caribbeans, Africans—are the villains. “Let them keep their fading empire and their ugly story.”

The Ridge is really good, but the central character is one of the maddest people on tv. And I've gone right off visiting New Zealand.

London flat is off the market. It's too big and we're not using it enough, but we love it, our amazing neighbours and the area. We'll rethink next year.

I've just received my 6th pointless email about tonight's show at the Palladium.

Tuesday.

This is a brilliant piece of film-making by one of my favourite directors. It looks stunning with a brilliant use of colour; orange, green & especially red. An absolute treat.

Finally. Sweetcorn in London. All the way from <checks label> France!

Monday.

Wordle 1,605 3/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 A sad word for me today 😢

Darwinian Christmas

My daughter's had air-freshners made in the shape of her cat. Keiko will now judge how bad your car smells.

Scrappy old match. Ty & Chris were magnificent. Jaydee gets better & better. Proud of my joke about Hürzeler trying to annexe the Austrian technical area. Richards motm for his gesture to the weeds loveable captain.

#GVerse Um. WTF??? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Matchday. Bring on the weeds. ❤️💙🦅

Good scary stuff in tonight's film.

Japanese bakery delivery for a Saturday lunch? Don't mind if I do.

Friday: Indian food with our French & German neighbours and a quick drink with the Romanian couple 2 floors down. A proper London evening.

This was fun (via Walter Presents). All a bit mad & less than complementary about BB. I did laugh when she has to have a police escort out of a bikini shop because such a large crowd has gathered and they used Barber's Adagio for Strings, best known for the slowmo death of Willem Dafoe in Platoon!

One of the biggest problems with mainstream media is its regular platforming of lunatic people with mad ideas. Particularly the BBC, which is meant to be about public education. UK politics is broken in large part because we have lazy gatekeepers of MSM. Which is why so many are turning off MSM.

Caturday.

Has the world run out of ideas? Politics, films, tv; bereft of original thought.

Christmas lunch delivered 🎅🎄

My cat-free week in London.

Friday.

So there’s a website called Deer Of St Nicholas which posts Christmas wish letters from Ukrainian children who had their childhood stolen by the war, anyone can pick a child and get them their present and it’s that time of the year again to achingly scroll it for hours again

Home sweet home ❤️💙🦅

J-P called up again 🇫🇷🦅

Humans had a good run. I think it's time to end us.

They did their best to stop us, but we made it to London. Ocado shop delivered already. Artisan pie ordered for xmas lunch on saturday with the kids. Asian cakes too. Now set for a haircut and European football today. I ❤️ Ldn.

Good morning London.
