We’re currently watching an episode a night and are close to the daft Morecambe and Wise one in series four.

Ah magic! Love the scenes on Malta (my dad was Maltese) but the bit when they’re watching the soft porn as for rubber is outstanding.

Ought to set up a contraband swap somewhere - I’ll bring the mini cheddars and you bring the dark chocolate Crusli which I got into on holiday and then was devastated to find isn’t sold in the UK.

Barista’s attempt at flower today ended up an inadvertent tribute to Jamiroquai

They’re spot on. The audiobooks are les chiens.

@ianmooreauthor.bsky.social More investigation needed in Paris today … the boulistes are missing and there’s a vide-grenier featuring a bunch of Johnny Hallyday albums. Work for Richard and Valérie!

Paul Weller asked me if his kid could leave sports day early. I was totally star struck and asked whether he was sure they didn’t want to stay for the egg and spoon race. They didn’t.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I was reminded of a very lovely afternoon spent watching the boules players in the Luxembourg gardens - what a bunch of characters they were! Irascibility levels off the scale.

Not to interfere but … you can get the first four for eight quid. And an additional French word Mike!

This is apparently Pompey but I think it looks like Tommy Docherty.

I used to wish my mum would get out more to this sort of thing but now you mention the probability of moaning about migrants and add to that an obsession with Crimewatch and local news, I’m glad she doesn’t.

Thanks for the intel. Was possibly thinking about dropping in on way back to London from Southsea but will give it a swerve.

Almost completely my experience too - last night I was soothed by Richard battling Clovis in the château! The fact you are narrating it so perfectly elevates this to a sublime experience. In fact in 2024 I listened to you for an unbelievable amount of time, through good and bad times!

Safe journey! Research for “Death aux États-Unis”? Not sure how you’d justify Mme Tablier being stateside however. I’m overthinking this.

Yes I was about to comment on that priceless canine expression. It reminds me of the face that Oliver Hardy pulled, breaking the fourth wall, when Stan did something daft.
