It destroys you. But, the other memory I have from that visit was there was a group of Americans there. I’d say they were in their late teens, taking big group smiling, laughing selfies in front of the famous monstrous gates. Actually laughing and smiling.

I visited Auschwitz a few years ago. The thing that haunts me the most is the huge room entirely filled with children’s shoes.

I know you hate Antifa dad, but I learned in school today that Antifa means “Anti Fascist” so Antifa are actually against Fascism. Antifa are Anti- Fascists.

So, if you’re against anti fascists, doesn’t that make you a fascist? Is mom a fascist too? Shall I be a fascist?

OMG, A food stall has just opened on the beach at Dover!

It’s run by RNLI staff, and the food is completely free to anyone that arrives in a dingy in case they’re a bit “peck”ish after the crossing 😱

Danny Kaye would have a field day with Trump. Imagine the songs from the film.

Trump got nowhere with a ceasefire deal. I wonder why?

Can someone put me in touch with the lads who kept
rearranging the Fawlty Towers sign? They're badly needed here in my village.

(NB X wouldn’t let me post this, even when I deleted the “flowery” picture and tried again 🤷).

Tonight I’ve made us this Risotto. (Don’t worry @mrjamesob.bsky.social I was very careful 😉).

Chicken with thyme and porcini mushrooms, and a drizzle of truffle oil. I’ve had the dried porcinis soaking in a mixture of wine and water all day to make the fantastic stock 😋

🥹 This Rex. He’s from the farm half a mile away. He comes up to see us almost every day. We gave him a good love up this morning and he left. 5 minutes later he’d been home and brought back a toy for us to throw for him. Is that the cutest thing ever? 🥰

Lean turkey breast mince to Lebanese spiced skewer kebabs in a few minutes 😋 They’re made with fresh dill, coriander and mint, plus some Lebanese spices, garlic and black pepper. Two meal worth there for €1.50

I ❤️ the Poor Shelf 😀

There are worse views to wake up to than the Donegal countryside. I just sat looking out of my window for 10 minutes while I drank my coffee 😉🤣
