Inspired by Matthew Curtis’ podcast at Fynne Ales festival I got a box of Origins. First beer - Nadar blackcurrant - my favourite fruit. It is wonderful - saisonish with a lovely lingering blackcurrant taste. Feels almost healthy to drink.

The most French story since bumbling jewel thieves hit the Louvre.
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Nifty Nige is paid big 💰 to create a world without borders, but only for the Super Rich, so they can offshore their wealth and avoid tax, whilst our public services crumble and the wealth gap becomes an intractable chasm. Man of the people, my arse.

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking.
