Madame Brit in Bordeaux for last 21 years. More chilled here than over at the other place. Don't want to look back & regret the things I didn't do. Mourning the recent loss of our wonderful Pistache the cat 😻
Am v late to the party, I confess to not realising that #DuvetKnowItsChristmas was actually a thing (thought @franglaise.bsky.social had made it up 😆). A v good cause!
Surely the winner, we just need to check that The Teenager made it through the night in his "crack den" 🤔

I've got to be honest, we may as well call it a night #DuvetKnowItsChristmas
I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas
He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic
Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates
He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

Slightly random, for anyone interested - certain Gifis to become Grand Frais in Nouvelle Aquitaine. So much for les idées de génie 🤷♀️

This is what true patriotism looks like!
A sad middle aged man, puffed up to look like Rod Stewart & an immigrant himself, eating ‘English’ grub in an Islamic country whilst slagging off the UK, Islam and migrants.

Watching the President receive the FIFA Peace Prize, I'm struggling to think of a more obvious attempt at placating/grovelling to a tyrannical man-baby than by giving him an entirely made-up award that makes literally no sense whatsoever.

Google doesn't listen to everything you do.
In my new novel I mention a bus terminal in Ohio. I haven't published it. It's just in a Word document on my PC.
Now Google is asking me to review the bus terminal, because it thinks I visited it.

This year's advent calendar treat 😍
@franglaise.bsky.social I couldn't justify a fancy one like last year's, too much to pay for (mainly due to OH's upcoming special birthday) this year. Hoping this less luxurious one doesn't disappoint!

It's real, and it's mind-blowing.
A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Today's sky in sunny Gironde 😎! Mid November, currently 19° & fabulous!
OH was painting a desk outside but had to put it on the covered terrace to stop leaves from falling on the wet paint 😆

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.
