Interesting.
Some folks are saying we're focusing on Bardot's racism.
Well...yeah. I will speak ill of the dead if the dead are evil.
There's a cure. Don't be evil.
Nobody gets a pass.
Until the headlines read: NOTED RACIST PASSES AWAY AT 91. SHE ALSO MADE FILMS.

I think I have unlocked a new level of Christmas Eve-ing
I have a tray of roast potatoes in the oven and we will be enjoying these with a baked Camembert, charcuterie and bread
You can never have too many roast potatoes over Christmas

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Three things:
1. Glad Jake Paul finally had a real fight and got his jaw broken.
2. Ese cabrón isn’t Puerto Rican and most definitely doesn’t represent my country.
3. If you hate folks like Jake Paul and have any kind of love for PR, this book is for you.

Here's a quite large pastel drawing done sitting on the river bank at Byron's Pool, Trumpington Cambridge. Byron is said to have swum here. Perhaps his anarchic spirit was at work.
