At my parents. Dogs sleeping arrangements are not as they are at home… Labrador’s are not designed to share a bed…

Not going well currently is it.

Cos that’s what they do at home.

France - May we offer you support for your start-up?

Some people have to, loads of important congresses are still held in the US… I know lots of people who would rather not be going there!

Honestly Orwell couldn’t have described it better…

Oh don’t go complicating things with facts! It’ll break their little brains!

Tracking a friends flight on the non stop CDG to Perth. Been a while since I looked at flights going east. The various areas of « instability » means the planes look like a line of ants trooping through the Middle East !

It takes more than a year to systematically destroy an educational institutions reputation.

Let’s see where we are at at the end of his current term.

The first time around the French had to retrain their translators because he doesn’t speak with any recognisable syntax.

Went with it. (Was feeling very Gen X-y this morning as I’ve done my knee in)

I'm trying to find any descendants of John and Emma Gilkes who lived in Heath Road, Twickenham, in the early 19th century.

They would genuinely rather kill their own than admit any form of truth.

Ha it really would! Know any bioengineers ?

Ugh. They like to torment you… would he wear a tracker on his collar?

Solo dog parenting this week.
Just gonna say that soothing dog music playlists are extremely helpful when trying to work…

Do you want to see my passport?

My husband and I are both bilingual. Lots of French people are. Especially in Paris. My husband’s company is based in the US and he spends a reasonable amount of time in NYC/DC.
I am aware of what is happening in the US, it impacts everyone.

No. Because people protested them being given extra powers before they got them.

Tradition. It’s part of the culture.
Didn’t let the revolutionary spirit die 😁

I’m French… hence the comment 🤣
