Assorted Paris things:
1. The Folies Bergere looking blingy
2. A shop selling antique postcards that I must go back to when it’s actually open
3. Local wildlife
4. The French love naming things after random English words: this is from a vegan bakery chain

A very posh chocolate crispy cake from the Nina MΓ©tayer cafe in the Printemps department store, Paris. The cake involves a lot of dark chocolate and ganache, it’s delicious

Update: Richard Ayoade is on the same Eurostar as me, so he’ll probably get picked to be French prime minister first. Still might get my turn tomorrow, though. πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

I recently did a Smack The Pony rewatch and she crops up in a couple of sketches in that, too. (As I recall, she may have tried out to be one of the main three but didn't get the gig.)

Alas! A sad farewell to Gardies, they served me and many others well in the early 90s and I only got food poisoning once (kept going, just stopped having the chicken souvlaki).

He's a sexy Tudor guy

A slim educational book for primary children called further and further, the title is in black serif text inside a red circle to the top left, to the right a white diamond has black san serif text which reads a PM number story caption book, bellow this, in red and black the cover is patterned with cartoonish drawings of birds in red white and black, playfully positioned between geometric shapes, the style is very much mid century modern for children

Incantation bowl with an Aramaic inscription around a demon, from Nippur, Mesopotamia, 6–7th century

It's a bowl with scrawled Aramaic script around the inside and a little image of Lilith right in the middle holding what looks like a tree branch almost like a wand, and her hair is short and blocky, and she looks like a 5yo drew her, she's brilliant, a rectangular nose and big round eyes with dots for pupils that make her look wild. she's also smiling. the most Mona Lisa smile you've ever seen until the actual Mona Lisa. this thing is so great. mother of demons, y'all. actually just read that it cold be the male form of Lilith. either way it's delightful

A large cake in the window of a cake shop in Folkestone, decorated with huge amounts of fondant so it looks like Miss Piggy in a Victorian outfit from Muppets Christmas Carol. The fondant is very pale and mostly white and pink, making her look ghostly and her fondant eyes look weirdly unfocused.
