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 😻
O-M-G! Went to see The Devil Wears Prada at the Dominium Theatre last night! Loved it!
Unbelievable, fabulous, amazing - the music, the dancing, the costumes 🤩😍! See it if you get the chance!

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.

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.

@franglaise.bsky.social reckon you might need to order a couple of these for the boys, very fitting for their new maison bourgeoise 🤩
Is your cat a drama queen? Do they need somewhere to dramatically throw themselves in a huff? Then this is the perfect cat sofa/chaise long/fainting couch.

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like-
-How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected?
-How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect?
I cannot remember.

Where else could this very smart & bound to succeed approach to “beating” the far right be happening then?

Shit day alert!
Clients had a major wobble & have pulled out of a sale 😭
New neighbours have a massive bloody dog, they've gone out & left it home alone (well, in the garden) & it's howling 😭
My phone updated itself & now I can't find anything 😭
Is it too early for wine 🤔?

Most of the comments to this post aren't about Jenrick's (& yes, they were racist) comments or questioning what these mythical "British values" might be.
They're comments about which city wins the crown of "England's second city". Priorities, eh 🤷♀️

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.
Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.
