I find the road bollards shaped like pencils outside schools to be very charming and think we should extend the concept to other buildings.
Bollards shaped like syringes outside hospitals, truncheons outside police stations, dildos outside sex shops etc

The reason Barnier succeeded in the Brexit negotiations is that he held all the leverage. In Paris, he has no leverage. Diplomatic skills matter, but the outcome of negotiations is decided by leverage, not smooth talking. www.ft.com/content/ea12...

If you're not going to get round to making your own Xmas pudding today (me neither) that doesn't mean it's too late. This recipe can easily be made next weekend or the weekend after fionabeckett.substack.com/p/my-familys...
My family's favourite Christmas pudding
It's light, super-fruity and doesn't need to be made that far ahead (just as well!)

Can I plead with some of those who have kindly followed me to give me some info on who you are plus a photo? You know what happened with trolls & bots on X: we're ultra suspicious of followers we know nothing about. I won't follow unless I know you're a real person! Simple. Just being cautious.
