Phew!

Also I will never be able to un-love Asterix. They’ve been making me laugh out loud since I was 8 years old. In ex-colonial equatorial Africa, ironically. Also the jokes are really not the same in translation. I really hope I’m still allowed 😭

I’ve deliberately not listened yet. Also I just sent my niece ‘Le Yoga de Babar’ for her 3rd birthday, hoping it was a new-age unproblematic updated version 🙄

In fairness, Vienna is getting less affordable. But even with some things now more expensive than what I found in the UK (groceries namely), quality of life is still hugely better because of access to good housing and amazing public transport. And just general attention to community facilities.

This is bonkers. I moved to Vienna from the UK in January to a district that is entirely new-build. Within a 5 minute walk of my front door there are 4 supermarkets, a chemist, a doctor, 6 playgrounds, a park, a tram stop and at least 3 schools. Why is it so outlandish to expect the same in Britain?
