A timely Sunday reminder from Simone de Beauvoir: “Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and one, day after day…The battle against dust and dirt is never won”

Thought it was just post-Pride blues but if you’ve got a sore throat or any respiratory symptoms — yes, even mild — in the middle of summer, odds are it’s Covid.
I tested negative yesterday. This morning: positive

At the wonderful Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. Right in the Latin Quarter, next to the Panthéon. It’s not just artist residencies and long-term accommodation - anyone with an interest in Irish culture can avail of very reasonable rates for short-term stays.

This fella comes to visit us every day when the dog isn’t looking. Not to be too essentialist or whatnot, but he’s just so macho. I’ve never in my life met a cat with such swagger. Look at those eyes; he’s even got little freckles on his nose (this photo doesn’t do them any justice, sadly)
