Londoner living in rural France. Green liberal humanist, likes to cook, dance, eat, garden, walk, cycle and rant. Pale, male and much too stale.

#RWC IRE-RSA the two best teams in the world and it shows. A fantastic half of rugby.
@BBCRadio4 Today programme not reporting the #LibyaFloods - a #ClimateDisaster as fatal as the Moroccan quake. Downplays the seriousness of the emergency we are in, supporting #denialism. Absolutely shameful.
The swallows left about a week ago.
Today they're back. Was it too hot for them further south?
Three drop goals?!!
I suppose a mudbath year comes to every festival eventually - even Burning Man. WOMAD 2008 sticks in my mind Anyway, we're off to one in Norfolk today. A brisk shower forecast for the Saturday afternoon, but otherwise mostly dry.

Burning Man fans share heartbreak as desert venue is flooded by storm

‘The desert doesn’t absorb. It’s like a pool being drained onto a tile floor,’ one person commented on social media

@UKnoGum They need the small boat traffic (to distract from other stories, such as tens of billions of Tory corruption).

If they wanted to "stop the boats" they would have ... stopped the boats. Ages ago.

Before Brexit, Tories were warned a boats crisis would follow.

At Brexit, Tories refused a deal France offered to prevent the crisis.

Since Brexit, Tories exacerbated the crisis with illegal & unworkable schemes.

Throughout Brexit, Tory media backed everything Tories did.

At every stage, Tories made everything worse, blamed scapegoats & shielded themselves with propaganda stories in the Tory media.

A whole bunch of baby swallows just fledged. They'll be leaving in only a week or two. I think the third brood this year. They've had a really successful breeding season - there are dozens of them swooping about. Hope we get more than a handful of returners next Spring.
I hate #cocaine and everything it does. Instant arsehole powder, lets drunks keep drinking long after they should have fallen over. But the evil it does is a tiny fraction of the evil its prohibition does . #MeutresàMarseille, #mexico #Narcostates Time to end its prohibition.
