A morning walk around Sofia

Ronaldo!!!!

The tennis ended just in time for Spain vs Portugal or Yamal vs Ronaldo πŸ˜€

Down to the sub-basement today: to see what is left of the medieval Louvre

The Brazilian President making his way, slowly, through Paris

I took a closer look at that statue outside La Madeleine: it’s not Daphne and Apollo as they are both partially trees

The best of luck to him: though I am sad to see him go www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

A small museum but definitely worth a visit 😁

Apart from maybe slightly more broken glass than usual you wouldn’t know there was a wild party on Grands Boulevards last night 😁

Apollo and Daphne I presume - a new statue outside La Madeleine

It’s coming back!

Paris goes mad!

Iconic

I think it's right to call it that. I don't know anyone who'd argue, and I can't imagine trying.

As iconic as the Eiffel Tower πŸ˜€

Lunch with a view: and before anyone say anything, it is Ascension today, a public holiday in France πŸ˜€

Some Americans at the Brassiere just got all β€œOh! Oh! Why are armed soldiers walking around Paris?”. I, having grown up Belfast, just shrugged. [It is all just for show anyway - I doubt they even have bullets with them]

If you get feed up trying to catch a glimpse of the lady and turn around you’ll see this - The Wedding at Cana (which is also the largest painting in the Louvre) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wed...

A display of frames - that’s all … πŸ₯±

Really happy for Palace - a great win for the neutrals πŸ˜€

@fpga.org @jeff.henshaw.org the recent layoffs have hit close to home - Mark Hall has been let go 😞

Why do so many financial stories about Microsoft include an image of Microsoft France? [In case you are interested, yes, I am still employed πŸ˜€ ]

The restaurant cat is enjoying this nice weather 😁

Bringing Moyes back to Everton was inspired - from staring at the abyss of relegation to a decent mid-table finish

I was looking at this and wondering β€œWhy does that guy have what looks like an axe in his head?”

You can find everything at the Louvre 😁

Trying out a new microbrewery in Paris so far so good 😊 untappd.com/user/jonatha...

If the so-called trade deal with the US involves the UK accepting chlorinated chicken and steroid stuffed beef I hope the UK people take to the streets

A visit to a the Louvre using my new pass - calm on one side - madness on the other 😳
