Sitting in a brasserie opposite Gare du Nord watching a lady, who obviously has mental health issues, performing a complicated dance routine involving half a loaf of sliced bread and an empty plastic bottle. No-one mocks and the traffic gently drives round her. These are my people 🥰

The most disappointing find was that the Deportation Memorial is closed till Wednesday. I always try and visit. Interesting exhibition outside tho.

My lovely little Twingo has had a slightly higher MOT bill than I was expecting. So, I’ve made a load of #ww1 and #ww2 original paintings available at heavily reduced prices, here: timgodden.co.uk/shop Please do take a look and I hope you find something you like.

When I was a nipper, my dad - an active trade unionist - took me to see the 'Memorial for Heroic Self-Sacrifice' in Postman's Park, not far from St Paul's. It was moving and inspiring to see working class folk (many of whom where children) being celebrated for their bravery #London #workingclass

Just under a month ago I rescued Maria as she was about to die. She hadn’t been to the toilet in weeks and she could no longer eat. Things look bleak. To see her today is just remarkable… (1/10) 🧵
