I am tempted to start reading a 981 pages (written in small print) book that I’ve had on my shelves for one year. 😭 Lord, give me strength… Thanks to @overstatedpathos.bsky.social for the suggestion 🥰 #merrygoround #placecharlesvallin

There are days like that 🤷🏽‍♂️ I (politely) remonstrated a woman talking too loud on her phone in the bus I (politely) remonstrated a woman trying to by-pass me in the queue 🙄 Both apologised… I congratulated a metro employee for his English as he was helping tourists ☺️ And I found zaatar croissants 😋

Beautiful movie in which Daniel Craig puts the last nail in James Bond’s coffin. With the least romantic but most realistic sex scene I’ve seen in a while. Semen included! 😉 Very faithful to William S. Burroughs’ universe. And ay, there's the rub, for I don’t like Burrroughs and I got a bit bored…🤷‍♂️

Cooking daly!. I made a sort of chilli con carne I’ve lost count of the all the spices I’ve used: cumin, smoked paprika, cloves, black pepper, garlic, & more. With red peppers & finished with unsweetened pure cocoa powder With extra Saucisse de Toulouse since I was at it 😋

Loot of the day. At last!!! It took me 6 months to find some broccolini in Paris (they are called “bimi” here) after I last ate them in Toronto. After roaming all of Paris in my search, I found them at my local supermarket 100m from home… 😭 #bimi #broccolini #lootoftheday

Lunch in a tourist trap near the Eiffel Tower. Given the name we should have brought our berets. But we found o,e tourist with it… First “gaufre monsieur” (like croque-monsieur but with a waffle) Not too bad and very friendly waiter. #gaufremonsieur #emilyrestaurant #toureiffel

Handyman! But plumbing can be so stressful. The old set of faucets was leaking. First attempt at replacing it lead to (small) disaster 💧 I had forgotten a washer 😬 The bathroom floor is drying up… #plumbing

Great movie and great entertainment! Who knew the catholic church men could be so devious?… Stanley Tucci was impeccable, it was a pleasure to see Isabella Rossellini again. But the real surprise was Carlos Diehz. I won’t say more 🤐 #conclavemovie

The surprise was to find four Emil Nolde painting. He was a nazi sympathiser which didn’t keep Hitler who didn’t like what he did to classify him as a degenerate artist. I discovered Nolde at the Louisiana museum in Denmark and liked him so much until I discovered his murky past. #museepicasso

“Degenerate Art” was banned & destroyed so the nazis had their own official art approved by Joseph Goebbels & directed by Leni Riefenstahl. It was crap… The nazis were not the only one who controlled what could be shown. Stalinist Russia did the same. To say nothing of China🙄 #museepicasso
