They took me out of the EU so I ran here to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Love outdoor pursuits but getting to an age where I hurt myself rather too much. Keep trying though. Cautious about Labour but delighted tories are out. I want back in the EU.

France is dangerously divided: a new survey by Le Monde:

Graph showing lines representing those who think The Rassemblement National in France does not present a danger to democracy , and those that think it does, converging steadily for 14 years : they are now very very close. France is equally divided.

Oh dear 😬

I just had to post this photo of Farage. It’s the worst I’ve ever seen, but it sums up visually everything I hate about him: haw-hawing over everything, looking like he’s had one too many pints, as far from prime-ministerial as a braying donkey….

Photo of Farage in mid-guffaw, jaws wide, eyes screwed up in mirth.

Tomorrow is going to be the hottest day ever recorded in France 😱 I’m under one of the 40s 🥵. Hang on to your sun hats everyone….

The Donald Trump mugshot where he looks ugly, pissed off and glowering.

And the report continues with a report on the UK’s dirty waters and beaches

‘Brexit: alors, «happy»? Long report on TF2 news tonight ( France) on the ( lack of) success of brexit on the anniversary. Complete with cameo appearance of Steve Bray ( yay!) @stevebraysodem.bsky.social and all the stats clearly showing cost and decline. Ouch. Now talking about our sewage !

Wow. Doesn’t Trump look OLD in this photo. His attempts to hide the signs of ageing are falling apart. I predict he won’t accept it with grace, but will try even harder to hide it, making himself look even sillier in the process. www.alternet.org/donald-trump...

Last night:French news on TF2 : Boris Johnson interviewed about his book - but also about the deplorable state of the NHS 🤣 Naturally he lied through his teeth but presenter Anne-Sophie Lapix was prettily tough with him

Boris Johnson and French news presenter Anne-Sophie Lapix on French news. Johnson’s hair is an absolute hairstack 🥴

Just pre-ordered this from @bylinetimes.bsky.social Books . Frankly, I am scared to read it, but forewarned may be a little bit more fore-armed.

A beach at sunset , with calm waters lapping onto sand. On the horizon, suffused with orange, is the stark black silhouette of a headland, and beyond that, another softer silhouette of a rocky island , more distant so light grey.

Love trams. I loved them in Nottingham and have recently fallen in love with Montpellier trams too.

Tram in Montpellier, this one painted in shades of gold and bronze.

Tram going through major square in Montpellier. It is decorated all over with brightly coloured flowers.

And loved this one:

SallyinFrance@sallyinfrance· Jul 15

It wasn’t a good example. I think there are plenty that are custom-built though. This one?

SallyinFrance@sallyinfrance· Jul 14

They still do? It’s the hallmark of the Caravane surely.

Waiting for the Tour de France in Vicdessos. 32degrees. Excitement building but no helis on the horizon yet.

Sunny street in French Pyrenees with pop up cafe and chairs. People starting to gather for the Tour de France to zoom by. The street has already been closed off.

None of these are inspiring. Where do they get their marketing teams from ?! They all sound much the same:

Beach and sea from my gallery

Sunset over a calm sea and beach. The light is orange on the horizon then blue above. On the right there is the black silhouette of a headland. On the far horizon is another soft grey silhouette, of the mass of a rocky island.

Very pleased to see this:

Been up a mountain today - in the Pyrenees where I live - with ice axes, crampons ‘n all. Am absolutely knackered. Sometimes wonder why I do these things…getting a bit old for it and trying to ignore it 😏
