I’m pretending America doesn’t exist for a few days. Any talk of “momentous political events stateside” is, of course, a reference to Germany. Germany has States.

EXCLUSIVE sneak preview of new film by Adam Curtish! youtu.be/yIn7bh0gU-w?si… via @YouTube


Netflix is plugging me a "murder mystery in the Australian Alps". Presumably part of the mystery is how, when you're hiking from Krajnska Gora to the Laghi di Fusine via Arnoldstein on a perfectly clear day, if you take a wrong turn you can find yourself in Yarrangobilly.

Another excellent blog from @chrisgreybrexit Long may it continue! Its references are always helpful and thoughtful, with astute analysis, especially of UK.

Britain's Brexitism test. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The tone of UK-EU relations is improving, but any 'reset' will be limited unless & until Brexitism is marginalized, and YMS, ECHR, and Gibraltar provide some tests of that: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/britai…

What’s happening? Everyone can reply.


Having so much fun learning one language, in another I accidentally buy a novel on relay.

Every day, I think “There can’t be another pun worse than that.” I love Belgium.

My pick for Summer of Languages- Darren Hayman's melancholy Essex rendition of glam 1950s Americana #1nt #TerpLove

How about a new English tune in your playlist? The final #SoL song from Matthew, the EN booth: 🎶Darren Hayman’s 2008 cover of Connie Francis’ “V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.” But that's not all - stay tuned for a special surprise tomorrow to close #SummerOfLanguages on a high note!

The Bradys Who Brunch: it's like The Brady Bunch, but with annoying gossip and too much prosecco.


I told the passport officer I was grateful for their work because I collect stamps. They replied “Philately will get you everywhere.” And then I woke up wishing I could remember the joke.


Arriving in the south of France (on the night train, bien sûr), a physio centre next to Toulon station gives me the title of my next workshop: “Rééducation et réathlétisation (de votre retour)”
