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)”

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.

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

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.

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.
