Sat down for 20 minutes between sorting, tidying and cleaning and have been bitten to death by 'moustique tigrées" despite being liberally sprayed with 'long-lasting' repellant. I think stronger chemical warfare is required 🦟🔥

I got up too late to go for the planned walk today. So decided to tidy the spare bedroom for guests coming in 2 wks. Ended up emptying a chest of drawers, which now needs moving. Sorting another, sorting clothes for donation… where does all this stuff come from 😫? And still not finished yet 🙄🫣🤣

Well today’s wanderings took me to Lake Genin, a beautiful, small mountain lake in the Jura. A bit cooler than Annecy yesterday, but probably less crowded that today! Bruised foot, bright pink toes, dangly earrings 🥰 #enjoythelittlethings

Arrrgh! Thought I’d recovered from jet lag. But just woke up after the most horrendous nights “sleep”. But could be due to new duvet, which although lovely and fluffy and light is far too warm for me. Bring on winter!

Windy day at the beach! I’d forgotten how much hard work 2-year olds who are in the “No” stage of development are 🫠 And going through the “fighting a nap but needing one” stage at the same time. God help us all : 3 patient, understanding adults and we’re all exhausted*🤣🤣🤣 *totally fucked

Doing the rounds in CA. Two lakes in as many days. We took Loumi with us today : a big white fluffy dog. First time she’d seen a lake for years (her dad is the fuckwit) she jumped out of the car and lay down in the water immediately. Then happily went swimming🥰 So good to see her enjoying herself 😍
Shaver Lake California : an artificial lake created by a dam. A sandy beach and clear water. Blue sky and pine trees. 

Hot 🥵 Bass Lake : favourite so far. Lots of sandy creeks like this one pine covered mountains on either side. Bright blue sky and very hot.🥵 We were lucky to find a creek with shade Loumi a big white furry dog, in the water. Enjoying her day

A few delays on the 15:40 to Alicante. The pilot's not happy with a couple of things, so it's a tow back to the gate I'm afraid. Shouldn't take long to fix though.

My friend and I escaped from her daughter’s house this evening! We drove past a beautiful building a couple of days ago, discovered it was a Hindu temple, we were invited to share this evening’s family prayers, followed by a meal. We were made so truly welcome. 🥹 A beautiful moment. 🙏

I’m staying with a friend at her daughter’s. I love this girl dearly. She’s highly intelligent, loving and funny. I’ve known her since she was 3 and now she has 2 young sons and she’s a wonderful mother. How she came too marry an emotionally stunted, rightwing fuckwit is beyond me. 😬

1st day in CA. Friend’s daughter booked us into a hotel for the night, very welcome after long day of flying. Checked in 11.45pm (around 27 hours after arriving at Geneva.) Worse than flying to NZ! I slept well, but my friend is suffering from jet lag today. First glimpse of San Francisco… 🤩

Update re California: Theoretically it was possible to change the connecting and return flights. Theoretically. That involved talking to someone before 8.00 am in either India (no answer) UK (opens at 9.00am) France (same) All BA is subcontracted at GVA So we are technically “No-show”

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

A friend sent this just now. The last few days I’ve absolutely felt like giving up. Nothing’s going to change. The good ppl are ignored; only the millionaires, the CEO’s and Israel seem to be the people who are listened to. Being a good person counts for absolutely nothing. We are truly invisible.
