The stunningly beautiful Basilica di Santa Croce in Lecce, Puglia. Inside, almost no surface is left without decoration, demonstrating the skill of the artists and stone masons and the deep pockets of their sponsors.

As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Ozymandias
Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

A few years ago, while apologising to a French lawyer about Brexit, I said that the British had overtaken the Americans for having the most stupid population in the world. Now the Americans have again moved well into the lead. No other country could hope to compete.

The first heat pump in the UK was installed in Norwich in 1945 but today only 1% of UK households currently use heat pumps. In fact, the UK has just 412 heat pumps per 100,000 people compared to the European average of 3,068. The problem? A huge public knowledge gap about heat pumps in the UK.

Sunset in North Lincs yesterday. Not my best photo as it was taken out of a car window. I just wanted to record the sky.

Finally the rain has stopped falling and has been replaced by clear, sunny skies and freezing temperatures. We seem to have ice ferns (trees?) on our windows.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Probably the most famous sequence of “The Great Dictator” is the five-minute speech that concludes the film. Here Chaplin drops his comic mask and speaks directly to the world, conveying his view that people must rise up against dictators and unite in peace.

Today’s weather : clear skies but freezing temperatures, roads mainly cleared of snow but frozen snow piled up. Mist is now descending as the sun goes down.

Looks like all of Belgium is covered in snow this morning, having snowed on and off since yesterday evening. Currently just above freezing but we have about 8 cm of snow chez nous.
