Think they may have blocked me maybe. What was it?

Charming, cheeky, and unexpectedly moving, "Idle in Provence" is Eric Idle at his best—hilarious, candid, and unforgettable.

I will be at the Henley Book Festival tonight in conversation with Simon Williams about my book, my life in France and La vie en rosé. Still some room, so if you find yourself idle come and join me.

The hire car I have keeps recognising all the road signs, half of which are entrances to other roads... and then flashing and beeping at me for doing 40 mph on a "20". When the road markings vanish and come back, it tries to "lane assist" me into incoming traffic. Annoying.

Looking forward to my events in the UK to celebrate my book 'Idle in Provence', and I'm excited that I'll be speaking to Dan Schreiber on Saturday 19th of September and my old pal Sanjeev Bhaskar on Monday 21st of September in London. Grab your tickets over at Idleinprovence.com. Can't wait.

I would hate to be a chef... First, you have to buy the food. Then cut it up, cook it.... Then you’ve got to apologise to the people you serve it to.

From what I've experienced, it's actually the older folk who speaking up about climate change because they have lived to experience those changes first hand. The 40-60s seem to be the least bothered or the ones in denial about it. Young people care because we have to deal with it the consequences.

I spoke to some elderly people at work and they all agreed that summer temperatures have become worryingly hot in the last 10 years or so. 1976 was also hot, yes. But these summers are becoming like this almost every year now. That is NOT normal. It's not too late to stop it from getting worse.

Someone told me to stop complaining. This is the view from our house last night towards several villages on fire. Never stop complaining! This is not normal.

And you weren't even complaining about that... but the anti climate changers. Big difference.

Oh I love those Pat Barker books. She is a fine novelist. It’s The Iliad from a female perspective, both moving and illuminating. Read them.. ..

Damn! I forgot this was so good. I love writing and reading. Need to get back into it again soon. "It's one thing to challenge science, but to claim our struggles, our innovations and our creations. There is nothing I find more insulting."

Agreed. It's a shame not many people know about it. Just seen the dvd has an audio commentary, so might have to buy it.

I liked that show. Aways thought it potential but just wasn't executed very well.

Just finished Clarkson's Farm Season 5. I actually think it's better than the Grand Tour for entertainment value. It was also the last place I expected to hear "Always Look on The Bright Side of Life" being played.

I know. She didn't live too far away from me. I hated her views and disliked her as a person, but the comments celebrating murder are vile. Political violence is wrong regardless of the side. I hope this isn't the motivation or else we're in real trouble.

Same with weight loss and fitness. Someone asks how you lose weight and you tell them you started running and calorie counting etc. Then 6 months later they say "You're so lucky. You have skinny genes." No, actually I worked my ass off... thank you very much.

Something that bugs me. The same people who shrug when I tell them about the ways I save and my mini side hustles. 6 months later ask me how I can afford a holiday claim I'm "lucky" and "well off". I'm not. I earn less than £1K a month. I worked hard and saved up... don't be ignorant. It's rude.

A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't run for 30 seconds without getting out of breath. Now I'm on Week 3 of Couch To 5K and have just completed my first 3 minute run without stopping. So proud of myself.
Strava time layered on top of photo of running shoes.

0.46km distance. Pace 6:47/km. Time 3 minutes 8 seconds.

Kier Starmer isn't the problem... If a PM doesn't operate as a puppet offering freedom to the press and tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, Murdoch & the press will launch a barrage of toxicity and won't stop until they get someone to serve them.

We are turning into 'Trumpton on sea'. No longer do we engage in respectful, civil discussions about different political views and ideas. Instead, we push each other away and blame whoever we are told to blame. It's sad and rather frightening.
