Retired software engineer & woodworker.
Anglo-francophone.
Detest tories. Subscribe to green, leftish radical politics but not to any particular political party!.
Love the EU and all it stands for, moreover, I spent the last 10 years of my career working at an EU agency.
Enthusiastic photographer, especially wildlife and most especially butterflies.
Slightly knowledgeable gardener.
Atheist; loathe almost all religions and pity the people deluded enough to follow them. I make exceptions for Buddhism as it isn't really a religion in the strictest sense of the word as it doesn't postulate the existence of any god, and Jainism which is the epitome of peace.
For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.

I must confess that when I was younger I expected the future to have more robot butlers and jetpacks, and less plague and fascism, but here we are.
I cannot stand the palate-cloyingly sugary shit with which they fill mince pies these days so I have started making my own mincemeat to a recipe used by Auguste Escoffier; chef de cuisine at the Savoy at the turn of the 19th/20th century. His recipe contains no added sugar at all, but a fair bit of alcohol as indeed it should (to preserve it).
If anyone is interested, the recipe can be found here:

Ooooo - the first sleet of the winter is falling in my little corner of Luxembourg!

Right @BritishGas, do you wish to comment on this, please?
I call on every customer who is with @BritishGas_UKB to cancel their contract, this needs to stop.
The @GOVUK are doing very little to stop these Theifing fat cats. Now, we need to act as a people

Nice thing about Mastodon: It's one of the extremely rare web pages I visit where my ad blocker doesn't need to do anything.

Tory peer Michelle Mone reportedly pocketed £29m of public money for unsafe PPE. The Lords must kick her out of Parliament and force her to pay back every penny. Agree? Join me and sign the petition now: https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/expel-michelle-mone-lords-petition
