The week that was 06/2026 🇬🇧🇫🇷
What do a deceased printer, a globe-trotting friend who lives two kilometres away, and a midnight Super Bowl party have in common? They’re all part of my spectacularly uneventful week at home. Click-in and join me as I become obsessed with photo paper, witness French rugby brilliance, and prepare to sacrifice sleep for American football. Warning: contains self-deprecating humor and the kind of productivity that looks impressive until you realise it’s just updating a packing list.
HP printers (not the sauce)
My 10-year-old HP printer died, so I bought a replacement for cheap. Setup took five minutes. It works perfectly. There’s just one problem: the replacement ink costs exactly the same as the entire printer. Welcome to printer economics, where the machines are practically free and the ink costs more than saffron.
Click-in and witness my descent into madness as I realise HP’s business model is basically legal extortion with a USB cable attached.

The month that was – January 2026 🇬🇧🇫🇷
January didn’t so much happen as ambush me. Trips went sideways, tech misbehaved, whisky made executive decisions, and Gran Turismo delivered a swift and public humiliation. Throw in rain, comfort food, and a few hard-won life lessons, and you’ve got a month that deserves a recap — if only as a cautionary tale. Click in.

The week that was 05/2026
One cancelled trip, one heroic rebooking, a whisky-assisted quiz night, and a Gran Turismo performance best described as “career-limiting”. Add an attic, a bruised ego, and a deeply comforting choucroute, and you have Week 05 in all its chaotic glory. Click through for a gently unhinged recap that proves even quiet weeks can derail spectacularly — usually at high speed and with witnesses.

Bullitt 🇬🇧🇫🇷
That iconic Bullitt car chase through San Francisco? Still perfect in 2026. But the airport scenes? They’re basically science fiction now. Join me for a deep dive into Mustangs, Chargers, the golden age of aviation, and why watching Steve McQueen casually walk to a gate without a three-hour security ordeal feels more fantastical than any Marvel movie.
