And now for that break

Back soon In the meantime I will leave you with a photo from 208, a cairn on one of the Paps of Anu in Ireland. I know it's apeared here before but what harm in the odd repeat!

Time for a break

Will take a break from posting for a little while. There is so much I want to write about,  particularly about Hungarian PM Orban and his increasing despotism but I am not in the mood.

Back soon.
Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani has appeared as one of a number of participants  in a film called Corps et Ames.

Like Aliaa El Mahdy did last year,  Gofishteh is making a powerful statement about cultural policies in Iran and particularly the status of women in that country.

The Iranian regime has had a hissy fit and she has basically been told not to return to the country.

Like Aliaa El Mahdy I salute Golshifteh's action. It is her body, her right and her choice.

Under the weather

Robyn  has been under the weather. I took him to the vet on Tuesday but mercifully the vet  considered him to be in good shape for a cat who is not far off being an eighteen year old!
