None of that when offices open next week! Social distancing norms are apparently slow to reach France's snail community. Seen on this morning's baguette run. #Deconfinement11Mai

Any requests? Mojo preparing for Fête de la Musique. Post lockdown, I'm finding that it's the little things that are worth the most. Time to be #grateful Also, #kiakaha to those who are still suffering or grieving.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. #flygate

#ArcDeTriomphe hovers over the globe, a few seconds after #Biden2020 grabs lead in #Pennsylvania. Mr President-Elect, please bring the USA back into the #ParisAgreement for the climate. #COP21

Hold on a second: is that #PrinceHarry helping out with the vote counting in #Pennsylvania ? (photo from NYTimes)

Seen at #LaDefense. It should be "LES E.U." not "LES US" surely bernard pivot. Tisk tisk. On perd notre latin. Shades of "Romanes Eunt Domus" in Life Of Brian by #MontyPython : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_it…

It all starts with a plane, a poem and the most beautiful city in the world. Paths cross in the streets of Paris, from the fountain of Saint-Michel to the Place des Vosges. A non fiction tale of #love by Adam Cutforth Adam Cutforth frictions.co/english/love-b…

excellent nouvelle et bravo Walid Hajar Rachedi Ryad Maouche et l'équipe. FRICTIONS recognised as an online press service. Keep up the good work, digital entrepreneurs, journalists and writers.

#PinkFloyd's #DarkSideOfTheMoon has informed my guitar playing since... the 80s. In 2011, for #AirLiquide's mag alizé, Dark Side inspired our cover. This week's Economist - my weekly news fix since 2002 - revisits the rock icon, with an epic pun to boot.

Une mini-série à écouter aussi en #podcast sur Frictions et vos plateformes de streaming habituelles ! 😉 #Brésil

For my English-speaking friends: this story, by Walid Hajar Rachedi, is also in Shakespeare's language, and it's a #GoodRead. Take a trip, in your mind's eye, to #RiodeJaneiro and consider the life & aspirations of those born in the favelas.

Holy cow, phone starts beeping & flashing with this "Emergency Alert". Tsunami? Asteroid? No. Someone with Covid visited town this week. OMG. Left almost-normal Europe mid-Aug; NZ feels like it's gone back 18 months, to when FEAR was the predominant comm' theme #OverItBigTime

Write more. "Writing is often the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about." Thank you #farnamstreet @ShaneAParrish

Climb more. Give in to your inner child and climb a tree occasionally. Doing so this morning gave me a magic moment above the Hatea river in my hometown #whangarei

Early morning encounter with this #snail, one of NZ's estimated 1400 species of snails & slugs! Crossing road to another part of Parihaka's forest. Nature rocks. #whangarei #LoveItHere

Devant l'Alliance Française à Auckland, on attend notre tour pour voter. La pression culinaire monte... #VoterMacaron
