Am at #Fespaco2019, #BurkinaFaso. 165 films in 7 days. The opening ceremony is fun. My school girl French is holding up. If I plan it right I might get to see the excellent #aKasha by @hajooj again. #BucketList item fulfilled.

Decided to try #OatMilk. Bought @Alpro and @OatlyUK for comparison. Alpro is disgusting & leaves a funny taste. Oatly is so yummy I can drink it in a glass on its own! #SmallSteps #MoooveOver

“Fuck business”. Neither @BorisJohnson nor any of these Brexiteers cares about jobs. That why we flyposted this billboard round from the Jaguar Land Rover factory two weeks ago. RT to send solidarity to all Nissan workers and countless others in limbo because of Brexiteer lies.
