St Fiacre, 15th century, made in Nottingham or Meaux (Met Museum)

This is the gardener-saint who also lent his name to the language as 'un fiacre', a taxi. A delightful piece of alabaster work.

Some Indo-European have been quite mischievous. 🤪

Languages and translations:

: les hiboux (the owls)

: Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften (legal protection insurance companies)

: você lê (you read)

Do you know more instances of language mischief? Let me know!

He argues that #French #diplomacy continuously changed over the centuries, which can be seen as a sign of modernisation.
While #emdiplomacy was originally regarded as part of a more general service to the king, it slowly developed into a more specialised field of activity. From this the need to a much more profecient education of #emdiplomats arose. (3/6)

“It’s important to mention that we are no longer defending the French language,” [Minister] Roberge told a news conference in Montreal. “We’re going on the offensive, no, not against anyone, but to regain lost ground and reverse the decline of French.”

We watched Deerskin (Le Daim) on Ch4 last night. Nicely nutty French film about a guy who buys a jacket...

It's brilliantly bizarre. We both loved it. 👍🙂

Good morning to readers, #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Russia 's 3am attacks do not only physical damage.

Frequent strikes have caused collective harm to the psyche of millions of Ukrainians: wounds without physical marks.

The reason? Their spouses are accustomed to extramarital affairs.
