I seem to be having one of those months where a lot of people who made an impact on me of one sort or another have died.

A tribute to the 90 persons who were killed at the Bataclan ( Paris ) there were 4 years ago ; they were not stars , only simple people wanted to hear their preferate music ; them and their families deserve a "passings" ...

I can't believe that was 4 years ago. It still feels so raw.

Raymond Poulidor (1936-2019), France, former professional cyclist.
His nickname was 'The Eternal Second', which he particularly had earned for finishing three times second and five times third in the Tour de France. One other particular detail : he never wore a yellow jersey in the Tour, despite his long career (he only stopped aged 41).
During this career, he had to cope first against Anquetil, then against Merckx. but despite often being 'second', he won the Spanish Vuelta in 1964, and several classics and smaller multi-day events like Paris-Nice and Dauphiné-libéré.

Yes, glad you've posted that Phlebas, it's a thought-provoking case -
' more young women “owning” their sexuality
and being unafraid of asking for what they wanted – or didn’t want' -
I think that's true, and good - but as this sad case shows,
there are risks, drink, drugs, or sheer sadism, can make it all go terribly wrong.

The first of his cartoons I ever saw, at the age of 8, sneaking a peek at a book in the grownup section of the local library.
I will now adjourn to soak in a warm bath of nostalgia.
