| Introduction | @labellejournée, a gloss: this Twitter handle is roughly translated from French to ‘the beautiful daytime’. Or even more roughly (and anglicised), ‘beautiful day’, which is a bi-lingual play on my name as well as a sentiment about embracing the beauty of a single day and the time we have to enjoy all there is around us. Not to say I’m a day-ist. I am just as much of an advocate of the night, the dark journée. |
