You know how people say “If you were going to die in a year, what would you do?” to gauge what it is you should be doing in life? It doesn’t work on me. At all. I get even more confused.

I’m feeling a bit of a stunned mullet this week, please excuse my not dropping in.
On Tuesday morning I was woken by F.’s phone buzzing even though I told him to please turn that thing off when we are sleeping because I don’t want to get beamed at my most vulnerable.

Oh, and for those of you who’ve been moaning I make stuff you can’t pronounce, it’s gare-m-kner-dil.
