If you had only one day left to live, how would you spend it — and what would you deliberately avoid doing?
Recorded Luke Pritchard said elsewhere, not written here
My last afternoon would be spent with my friends. Nothing spectacular, just good times. We’d maybe walk through Soho in London getting a little loaded and making it up as we go along. Some good rum and that’s all.

Probably doing really boring family things like watching old movies with the family and a big box of tissues just waiting for the clock to go ‘ding…that’s the end of the world’.

To be honest, if it was my last day on Earth doing any type of work would probably be the last thing on my mind. So I don’t think there would be any professional endeavours on the last day on Earth. But, I’ve been to the North Pole so you might as well throw in the South Pole. Gotta check out the South Pole.

The rest of that night is a feverish blur. I asked to talk to my mom; had a slice of chocolate cake; prayed. I remember waking up every few hours and seeing my mother praying by my bedside, then every nurse in the hospital, and then every cleaning staff member who loved my father for his kindness toward them throughout the years — all praying for me.

If the rain held off, I’d walk down to Lough Ine, stopping at the shrine to say a few words to Herself and rile a few fairies. I’d take a sloop out, do a few perimeters and have a chat with Labhrai Loinsigh. I’d maybe walk up furry mountain and take in the view.
