Thirty seconds ago. I cry a lot. I find great solace in it.
I had a little weep with joy 11 years ago when Thomas and Sarah had their IVF twins, safe and sound and perfect.
When I read the story of a blind, bisexual goose called Thomas who had died in New Zealand after a lifetime of love for a swan called Henry. It sounds ridiculous but is entirely true.
I cry every day. Sometimes out of frustration. I do grieve my mum, so I allow the grief to sit until it’s not there any more.
That further lessons await.
Somewhat disconcerting, but not unpleasant.
My local Tesco stopping stocking Häagen-Dazs Peanut Butter Crunch.
That rather assumes I have grown up.
Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim, which was one of the set texts for my English literature A-level. I have almost finished it.
Male, average height.
