‘Squash/cordial. Even the fancy Bottlegreen stuff is pennies per glass. I can waltz into Sainsburys and get the very finest in diluting juice like I’m living the high life for less than a gastropub pint.’

‘Just walking. We are so fucking spoiled when it comes to places to walk. Either urban or rural. So much neat old stuff everywhere. A million stories tucked away in every corner. Some sickeningly pretty landscapes just an hour out of most cities or large towns. But also some weirdly charming bleak shitholes. Kinda love those places.’

‘Doing a good deed for others. I’ve had a terrible couple of years with people who have shown me just how cruel the world can be. Had a lot of random strangers lately do nice things for me, or just take the time to talk to me. Just really restored my faith in humanity and met some really charming characters who I’ll probably not see again.
So I’ve started paying it back – monetary and free love to people who look like maybe they just need a bit of kindness right now.’
