Donโ€™t know how much this gets talked about after being a family carer, butโ€ฆalongside the grief, itโ€™s the loss of sense of purpose that can be crippling. Just like grief, it appears out of nowhere. Over two years in and it can still hit me. Like this morning.

Hurrah for drama on the eve of New Yearโ€™s Eveโ€ฆI wrote todayโ€™s #EastEnders, on BBC1 7.30pm tonight or on iPlayer now. Gossiping locals, news for Jean, wedding prep for Suki and Eve and of course everything goes swimminglyโ€ฆ

The office is in the hallway, Betty. Repeat, office is in the hallway. Send help.

Ahh betwixtmas, my annual โ€˜pull every single thing out of one room to rearrange said room but then just get bored and leave it all in the hallwayโ€™ phase. My gusto at the start of these projects is to be admired. Like right nowโ€ฆ

The Cavemanโ€™s Lament
ย 
me think about her when sun rises
me think about her when sun sets
me say to her how much me love her
she tell me love invent not yet
ย 
me make cave all warm and cosy
me lie bearskin on cave floor
me play song of love on bone flute
she choose cave of Tim next door
ย 
me no more go out hunt mammoth
me throw spear too short or long
me sit in cave me paint her pictureย 
she say me got perspective wrong
ย 
me cook meal to show me love her โ€”
diplodocus with fried beans โ€”
she say food anachronistic
me not know what this means
ย 
stone age mighty hard for lovers
yet rub two flints look what you get
small sparks lead to big inferno
but she say love invent not yet


homo unrequitus

Todayโ€™s poem is considered to be the worldโ€™s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus. Itโ€™s called โ€˜The Cavemanโ€™s Lamentโ€™.

Itโ€™s completely unnecessary. Iโ€™m drafting a letter of complaint. Iโ€™m basically drafting anything other than the writing Iโ€™m supposed to be doing.
