The secret to longevity is to do nothing for as long as possible, right?
I am learning how to be unproductive and okay with it.

Oh, just a tiny (massive) gas leak somewhere in my tiny, falling apart flat.
Haha!

I don't need a million pounds, just my son, my cat and hot water.
I'm a simple woman.

Everyone’s introducing themselves, so I'll join in.

I’m an award-winning writer of personal essays living in the north of England. Here are my books (I will talk about them a lot). This is my massive dog (I will talk about her a lot). I’m a pretty harmless presence really.

I'm going to have a shower at a friend's house later.
The logistics involved in this are greater than you'd think.
One can't simply shower.
One must plan each step.
One will not lose one's sh*t.

breaking waves on a shingle beach.

breaking waves on a shingle beach.

Let the sound of the sea take you to sleep. 🎧
Or keep you company while you work. 🎧

Episode 285 - Late October on Chesil Beach (32 mins)

Just the sound of the waves and the pebbles.
No one else around.

To pretend I'm free, I danced a little to Neneh Cherry in the fruit 'n' veg aisle of the local tesco metro.
Given how narrow the aisles are, this was a major health and safety issue.
I'm surprised I wasn't bundled away like a convict.

I am still without hot water and heating due to gas leak.
Waiting for the people who are supposed to call me is making me want to crawl into bed for approximately 3 to 5 business days.
