Dreary grey & gloomy morning
No warm humans
Step by step deeper into the ravine

A man called Ove

Fell in love with a book.
Now, the book’s finished. And,
I’m lonely again.

And now I’m sad again.

21 years as a small town boy.
12 years in the biggest cities.
Now back settling into a small town, 1000s of miles from my first one.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, you send the heart racing down memory lane every time. How, I love you!

I have vertigo. Quite bad.

I found the worst possible subreddit for me. I can’t stay off it!

Inside us all, is a child.

Some are hiding him. Others, trying to kill him.

Today: Lethargy.

This Week: Weight loss.

This Month: Keeping momentum.

This Year: Getting rich.

Rest of the life: Die trying.

After 57 days of step goal streak…

And doing the hard work of a long walk in the day, distant parking at Tesco, and a post dinner walk…

I missed today’s step target by 38 steps! Fuck fuck fuck!!!

A trip to the loo would’ve sorted that out! Instead I sat down in front of the idiot box and forgot about the target till after the clock had hit 12!

Just 2 days to go for a 2 month streak, and I blundered like that!

Fucking idiot! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!!!

An old acquaintance was cribbing about ads following her on every site, begging Indian e-commerce sites to stop tracking her.

Thought of telling her about remarketing, and advising about blocking 3rd party cookies, using adblockers.

Didn’t.

Didn’t want to be called a mansplainer again.
