I feel like a the rhythm of walking helps to moderate my thinking too. I make better decisions when walking, I’m calmer, I work things out. I’ve made key life decisions on long walks, and my partner and I deliberately take walks to work out difficult stuff. Great recommendation.

I know right?! Grandpa always taught me: choose the right tool for the job.

I once enjoyed a delicious Colombian meal at a street table in Seven Sisters, north London. Shortly after the food arrived two men got into an altercation on the street, both acting like complete arseholes. One of them then disappeared off for 5 minutes and returned with a claw hammer he’d bought from a nearby hardware shop. He attacked the man half-arsedly with the claw hammer for a while then wandered off, but not far. Then the police turned up, and did a terrible job of working out who hammer man was. It was very entertaining, and the man who was being attacked with the hammer was not really injured. Dinner and a show 🤌

Wish you the best of luck with your studies. I’m in the UK and so graduated as a Cum Lord which is still good, but no help to you. Either way- you can do it! ♥️

I’ve been #2 all day 🫥

Fried cheese. Fucking fuck yes.

We had a fish and chip shop opposite the pool. I don’t think I have eaten anything better than those salty vinegary chips, the childish exhaustion and hunger made them absolutely magical.

Madeira is pretty cool. The runway is on stilts, the approach is tricky and requires training, the cafe has a big balcony so you can watch the pilots do a tricky landing on a stilted runway with a beer.

0. Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.

Incontinentia… Incontinentia Buttocks.

This is a distinct symptom of dementia. Really upsetting to see.

Miniature gm giraffe, about waist height. Cantering about with its tiny blue tongue. I love that little freak.

When I’m running out of books I start asking anyone interesting that I’m talking to what they are reading. If they are into that book I buy it on the spot, while we’re still talking. Occasionally they are reading something completely shit, but I’ve hit some gems. Then you have something in common with that person which is a bonus.

Do crazy slutty makeup sometimes, just to feel crazy and slutty.

Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. So fascinating. https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life

I have a cube of tungsten at work that is 40mm x 40 mm, it is comedically heavy. This thing would be nuts.

This is known as a thought terminating cliché. They can be more than just annoying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché

Imagine thinking that you’re tougher than context.
