If I only knew...
Early one. Up betimes and off for a screening. This means a cheek-to-cheek journey into work on one of the capital’s tube lines. Eyes closed, headphones in, try not breath that guy’s germs. And that woman who is blowing her nose in your ear.
Electric blue for me
Hey look it’s Wednesday already and cool, cloudy and DISAPPOINTING you have to say. Nearly Flaming June and very little to show for it. A few more of your precious degrees please Mr Celsius (you too Mr Fahrenheit)
