My word for 2024 will be creativity. Will try to write more and now have my novel turn into a Chinese Democracy (although, to be fair, it did eventually come out!). Inspired by Axl Rose. (The good bits, not the bad bits.)

I wonder if W. Axl Rose is a baker. It’s a delightfully idiosyncratic thought: sitting down to a slice of sponge prepared by the lead singer of Gunners. You know it would be perfect. He’s a massive…

In another amusing twist of fate or destiny or conditioning I’ve bought the same kitchen table as my parents to go with matching knifes and our bread tin a set of sheets so many things it’s dirty on the underside with old wine when I thought I was so clean dust in the bathroom like mum’s I guess it is conditioning Photo by Paco S on Unsplash

sometimes think I am the person who doesn’t notice other people don’t get along because they see me lollop up to their relationship like an enthusiastic puppy so they smile pretend because they don’t want to hurt my feelings or destroy a loyal naivety of course might just be overthinking and egotising after all would anyone change their behaviour for me?

it came in the night driving and thick a vertical virtual wall of precipi… tation - wind rumples through the eves crunkling the cardboard taped to my ceiling “spielkiste” from the last time - my spiders watch from the opposite corner of the room their spindly legs like stripped upside down umbrellas - dehumidifier hums on 80% carpets still feel damp - the rains are here again Photo by Anna Atkins on Unsplash

he asked what supplements I was taking don’t believe in them I said but omega, magnesium, muti-B, C, zinc we talked about kim gordon, the prodigy, nine inch nails, I didn’t admit I’d deliberately listened to phil collins that day although it arguably says more about my health -or otherwise than a handful of encapsulated vitamins and whether I’m a nose breather at night
