My brother who had terminal cancer took the decision to end his treatment. He waited till we all got there. He told us he wanted it to be very quick - that night It took 3 days. 3 dreadful days. I am very pleased the #AssistedDyingBill is was passed in the commons.

Walking home down the road I often cycle down. First delivery rider on what’s basically an electric motorbike zooms down the cycle lane. Then young lad zooms on electric scooter in wrong direction. “You should be on the other side” I say. “Fuck off you weirdo” he replies Nice

The Overton Window has shifted

4½ months ago I nearly nearly died. Since then: 5 months’ work in 3, not a single day off. Knackered. Now finally on holiday. Sunbed, swimming, romcoms, & my fave round-the-world top. Still off the booze. Digital detox for 10 days. See you on t’other side.
