Leftwing Idiot’s been away for the last few weeks, making a film. He got back earlier today.

I’ve written before about the challenges of being in the flat on my own at night. Right now it’s the opposite that’s worrying me.…

When I was out and about with Bunny earlier she stopped to buy some chocolate and I grabbed some tic tacs and then we headed for the Tube. I haven’t had tic tacs for a while and I hadn’t foreseen that I wouldn’t be able to control the urge to spit them out.…

Yesterday afternoon I went with Fat Sister, King Russell and Poppy to a UK Uncut demonstration against the proposed Health and Social Care Bill. The Bill is due in the House of Lords later this week, and if it were passed it would lead to the break up and privatisation of the NHS.…

I got a surprise package through the post this morning. I was excited to find it contained a tic-inspired drawing by my artist friend Belle Benfield. Her drawing was inspired by “Archive your pussy”, a potentially very rude tic which Belle had skilfully turned into a beautiful and funny image.…

My new lair officially became mine earlier today. I picked up the keys this afternoon and along with Bunny and Poppy headed off to let myself into my new home for the first time. We bought smoothies from a nearby café and sat on my living room floor to enjoy them.…

TH: I’m not a big fan of autumn.
Poppy: I am. I love autumn, me.…

Poppy moved out of Leftwing Idiot’s flat today where we’ve both been staying since we moved out of the lair last month. Her new flat isn’t far away and I’m glad she’s been able to get settled before she heads back to college.…

The other day I wrote about the pitfalls of falling in the countryside, but they’re nothing compared with those of falling in the city. Today while I was out with Bunny I dropped to the ground and catapulted forward. To avoid damaging my face I concentrated on trying to roll onto my back.…

I injured my hand at some point while I was away and I was having it checked out earlier by a doctor I’d not met before. Fat Sister came with me. The doctor was very friendly and unfazed by Tourettes. He took my medical history and asked me some questions and then he said: “I assume you don’t work.”…

The van I slept in has no windows so when I woke up in this morning I had no idea what sort of day it was. I sent Leftwing Idiot a text to say I was awake and he came to help me get up.…
