Reflecting on seeing father this weekend. People say that you die a thousand times with dementia. I'm very much left with "it's not the despair, it's the hope" feelings. Hurt, betrayed, above all, exhausted.

I once went to an open flat "event" in a block in Clerkenwell and the bedroom had a shower that was in the wardrobe. Mid-naughties trendy London was mad times.

I think you'd find it hard to beat in terms of liminal bleakness. This is Edward Hopper. This is David Lynch.

This works best if there is someone actually trying to kill him, but is always foiled by the hilarious consequences of Ross' comical paranoia.

If it's like the one time I did vodka redbull in the 90s, you're in trouble. Too stimmed to pass out through drink, I lay there with the room spinning end over end all night until it was time to get up. Have only had one redbull since and it gave me the shits during a 5 hour exam.
