I’d have to disagree. I’m over 60 and basically healthy. I’m slightly overweight now and take one pill a day to control an enlarged prostate but that’s it.

Now I absolutely process the world. I’m married, I had three children and have suffered the usual share of family dramas / estrangements. I’ve been made redundant, run my own business, struggled to make ends meet, seen my wife suffer health issues (brain tumor, ovarian cyst, knee damage, etc.) and made and lost friends. I’m atheist, socialist and paid both a mortgage and rent. I am currently enraged by the rise of fascism and terrified for my children’s future but I wouldn’t call that mental illness. I still sleep at night, get up in the morning, try to live a good life and make a difference in my community. I’ve never been in therapy and I have had times of deep sadness and times of immense joy.

I doubt very much that I’m unusual.

I had Monty Python’s ‘Matching Tie And Hankerchief’ which had two side As.

I didn’t think it through that much.

Not at all. It’s all down to one’s personal view of what is ‘bad’, plus they’re the first things that came to mind!

The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It’s always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.

Why were you sent here? See below.

Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.

Greed: you shoplifted from a small ‘Mom & Pop’ store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn’t count).

Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.

Lust: you propositioned your spouse’s younger sibling (and got turned down).

Envy: you keyed your neighbour’s new car.

Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.

Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.

We watched ‘Black Doves’ on Netflix and it was excellent: drama, humour, a decent mystery and excellent acting. Hoping there’ll be a second series.

Also, and as always, I’ve dipped back into my favourite episodes of DARK, also on Netflix. Still my favourite show of all time and the best thing I’ve seen on TV in the last 50 years.

Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).
