We are in Crete, and we’ve been adopted by a cat. She sits on us for hours on end, follows us around, and miaows pitifully when we go inside. We named her Artemis (Artie) and she’s so smart she’s already answering to it. Guess I’m going to be bawling on the flight home then.

Today I went to a breast cancer clinic because my left boob was under investigation for attempted murder, but by 2pm it was cleared of all charges. No cancer for me today! Joy!

I just came back from a couple of days in a cabin in the woods of north Norfolk. I am now suffering from major post-cabin blues. I cannot remember the last time I was so far from light pollution it was possible to photograph the stars (you can see Orion in the fourth pic!)

I often worry that I have time blindness, but after seeing a man last night get off the tube, go to the fence at the side of the platform, start pissing, then hear the BEEPBEEPBEEP of the doors closing and dash back onto the train *still pissing*, I’m feeling less concerned.

I will be joining some other weirdos this evening at Fabrica Brighton where we’ll be talking about death. Specifically I’ll be talking about my book, This Party’s Dead, the seven festivals for the dead I visited and how I got hit in the head by a dancing corpse. (Sold out, but there is a waitlist!)
