Have finally realised that instead of having an Americano with milk, I can have a cappuccino and enjoy it more.

Lyric of the day: Where the blue of the sea meets the sky, And the big yellow sun leads me home. I'm everywhere now, The way is a vow, To the wind of each breath by and by. The water sustains me without even trying. The water can't drown me, I'm done, With my dying. Johnny Flynn 'The water'

when people say ill/disabled people talk too much of it, I want to say: pain, illness & disability re-shape the entire world around you. the body detached from any understandings you had. pain can become the world. to not talk of it is to deny a large part of our everyday life that requires language

Lyric of the day: 'You were so smart then In your jacket and coat. My softest red scarf was warming your throat. Winter was on us At the end of my nose. And I'll never love England more than when covered in snow.' Laura Marling 'Goodbye England (Covered in Snow)'
