Can you breathe through your nose right now? Cherish it, make a montage in your head of you spinning in a swirl of starry almond blossoms as ‘Days’ by The Kinks plays, interspersed with shots of you laughing on a windswept beach, the sun adoringly buttering your skin (I am on Covid day 9)

WOW OK so the toothless American ‘passed’ can now be used all over the office to convey bereavement with impunity but when I say he’s ‘gone to join the skeleton war’ I’m ‘insensitive’ and ‘please RSVP to HR’

Man I hate it when the free subscription to the body runs out. I used to drink until 2am, get four hours sleep, do a day’s work then gig in the evening. Now if I don’t take 14 supplements before going to sleep AND upon waking the silent hill music plays every time I take the stairs

A couple are worried about their daughter, but are assured she's just going through a phase. However PHASE stands for Portal to Hazardous Alternate Superstructure Environments and she is having adventures as an amazon air-pirate princess fighting pterosaurs and molemen.

This bout of Covid got me living like it’s Boxing Day. Wake up periodically from a sleep, hunt around for random foods like a handful of blueberries, wonder vaguely what time or day it is, rewatch more I, Claudius, go back to bed.
