The replies are superb…
Guardian journalists are on strike. In solidarity, here are the articles I refuse to link to:
- I say return our looted culture to Cro-Magnon France
- I thought I was dying - but I'd just skipped lunch!
- Finally, at 36, I understand old age

Life is hard, and then you die. But I saw a bobbin’ robin this morning and it made me SO happy…
I really need to get better at finding pleasure in being alive and simply existing, rather than constantly thinking "If I can just get through this ordeal..." and "If I can just get past that deadline..." Then what? The next ordeal or deadline, and repeat, until death?
