Catfish

Go and see it. Don't read about it, don't watch anything about it. Be unspoiled, watch it and then come back here because I'm dying to talk about it.

The end of the road

Can't...wrap...anymore...presents. Fingers are bloodied stumps. Hands are covered in ink. Have lost the ruler I was using to tear up the wrapping paper because I've lost the scissors. The sellotape is growing carpet fluff. I need more wine.

Dreams

I dreamed I was running across some paving, running so hard my watch fob fell open. I stopped and stared and thought, I didn't know that could happen. And then I saw a tiny gold key, nestled inside the works of the watch. The key fell and I lost it, got down on my hands and knees and began to search. I couldn't find it, but it was suddenly there, back where it was supposed to be. I closed the watch and went on my way.
