Spring has sprung, summer has summered and now the autumn must autumble on down so that the trees can be relieved of their leaves and have a bit of a rest (I do not speak tree but those who do say holding leaves up is exhausting for them and feels much like taking your bra off at the end of the day).1There’s no escaping the fact that as time jotters on we find ourselves less sure of the world we are in - it is a complex, confusing and disorientating space; unwound and disintegrated more and more

Read excerpt
I get it, you’re old now. No-one knows who you are any more so when it comes to birthdays or Christmases the range of available gifts that feel suitable to wrap for you is severely diminished: the well-intentioned thoughts are narrowed to shower things, a packet of whatever vice you’re known to take (smokes? whisky?

Improper Instructions: Fly Me To The Moon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
