Funny Irish woman.
Not very concise.
High-functioning introvert.
You are your best thing.
So far, getting older has made almost everything better.
Not winning Celebrity MasterChef. I am still gutted, despite many months of pretending to be fine with it.
Clothes moths (and the imminent threat of world war three).
Perimenopausal anxiety, the terrible feeling of impending doom, something awful happening to my children, writing deadlines. Apart from that, I’m quite chilled.
When they ruin my story because they think theirs is better, so butt in before I’ve finished mine.
My Siamese cat, which I had freeze-dried after she died. I really think their future partners will like it.
