Anyone who thinks the pandemic is an attack on their freedom coordinated by every country, government and health service in the world has never tried to get five band members to arrive at the airport at roughly the same time.

Needing to pee in a screening of desert epic Lawrence of Arabia, Herbert journeyed from a mid-row seat past easily-angered cinephiles and was struck with the idea for the “sandwalk”.

@MikeBoaks Amazing!

Today, with two hours notice, a guy picked up a side table he purchased from me seven months ago on an online marketplace for $20. I was deeply intrigued - so many delays - but he barely said hello.

I can't stop thinking about what would have happened if I'd chucked it out.

2. I’m gonna film a year-long training montage of me getting my shower-to-downstairs-front-door time down from 33 seconds to 15 and give it to him next Christmas. There’ll be all the highs and lows - I’ll even give up, cry at some point - but he will be proud of me, damn it.

1. In the doorway wearing a shirt inside out and a towel at 8am, I called out to my regular boomer DHL guy and he reluctantly got out of the van and came back with my package, shook his head, deeply disappointed and said “that was far too long to answer the door.”

So now…

This was such great news to get from @ANightOfHorror halfway through a 30-hour commute between countries.

Huge thanks go to @tristanviney for suggesting an insane opening image and encouraging me to push this story as far out of control as it could go!

Returning to my full-time position of Terrified Man Who Sits In House On Writing Deadline isn’t quite the same after the last few months of this business.

Thanks to @sleepmakeswaves and their incredible team for putting me in to shoot a few hoops. xo

Hell of a weekend.
