Down with billionaire stadium owners crushing the ability of artists to speak about the things artists have always spoken about. And please, UK government, it is time to stop supplying fighter jet equipment made in Lancashire to the Israeli air force. My grandmother escaped the Holocaust. It is not antisemitism to recognise oppression. Free Palestine.

Heathrow. Terminal 5. Wagamama. Awaiting double tofu firecracker curry. I am off to Spain. I am always in Spain but this time is different. Doing my first EVER events there. Barcelona tomorrow. Madrid. Wednesday. I am so excited. I see myself as a Spanish author who just happens to be English writing in English in England with an entirely English sensibility. But otherwise, you know, Spanish. And apparently The Midnight Train has sold more in two weeks than my last book did there in total. I hate airports though. I miss my family. When you are alone airports sometimes hold a sadness that hums like static. I am happy. I am sad. I am excited. No te preocupes, está todo bien. ¡Viva Espaňa!

Just donated to the @rnli as I have always admired them and they are losing support from weak-minded racists who don’t like them saving the lives of their fellow humans. What is this England you are proud of you silly boys, if it doesn’t include heroes saving lives?

27 years ago to the week I tried to end my life so to commemorate this I thought I would go out and see how far I could run in 27 minutes and the answer is 5.3 k which isn’t exactly elite but a good deal better than I would have been able to do in 1999. Stay alive. Stay moving. Stay uncertain in the face of the certainty of depression. Happy Sunday!
