A few recent sad things:
- this piece by Grace Dent in the Guardian at the weekend. Like her I’m letting go of trying to recreate the Christmas my now deceased parents used to give me
- this song by Lana Del Ray that my kids love so much. She can really bring the emotion
- the dream I had where I was working in the Imperial College bookshop, advising a young bald man in a camper van not to drop out in his fourth year
