‘Ripped’

This bit is about having a fantastic partner and baby, finding a rewarding job, living a full-on life and then, needless to say, F-ing everything up – completely.

Even so, there are plenty of belly-laughs and tall tales on the way to a wheelchair

Just for a moment I lost myself (though it proved a LONG moment). Luckily like the brain’s neurons they prove hard to kill. They just go into hibernation ready to be reborn.

‘Tragedy’

IMGIn Lyon, France

Here on Tralfamadore, the luxury of seeing Time laid out abstractly but immutable shows you that sometimes things don’t entirely go to plan …

This is the bit when our hero learns the hard way that actions have consequences and that true love actually means letting go (or it becomes suffocating for the other) … while he tastes the ashes in his mouth. Think the end of The Shield rather than Mary Poppins.

The birth of Millennium

This bit is about Millennium coming into the world.

We were told (confidently) that for racial-genetic reasons, we were going to get a Chinese looking boy. So imagine our surprise when Millennium turned out to be a ginger haired girl! (and needless to say she was born well before the millennium).

Morisons

(I inexplicably review the audio book of the Morrissey auto-biography by winding back to being just 17 years old and standing less than a foot away from the nascent super-star, young Morrissey, singing in a smoky seaside nightclub – and only being there because ‘they were from Manchester and therefore must be like Joy Division’).
