I have absolutely zero clue why people seem to need a goal or purpose, psychologically. I just need hamburgers and entertainment.

Historically our species thrives in small close-knit communities

We live isolated lives. Most of us don't have meaningful work. It's no wonder that many of us feel this way. In the past, everything you did mattered in the context of a small community. Now, we're all just a number to our employers and an avatar on social media.

My cartoon for the books page in this week’s @theguardian.com

Title: Where writers really get their ideas.

A writer, holding a note in his outstretched hand approaches a cart in the park. The front of the cart reads 'Fresh ideas' and a colourful umbrella shades the server who is reaching deep into the body of the cart (much as an ice-cream vendor might) and saying:
"I'm all out of mind-blowing concepts and heart-rending narratives, but I've got an acerbic observation, an unexpected outcome and a couple of amusing notions."

Got to admit that a the "low pressure" option on an electric shower in a typical Scottish AirBnB is an unnecessary feature *dribble*
