Let's celebrate #DarwinDay by reminding ourselves that everyone has moments when they feel worse for wear.
Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell in 1861:
"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."

RIP Bud Cort. Harold and Maude is one of my favourite movies of all time and he’s spectacular in it. If you haven’t seen it, don’t find out anything about it. Just watch it.
