💭 To understand me a little better

Good to know about me
I cry at births, adverts, and dogs reunited with owners.
How I find communication easier
Just be straight with me.
What gives me energy
Cold water and a hot flask.

💛 Things I love, can't get enough of, or have been dreaming about

A proper changing robe
The big toggle kind.
A flask that actually holds heat
Most lie. This one doesn't.

🙅 Things that aren't really for me

Heated swimming pools
Where's the achievement?

⭐ A few of my favourite things

Favourite books

The Salt Path — Read it in one sitting.

Favourite places

The sea, 6.04am, October — Pink sky, no one about.

🧰 Tips & life hacks I can share

Don't be a hero.
