    About this ebook

    Enough people have asked me to explain myself over the years, that in order to save time, I just wrote a book to explain it all.
    Why I am this way, how my family shaped me, what kind of farm my 80-year-old mom is trying to build, why I don't speak with my father, and why my brother is such a freaking weirdo.
    This will show you why I'm single, why I used to be a drunk, and why my life is a constant tornado of emotions.
    Welcome to it; it's a rollercoaster. And a hilarious one at that.

      Why I can finally STOP WORRYING

      Apr 1, 2021

      Last summer, I bought some dungarees. This is hardly news in itself. They were everywhere. Cute, comfortable, comforting in the chaos of a pandemic. But I had a big – biiiig – birthday coming up in a few months. Could I carry them off? And then came

      Jul 30, 2020

      Where will our tentative steps out of lockdown lead? There is no proven route. Nevertheless, I’m hoping that as you read this, you are sitting on a glorious beach or getting back some sense of normality. It’s not that my head’s in the sand you’re sit
