💫 3 things you get joy from:Standup comedy, my relationship with my partner, and Arsenal Football Club.
🧘 A mantra you want to embrace now would be:“Go where you’re loved.”
🔮 One unusual thing that gives you pleasure:Reddit — maybe not that unusual, so I’ll be more specific: r/fontspotting where people upload photos of signs and fonts that they don’t know, and then people identify them in the comments.
🎬 A favourite film / book / artist — that isn't obvious (and why):There’s an old animated film called Hoodwinked that for some reason I watched as a child and I think was the funniest film I ever saw, and I now literally cannot find it on any streaming platform. I think there might be a conspiracy.
🪂 You can add 1 thing on your bucket list today, what is it?Go to all continents before I die.
