Ok, this is where I live

And I can’t possibly afford it. The only things I actually own in this photo are the wires on the floor. They’re good wires. This is the same place from the outside:

And this is a picture of the plant thing that loft style contemporary urban living spaces always seem to have. Everything is designed etc. Nothing is an accident.

Right now, I’m upstairs in the loft bit having not got out of bed all day because I drank about 4 bottles of the finest wines known to humanity last night, and wound up throwing up the crab thing I’d eaten previously, which was a shame in a way becase it was an excellent crab thing. I’ve worked out that I need about £600,000 to live like this forever. Right now though I’ve got… ooh, about -£4000 - which may seem like a lot, but it’s not. I’ve paid off pretty much all my debts now - 4k I can do in one hit. I (like most of my countrymen) have spent most of the 00s paying off credit card debt. At it’s peak it was about £30,000 so 4k is manageable. It’s almost a relief.

But it’s not 600k. So I have to work etc. Fair enough. I like working. It’s all I ever do in fact. I’ll work all night to night.

So anyway. I used to live in a squat in Camden. I used to live in the back of a car. In the back of several cars in fact… and although things have improved dramatically on the income/stability front - to the extent that I really don’t have anything to worry about ever again etc, I feel like the picture below, pretty much all the time:
