When I first meet the famous psychic Estelle Bingham I’m in a terrible state. Ten minutes before our scheduled Zoom chat, I receive a text telling me I am effectively homeless thanks to ongoing issues over who is going to live in the flat my ex-boyfriend and I once shared.

I have two old and precious friends I’ve known since my late teens. We met as our adult lives lay just ahead on the horizon, and they have been a constant throughout my life. Despite the fact that our lives are very different now. Bel* is a housewife and mother of two adult kids who left London in the year 2000.

In a game of snog, marry, shoot in the head, I’d be hard pushed to choose. Which one most deserves the bullet, and which one most deserves their tongue bitten out at the root, and which one deserves the ultimate nightmare: being married to me. https://t.co/QVgo9bTLk2 KITTENS!
I had a go at a carnivore eating. A habit and lifestyle I had long ago assigned to nutters and extremists. The results were unfortunate. And I may have to eat my words, with dripping. https://t.co/DspC7OkpD0
Selfies, “Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face, there’s nothing more sinister. Only in the water of ponds could he look and the posture he had to assume was symbolic...to bend over to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the heart”
