    I turned 45 a couple of weeks ago. With a little bit of the birthday money I had, I treated myself to a small radio controlled car. I’m talking £8 from the supermarket (without batteries, so not that cheap).

    I can drive a full sized car, but who doesn’t love the fun of a little RC car?

    Also, I have rainbow laces in my work boots, and a rainbow lanyard for my office ID. Partly it’s in support of Pride, but also because bright colours are nice. But everyone at work thinks I’m gay (which I only partly am…).

    The older I get, the more I lean into just doing fun things, because yeah, the rest of life is a fucking grind right now.
