Listens: Kathryn Williams 'Daydream And Saunter'

So, like, wheeeeee!

Ah, as the nights draw in and I find it increasingly hard to get out of bed in a morning, it's time to break out the happy pills. In my case, due to a reluctance to do things the 'proper way' and get prescribed things, this amounts to 100mg of 5-HTP just before I go to bed each evening.

Whether as a placebo or as a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, 5-HTP has a remarkable effect. I sleep easier, wake up brighter and bouncier and today I actually did some work (which came as a surprise to everyone).

Combined with a productive weekend - the highlight of which was getting the unsavoury clutter of Nathan's old room down to this and the room itself spick and span for Jim's arrival (have I mentioned Jim's borrowing a room in the flat for a semester whilst he studies in London?) - I feel a whole lot perkier than I did for the last couple of months. Even the now inevitable collapse of my parent company's shares can't bring me down now.
