I don't have a computer. I am the Luddite of rock'n'roll, I don't have a portable phone. I write things down.
I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.

Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine.
I get bombed for breakfast in the morning, I get bombed for dinner.
