It’s the beginning of exam season in the UK. Already my kids have split into 2 camps, the eldest being responsible and revising and the youngest has taken the attitude of “oh well”. I wish they’d brush off on each other a little bit, Spawn number 1 is too serious and could actually do with

I’m a rather introverted person. I like my own company and quiet time. I find most people to be draining, even those I love but I do get lonely sometimes.
