My wife is at home cooking up the tofu while I decided to get a pizza which is where I am now, listening to ABBA’s SOS. It’s funny that moment when you recognise the song. The next song is still in the “just noise” phase. Because of that, I can hear all the other sounds, people talking, the cashier talking, footsteps.

My pizza is ready, I leave and the song remains a nothingness. Not unpleasant, just less interesting than the bamboo light fittings.

I hope XTC have been adequately rewarded.
