This has got to take a toll, but once you’re on the treadmill, it’s hard to get off. It’s hard enough in Tasmania, London must be brutal.

In the past few years, thanks to social media, I’ve tried to rekindle some friendships with old friends with “high powered” jobs. It usually starts out with a burst of enthusiasm, then time gets in the way, and it just fizzles out again.

It feels both sad and inevitable, so I really relate to this.
