Today is the anniversary of my HIV diagnosis. I was 30 and had lost many friends to AIDS. The doctor told me that with treatment I could expect to live another twenty years. That was 26 years ago. HIV changed. Tell everyone.

There is a concept known as “thin places”, where it is said that the veil between this world and the next is thin. You can sense the numinous around you, even if you cannot describe it. Where have you been that felt ‘thin’?

Watched Inside No. 9 and have to say, amongst all the drama this was my favourite bit. Homeless people are so often dehumanised by television or used as the butt of a joke. To see a tender, humanising moment like this (whole scene is beautiful) really makes a change.
