It is week nine. I have been to Mars, twice. I have scattered my mother's ashes (and inhaled them) from a Norwegian mountain. I have tamed lions, I have been a nun, I have fixed cars and served custard. I have sung about being polite in Britain and how to defrost the fridge. I have loved so many partners, I have wept over their bodies, I have been married at least a dozen times.
