Jolting out of sleep, I check my watch: 3.45am. Yuck. I’m wide awake: morning-awake. Switching my phone on, reaching for my water bottle, I gulp some down. It’s annoying, but understandable.

Sitting in a cafe in a trendy district of the city with brother. He’s writing emails and has brought plugs, adaptors and so on. Thought about bringing phone charger but decided against it and am now regretting this decision as battery down to about 20%. The dog at the table next to us barks and […]
