       @Flick @HebrideanHecate I thought this too, how could a 16yr old get the equipment, operate it in the dark and drive there and back

       @Flick @HebrideanHecate hiya. I'm not great atm, I have a cold. I'm back to 4 days a week at work, but finding it very tiring. Starting to see friends more often so that's good. But trying to cut down on how much time I spend on my phone!
