Living alone… 8 things to love:
1… Warm nights, no need to look for a bathrobe when going to the loo
2… Staying up late, I can even listen to African music if I want
3… Last piece of bread… it’s mine!
4… Spare rooms to use for leisurely packing

6… Any time can be nap-time, with nobody coming along to say “You going to sleep?”
7… Never, ever having to watch sports on TV
8… Dinner can be 5pm, or 6pm, or 7pm… or 10pm….
