And whereas my daily routine involves limitless walks along sun-splashed deserted tropical strands fringed by waving palms refreshed by the susurration of cooling zephyrs and lapped by cerulean seas, you are reduced to gawping out of a window at a winter dead vista of grey, leaden skies through streaked glass beaten by sheets of driving, freezing rain amid the ever present gloom of a sunless dystopia that shrouds your prison-like existence from which you emerge briefly to scuttle along darkened streets, beaten and huddled by the bone aching cold, to the corner Patel shop for your permitted exercise and back again to your tenement bothy to settle stupefied before a flickering screen playing out scenes of death stacked in makeshift morgues like some ghastly funereal Amazon depot distributing coffins to the local crematoria to be burned in celebration of the most incompetent government in living memory.
Yep, Tax, it's a real bitch.
Stay safe and watch out for those muggers as you slip, slide your way along the frozen dog turds to buy your bottle of Sterry from the local Reggie.
Har, har.
