The inimitable Stephen Fry

 

 

I've always suffered from insomnia. At one time, my insomnia was so bad, I couldn't even sleep during working hours. Luckily, these days I have ABC Radio National to listen to during those dark and endless hours between 10 o'clock at night and 6 o'clock in the morning.

Last night's Radio National was an absolute treat: first there was Late Night Live featuring "Stephen Fry on life, last words and the things he can't do" followed by a commentary on the current high-stakes soap opera playing out in America, "What we're getting wrong about the US election".

All that insomnia didn't stop me from going to the pool at the crack of dawn for a few hours' aquatherapy and a leisurely lunch at the Thai restaurant. Now it's time for an afternoon nap on the sunlit verandah.

It's a hard life!
