The commutes haven't started yet. I'll be lucky because I'll be passenger and I can smoke... so I can chill the journey. And it's not quite an hour, it's perhaps under 40 minutes on a good day, but you gotta account for traffic, which is dreadful once you hit town at rush hour.

What will suck about the commute is I'm returning to the town I just fucking left, but like I say, it's a means to an end. Either I'll be working mostly from home by summer, or I'll find other ways to make a living.

I won't be going back on benefits again, those days are done.
