10. When You're Alone You Talk To Your Pets And Pretend They're Talking Back
If only Disney films were actually reality and all the animals in the world could talk back to you. When you're home alone, you'll have full blown conversations with your dog, your cat, and your fish. They've got names, they've got personalities, and they're more than happy to have a chat with you about your day. You: Hi Duke, how's your day at home been? I went to the shops and got the groceries and now I think it's time I put my feet up and caught up on Better Call Saul. Dog: I know exactly what you mean; I've been running around the house all day and now I'm shattered. Let's sit down together. You: Hello John and Barbara, have you done a lot of swimming today? Fish: We've swum about two miles today while you've been gone, please feed us, we're so excited for that new fish food you bought us. If only they could really talk back. If only Tod the fox from The Fox and The Hound was real. If only Flounder was a real fish who could accompany you on your ocean travels. If only.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
