Hey guys, I was thinking about you all so much last night, I got my pocket radio, so was listening to some music man. You guys should tune in one day, we can request. You can request, I feel like we should have a day to do it. 6-8am or 6-9pm but I won’t be there the whole time but regardless, or are you let me know the actual time the DJs and hosts are on because I’m not able to check. It’s just a tuning radio lol. The station is RTHK radio. Some bangers last night. The first song I really heard was Marvin Gaye on 1st April, lol can you guess which song? I heard that on my friends’ radio, the first song on my own I will have to check. I now listen to Chinese bangers too = -, can’t believe it. I think hearing music last night on a radio as long as my middle finger and as wide as 2 fingers really made me realise I’m so in prison. Like hearing the songs on the outside will be strange, surreal should I say. I almost couldn’t sleep due to the love of my new radio. Listening now, and people have had enough of me writing but I’m the only British person in the whole prison 1/5 black person, but I never met them. All I know is EVERYONE, keeps saying “Are you African?” Then the whole are you Mary? They just asked if you could leave for 9-5 what would you do? Some said church, I said go home, she said just “9-5 ah”, I said hmm, then she said nails. So I said yeah I guess nails, a banging steak, get waved, ah actually do my hair and then yeah end the day with church and more food maybe sushi. What about you free folk? Lol, anyone wanna come on a food hunt/binge when I’m back? I went to prison 69.9kg now I am 62kg, it’s been 33 days I think.

So how is life? What’s new? How tall is everyone? I just finished cleaning the assembly hall. It’s like being in school, people spend all day drawing and I spend my day writing. Someone drew that picture, well ACTUALLY they spend the day tracing then they colour, I really can’t do that I have little patience. Hopefully you guys have been able to read the first few pages of “my book”. Let me know how it made you feel, I mean it’s just 3 pages right now.
