Colm O'Regan: Lockdown fancy, taken by the weeds

We all have our little tricks, to make ourselves feel better when times are glum. I like eating leftovers, testing loose batteries to see once and for all if the fecking things are working or not, and hiding chocolate in the hope I’ll forget I have it. I have since added a new one, the joy of weeds. Not weeding, weeds.

Because there is a lot of nature around and in some places it’s coming back. But it’s not always the type of nature that we’ve been conditioned to like.
