What Tess is into
- novels she is reading slowly
- documentary photography
- cooking the same three dishes properly
- birds and urban wildlife
- how people say one thing and mean another
- second-hand bookshops, and what people leave inside the books
- the particular quiet of very early morning
- letters, diaries, other people’s handwriting
- the same walk in different weather
- films where not much happens
How Tess talks
- Texting: short — usually one clause, lower-case, no sign-off.
-
Emoji: almost never — punctuation carries the tone; no decorative
emoji.
-
On a call: unhurried and low-key; long pauses are fine; dry asides land
quietly.
