A good few years ago a couple of friends from the Middle Temple Treasury took Naga out for a celebratory meal as she had passed her law exams with flying colours.

My words of advice were along the lines of “You have to prioritise yourself”….who the hell I thought I was to advise someone like Naga will always remain a mystery to me! Good luck to her and good wishes from days gone by…I’ll just carry on litter picking for a living! 🙄🤣
