I was born in the shadow of a pyramid (a coal heap tbh)
Blighted by Asthma from an early age, I remember attending school and, during classes, certain days, they would take me on a bus to a large, red-bricked building, down lemon-coloured corridors, and into a large, sparse room. They handed me a straw and a ping pong ball and told me to blow the ball from one side of the room to the other. I was then taken back to school to resume my intermittent education.
