We're on the road with Carl today and we join him during his lunch break for a swift release. He wanted to make up for the slightly dribbling finale to last week’s update and we’re invited into a hallowed inner sanctum: the builder’s van. And what a difference a week makes! It surely can’t just be a haircut and the bright shade of cornflower blue of his hoodie that brings out the colour of his eyes – Carl is beaming and getting mentally stronger by the day, even excited with anticipation as he learns to be a single man again.
