I think one useful mantra in life is "I am a normal woman".
For example, why would I spend €40k on a wedding, I am a normal woman. Why would I rent out a castle, I am a normal woman. What do I need botox for, I am a normal woman. I won't need to still look 30 when I'm 50, sure I'm a normal woman.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.
