Thanks so much, Nicola! I only just saw this - bizarrely Bluesky is slapping a ban on everyone sharing this link because of the illustration (‘adult content’) 😡 Deeply frustrating!

Oh, so strange? I wonder if it’s the illustration for the article that’s flagging as adult content?!!

That’s incredible — what a totally bizarre coincidence! There can’t be many people aside from us who used it as HG therapy?! And a tape would actually have been a fantastic idea — wish I had thought of that at the time…

Thanks so much, Natasha! Funnily enough, I did originally mention poor Charlotte Brontë, but it was in a para that ended up on the cutting room floor. I’m sure we’re still only seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how many women have suffered with it without a diagnosis.

No one was more shocked than me! I was quite bereft when it ended.

Everything I thought I knew about Paul was wrong, and I developed a horrible crush on John (completely against my will and despite the very many logical reasons not to).

Mo was the unexpected breakout star. And the toast-rack.

Ahhh, congratulations, Ian! Just watched all 571 hours of the Get Back doc (inexplicably loved every second and could have done with more?!) and can’t wait to read your take. Hope your diary is stacked with talks! Xx

What fresh hell is this?! Instagram recently proffered me a reel that said you should wash your pillowcase every two days - the assumption being that you sleep on it once, then flip it, then wash it. Maybe there is a powerful washing powder lobby

Thanks, Laura - I’ll have to check it out!

Who knew this could happen?!

That’s so kind - thank you for reading and sharing!
