You're right. I'm quite old, so it's going to take a while, but I'm sure my workplace will understand why I'm not in for most of the rest of this year.

Now I feel guilty. I've been in lots of people's houses over the years while on my period. Should I have given them all advance notice? Do I need to send an apology card to my neighbours? I popped in for coffee with them yesterday.

Current US figures seem to suggest that 1% of men live to 100, but that is expected to increase greatly. As you said, 30% without assistance is very generous.

Before we even get on to the women doing stuff, I'm stuck on the 100 years without women. If it takes that long to figure out repopulation, last year ~130m children were born. If half were boys, and a very generous third live to be 100, you'll be repopulating with about 20m centenarians, worldwide

Yes, transcript error. He's single on the original form. Oddly though, the person I thought was his mother in that house is listed as single, and not widow, so maybe he's a different nephew of my ggfather.

Wait, the details are in the census if I'd scrolled right. There's an 18 year old lad in the house who is probably the son of one of the great gran aunts, but oddly he's listed as widower, while she's listed as single. Maybe a transcript error.

I go to hospital appointments alone - I can read my book/ do a crossword while waiting and not have to entertain anyone. If I'm staying in hospital, friends will drop stuff off to me if I need it, or i can get things delivered.

They'd be 2-in-1, you'd drop your car off for an oil change and get an abortion while it was being done.

As an Irish woman, I know I can take on a single angry goose, particularly if I'm willing to actually kill it (I'd rather I didn't have to). More than one, and I'm done for.

I'm kind of full after Sunday's visit to Mahon Point. My hope for today is to walk to the post office, then continue on a general peaceful stroll. If I go now while it's still raining there may be fewer humans out. Only dog walkers would go in this weather, and we like them.

I've never been to the big Dunnes. Maybe today would be a great day to visit!
