Aaaaaagh! AAaaaaagh! HOW? HOW can you stand it?

Oh, that’s a shame; I swear it was working when I posted it!

I love, love, love her.

I don’t have many morning rules, but NO GOING ONLINE until bathed, dressed, made up, fed, watered and ready for work is one of them. Amazingly (given how much screen time other people’s morning routines seem to involve), it doesn’t negatively impact my work at all - you all should try it.

Yeah - nothing says “I’m a competent professional” like office socks and a special blanky.

Oh phew - me too. I had to google it.

Honey, no. Consider your arm, which is the analog of a chicken’s wing. Between the elbow and wrist, you have two parallel bones, which is what you’re thinking of as “wing”. But between your elbow and your shoulder, you’ve got another, single bone - that’s what you’re confusing with a drumstick.

It’s been eleven years of running a business together, fertility problems, sickness, family stress and more. And the marriage is, and always has been, an absolute joy. There are few things I can say about it that don’t sound totally clichéd. Rock, best friend, other half, soulmate, blah.

I am STILL having awful flashbacks to the drunk groom video every day or so. I wish it’d stop. And I want to know what happened next.

Magnificent.

Anecdotal, but I also find that smoking it leaves me with a cough; vaping doesn’t. I’ve a number of friends in the same boat. Interesting, eh?

I had Mirena for fifteen years, swapping out every five. The initial insertion, with sounding and dilation, was so bad that I went into shock and had to stay in hospital overnight.
