During Covid there were big campaigns to deny the over 70s healthcare as "you've already had your turn at life". I have no doubt that had euthanisation been legal, older people would have been pressured to kill themselves for the "good of society". www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

The change over to autumn weather in the last few days has been abrupt. Even as a professional House Chicken, Noot must be feeling the colder air in the mornings. Fortunately, her best friend is right there to warm her up and make mornings gentle for her x

Oh my giddy aunt! That tarte is deliciousness itself! My little place down a side street is a kebab shop! (Which I have never been in, I hasten to add.)

We're now in "Weavers' Time" if we follow the olde worlde Essex Anglo Saxon calenders. Post-Harvest time to get blankets ready & homes repaired before Winter. Idea was picked up again in early 1900s as a play on strengthing the veil between worlds for safety on Halloween. I'll get my knitting out.

Oh lovely, it's safer not to cry. We're women, when we cry we're called "neurotic" and "unstable" and "confused". Keep those emotions between you and your closest people only.

Sarnie sounds rather like a weapon phrased that way, which leads to the suggestion you're on some kind of wonderful spy mission.

You've been reminding me of a Raymond Blanc anecdote. He says when he first arrived in the UK he felt tired & overwhelmed, so went to a bistro for a little cheese and wine to compose himself. He sat in, tried to order, shocked to find no tapas or choice of red - he was in a Wimpy.
