The menopause blog was spot on! - much like the mental health crisis creating, for some capitalist opportunists, the billion dollar 'wellness' industry - now we have the hot topic of menopause being turned into cash. If you are experiencing emotional and physical changes the answer could be as simple as just adapting what you do but don't stop doing it, eating well and resting.

Wow, lots to consider this week.

I could not agree more on your assessment of the paddle out however consciousness of the events I think was low. The local seahorse colony will have to look to others for support.

Note to self , read some Amis soon.

Love the London Calling poster. It sums up the era.

Oh dear. I assume the author of 'The case against books' is writing for a (very) narrow audience drawn from university life. The premise that because you can get your information elsewhere in a more cost effective and efficient way as being the primary consideration for the reasons why the general public (and most academics ) reads misses the point entirely. I suspect Richard knows this and is after as many clicks as he can get thus thus emphasising the value of the long form paper book over the amphetamine of social media approvals. It leaves me curious as to which date is the cut off for serious relevant thought too.
