loving your work
That's was when her and Jack were mates, but they've fallen out now I believe
What happened to her job at the Southend Echo?
hard agree, but I do find it a useful metaphor at work, when trying to get 100 yr olds to accept a little more help. Though to be fair if they have made it to 100 you can usually just say if we help you put your support stockings on you won't be knackered when your daughter FaceTimes you and fall asleep half way through.
<waves spoon> fellow spoonie hereSpoonies are people who don’t have much energy like ppl with ME or long covid
It based on an explanation called the spoon theory which is a bit overlong and twee in my opinion but it works
Edit- am sure Jack was going to do spoonie recipes atone point
What is Spoon Theory?
Understand life with chronic illness in a way that's never been explained before.www.healthline.com
when I worked for adult services ( don't google)for the local council we employed 2 advisors to help the elderly clients we worked with claim benefits, over 4 years several millions reclaimed. Millions in the youngest city in europe(
). One that stuck with me was an elderly couple were their joint pension had been recorded as his alone and they were owed thousands because the initial assessment had been done using a family member as translator who didn't understand the system . It only got sorted due to having someone on my team who spoke Punjabi asking why they were paying so much for his homecare compared with other clients
Amateurs, I have cats to help - you get free acupuncture into the bargain.
Not if the weird storage area above the stage where you find old tins of paint, shuttlecocks and teenagers looking for somewhere to skin up is free first...

Bet the cats don’t crap everywhere either
Conversation in Jack's mentions (the blaa isn't Jack's recipe).
How is Meera well connected? I really like her books but I did suspect something like that as she doesn't have a chef background. #nosy
If Cack tries tae make the blaa related to her "irishness" i swear tae god i'll implode.
I remember a guy at Marconi who was promoted to head a new department - of one person, himself.
28k viggle has a recent recipe for granola - much more trustworthy!
we have bilingual goats in Snowdonia
who have been known to confuse walkers with their calls sounding like injured persons.
Her bone idleness got to me this week. You know when a real life situation makes you sit up and think about what a lazy, entitled, untalented person she is - she just got lucky once and is riding the wave.
My beautiful friend is head of care of the elderly at a NHS hospital but is in a role that gives her time to manage the staff and time on the ward, since covid she has had two weeks annual leave. She is working 60/70 hour weeks and is on call. Her and her husband are independently wealthy as she inherited a house and he was a successful DJ in the 90s (this year he has raised £££ for the music industry doing on line gigs etc, and not pocketed a penny). This week she called me and was on her knees with the workload, the hours, the worry, the lack of staff, having to staff the ward last minute as someone hadn't turned up. Her husband had suggested that she hand in her notice as they dont need her wage and she was so torn and upset as she knows she is the best person right now to deliver this service but its breaking her. Patients are dying and she is doing her best to look after them and their families with dignity and respect. She is bleeping wonderful and is refusing to give up as money is not her motivation, she just knows its the right thing to do to make sure our older population are well cared for medically, clinically and emotionally.
I live in hope that Jack reads this. I hope you know there is no comparison to you and people who work hard because they are essentially, good people.

maybe she's gone quiet cos she's actually writing the book!? 
or was kidnapped by the pharmacist?
or is kicking shins on a train somewhere?
I hear you ask? jack knows, that's who and she's got an obligation to tell us what she's been up to!
(obv, this is purely in jest, mlud. I'm just bored)

I get that there probably is a distinction between "author" and "writer".
But it's scraping the bottom of the barrel when you have to include both in your bio, because you don't have anything else to say.
I know that's not the most offensive thing in the above!

Confession.
I don’t know what “bylines in surprising places” means and at this point I’m too afraid to ask
Or part of her face has fallen off due to plague. *Don't look at me like that*. It could happen.maybe she's gone quiet cos she's actually writing the book!?
