We've only had Wilbur for a week and Kev already says he hasn't seen me smile this much since we got married.

I was very privileged that my parents could afford to keep me while I was at university for my undergrad but few of my friends were in the same boat so I do get those struggles. None of my friends had to work as there were still grants as well as loans and rent in Lancaster was cheap, but most of them couldn't turn to their parents for extra help if they got in a mess.

Yes, my testimony is that Rilstone knows what he's talking about in re Tolkien. Very little even in the way of minor quibbles here.

The opening paragraph is drivel, of course; but he frames it as such. He's just inviting anyone who thinks that way to leave the room. I like the "cod-archaic" Book of Lost Tales a lot more than he does. And there's a couple of jokes, like the one about dwarf names, which oversimplify things. That's about it.

Regarding successive New Labour Home Secretaries demonising immigrants, note Nick Cohen postulating that OP is conflating asylum seekers (which Labour did indeed bash relentlessly) and immigrants (which Labour silently welcomed in large numbers, unlike most other EU countries).

But yes, going on and one about bogus asylum seekers and welfare cheats rather than making the argument in favour of immigration when at the same time you're opening the borders to immigrants from Poland, and then Bulgaria and Romania, doesn't look too clever.

It hadn't even occurred to me yet that my sometimes waking up at night all sweaty in recent years could be due to perimenopause. I simply attributed it to too many blankets. But indeed, I don't think this used to happen... I didn't used to need a small towel by the bed for drying myself off with.

I hadn't associated it with hot flashes either, as I don't feel hot upon waking up like that.
