One of the earliest known female travel writers, Ida Pfeiffer was described as neither wealthy or young, embarking on her solo round-the-world adventures in her 40s - becoming a sensation in the process.

@JournalistJill My daughter put a ladybird in her doll house and set her up with a bed and a kitchen.
I love seeing her do this kind of thing! I’m sure Karl Jacobs will enjoy his stay in the Tupperware box.

@sarah_orme I could probably guess but never heard it before!

I’m listening to a lot of freelance journalist interviews on podcasts and am struck by the fact that men say “I am the breadwinner, I have to make this work” and women tend to admit their money is just pocket money, and thus their work has to fit in around family life. But why?!

@TheDaveRamsden I spotted the 5 min gap also and to be fair it seems feasible. With 2 kids I too have mastered the art of wolfing down my food in 5 minutes.

Absolutely fascinated by the imaginary schedules written into daily planners sold online.
