“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,' is a lie. Life is just one thing after another at the moment and strong is not how I'm feeling. I'm feeling tired, really tired.

Maybe it’s just me and my perimenopausal rage but I’m seeing quite a few fiction books coming out about menopause and the titles are always something to do with hot flushes and they’re tipped as being ‘hilarious’.

Because that’s all the menopause is, hot flushes 🙄

FUCK. OFF.

@Pingosaurus OK so just been told catting does not mean being more cat. In my defence, I am old.

[AnneB68 @amb6812]

@Pingosaurus Frank has cleverly ensured that you can not open or close either door without her knowledge. Top level catting for one so young.

@FelicityHewitt_ Personally, I find it annoying to constantly read the word 'said'. Once a conversation is underway, I don't feel it's needed.

@klhicks912 Read your work aloud. Don't forget to breathe.

@goodreads I carry a library on the kindle app.

[AnneB68 @amb6812]

@goodreads Yes, I always have done, ever since I learnt to read when I was 4. Over the past 50 years, books, in particular fiction, has been my anchor.
