Well done. Decent rugs/carpets recover surprisingly well after years of mistreatment. One of my friends used to buy/sell carpets from Morocco and Tunisia. He would add a premium to a well used but still top quality carpet. He said moderate use and carpet beating added value. Cat barfing is probably not a value add.

Just when I think I couldn't love her more JKR hits X and makes me rethink ❤️

There has been quite a bit of focus on the trans activists defacing the statue of Millicent Fawcett at the demo in Parliament Square today. The Met Police have now confirmed that seven statues were vandalised and that they have launched an investigation. Let's hope that some of the idiots responsible are found and prosecuted.

For Spinsters not in the UK, the UK media has had extensive coverage of the Supreme Court ruling today and it has been better than we would have got a few years ago. There have been plenty of interviews with For Women Scotland, Sex Matters, Julie Bindel and others involved in the long legal fight to get this to the Supreme Court.
Sadly many trans and gender ideology grifters have also been on TV, radio and podcasts too. I have worked hard to tune out the bad actors and stay focused on how this is a good win for women. We need to celebrate and use it to fuel us for the next battle.
I am so in awe of the women who have been on the frontline in this years long legal battle and I hope they all celebrated today. For Women Scotland were able to lead this battle as it was the Scottish Government who were pushing ridiculous ideas through the Scottish Parliament. They did so bravely and I bloody love them! They were supported by women from across the UK and I am proud to be from Terf Island.

FFS! A UK Govt minister who believes in sex self ID and has publicly stated that men rapists should be allowed in women's prisons (thanks Julia Long and Venice Allan for getting that on camera) is now using the England women's football team success in 2022 to bid for the UK to host the 2035 women's world cup. Perhaps she'll have remembered the difference between men and women by then. 🙄

Another great photo for Team Trump. This one showing him as the saviour of women's sports in what must be one of the easiest political wins ever!
Well done to all the women and girls in the USA who protested, sacrificed and campaigned. This is your win.

Thanks.

Is this true?
It is being reported on X that the US tried to send illegal immigrants back to Columbia and they refused to accept them. Trump posted about it on Twitter and made threats about trade and other issues and now they are sending the Presidential plane to bring the illegals back to Columbia!!!
There is so much news since Trump returned to office it is hard to keep up!!!

2025-01-26 20:05:29 CET

This is being shared on X. Not sure how accurate it is but I wouldn't be surprised if it is accurate. It also shows how much DEI is about virtue signalling rather than meaningful change to unfair employment practices.
When I worked in corporate HR nearly all board level directors (ie. the top HR job in the organisation) were male despite most junior roles being filled by women. If the top HR executive was a woman they were usually not on the Board and reported to a finance or legal director.

Good luck UK Spinsters in Storm Eowyn's path.
I should be OK where I live but I was meant to be travelling this eve and tomorrow morning to get to my Aunt's funeral and wake tomorrow which in a high risk area.
We made the difficult decision this morning not to travel and instead I will raise a glass for her tomorrow and hope to catch up with her daughter when we will not be battling storm force winds.

Big drama last night. I have been sick all week with a horrible chesty cold and last night I had a severe coughing fit. Being asthmatic and getting a lot of bad coughs I thought I had things under control but then I started coughing up fresh blood and quite a lot of it.
I phoned 111 and between coughing and my voice having dropped at least 2 octaves I managed to explain what had happened and was told to take myself to A&E. As you can imagine the local taxi driver was not very impressed when he picked me up and I was looking worse than an impoverished Victorian consumption victim but he took me to hospital anyway.
Having suffered many a long waits in A&E I have to say that when you turn up coughing up frothy blood they act quickly. I was rushed through triage and quickly got checked out by doctor who seemed pretty sure it was not too serious. After a few hours for scans and tests it was confirmed that there was nothing else going on and I had damaged my throat/vocal chords by coughing and popped some minor blood vessels. Apparently this is enough to make you look like the bloodiest victim in a horror movie!!!
After a few hours I was back home with a bag of medicines and strict instructions to rest up for a few days and to not talk unless absolutely necessary. If I cough up fresh blood again over the weekend then I have to go back to hospital but otherwise can just follow up with my GP next week.
At least it all made a change from me going into hospital with a parent but I could have done without it!

OK this is an odd post for Spinster as it is all a bit women's magazine problem page but ...
Post menopause I now get the occasional really fast growing hair on my face mostly on my cheeks and chin. They seem to come from nowhere and greatly annoy me. Some are soft and some are bristly. They are all irritating. At the same time my eyebrows have almost disappeared.
Maybe I should ignore all this but it annoys me too much. Obviously once I spot the long hairs I can pluck them out if I am at home but any sensible advice on facial hair management for post menopausal women would be appreciated.

Yes. I was born in England and trace my ancestry back to the 1600s in England and Scotland. Given the system we have that means that without doubt he is my king but to be honest that doesn't mean much to me. If I met him I would be polite but I don't feel duty bound to do what he says. He is a constitutional monarch.
In my youth I would rail against the monarchy but no one has yet convinced me that a different system that would work better for the UK. It's a bit like the House of Lords. In theory it's terrible but in practice and given all the quirks in the British/UK constitution and law it works well and sometimes it is best not to fix things that are not broken.

Thanks Flick and yes, the registrar very sympathetically explained why she was asking about the hip replacement. To be honest I wasn't upset by the question, I just didn't know the answer!
Fortunately it is very straightforward settling Dad's estate as most things are jointly held with mum and she is the only beneficiary. It will be more complicated when Mum dies so awful as it is I know that need to prepare for that too.

2024-10-02 21:33:16 CEST

There has been so much going on this week that I didn't post about this earlier. When I went to register my Dad's death the doctor who recorded his death had had to formally state that he wasn't pregnant at the time of death.
My dad would have laughed but really!!! If a doctor has already confirmed that someone is an 86 year old man do they really need to also formally declare that he was not pregnant at the time of death.
I snorted as I read it in the Registry Office and the Registrar immediately asked if I had spotted an error. When I told her what the problem was she rolled her eyes and snorted. We then had a nice bonding moment about mad bureaucracy. I think she was a secret TERF.
I had everything prepared to register the death but I still got caught out as I supposed to know if his metal hip replacement was for a right or left hip! He had it done nearly 30 years ago. How the hell was I meant to know that was important amongst all the other death admin.

FFS! Just went to do my final blood pressure check for the day and tabby cat has peed on my monitor!!! Of all the things to choose to mark his territory he chooses that. 🤣
I have wiped it down and it still works but the cuff now smells of cat urine. 😩
This is not going to help my BP levels.

I loved the early Scarpetta books when they were first published and Patricia Cornwell has done a lot to promote female writers and female led crime fiction.
The Scarpetta storylines got too convoluted and silly for me as the series went on but Cornwell always writes well. Maybe the TV series will be better than we are both expecting. I certainly hope so.

Isn't that the diet aimed at tackling type 2 diabetes? I am OK on blood sugar levels. The stuff I need to do according to my GP is all the things we already know but are not very good at. Eat more fresh veg and some but too much fruit, eat less high carb/sugar/processed foods, drink less alcohol and exercise more.
I like all the healthy stuff but I also like pizza and wine. At least I am getting my steps in this week trekking around the local hospital to visit my Dad.

2024-09-19 21:40:26 CEST

After having a couple of high blood pressure readings I am now having to keep a diary of my reading for a week and then go back to see the GP again. My dad being back in hospital is not helping matters but given that is now normal for me perhaps it is as well is has happened during this week when I am tracking things.
I am also trying to eat more healthy foods. My neighbour kindly helped by bring lots of goodies from his allotment and promised more next week. He thinks his leeks will be ready soon and they are one of my favourite veg. In return I feed his cats when he goes on holiday which is no bother at all. My kitchen is now full of locally grown fresh fruit and veg plus my supermarket shop this week will be very small. This is a really good deal for me!
My gardener neighbour also has no time for any trans or queer nonsense. We had a chat a year or so ago about our local council wasting money on stupid things including several Pride road crossings. Now he knows I keep an eye on such things he asks for updates but after a few minutes then says that's enough of that and switches to talk about gardening or neighbourhood gossip. He is a lovely chap and his wife is nice too.

LOL! Do you mean Sheila Hancock? She is on BB2 with Katie Derham.
I love Sheila. She is a great British actress and a real character. Not sure how she got the booking to be on the proms as that is not her expertise but well done her for going along and getting a great night out. The BBC need to do better booking appropriate guests but that is not Sheila's fault.

Yes it is good to remember that there is still lots of good BBC broadcasts although it is increasingly hard to find them. I am also watching the Mozart concert too and it is glorious. I must admit that I tend to skip the before and after commentary though.

My mum was taken ill early this morning and we have spent the whole day in the local hospital emergency department. She is poorly but not too bad and after a day of tests is being kept in for observation.
No matter how much I moan about Labour and how captured it is by identity politics and its dreadful betrayal of women I will also never ever forgive the Tories for the current state of the NHS.
I have been a regular in our local hospitals with both my parents as they aged and needed more treatment. It is so much worse now than 10 or even 5 years ago. There are more sick people as we have an aging population and there are less GP appointments or other clinics available. The staff are mostly great and often brilliant whilst working under war zone like conditions in A&E departments. This is not just because of Covid backlogs. They are many problems which have been left to fester for way too long.
Today we arrived at the hospital at 11am. I left my mum at 10pm and for all that time she was on a trolley bed in a corridor. All her admission tests, regular obs checks, doctor assessments were all done in the corridor. No privacy even when they had to partially undress her for an ECG. There was also no system for her to ask for nurse assistance. If I hadn't had stayed with her I doubt she would have got much if anything to eat or drink and would have been left to soil herself as she was not able to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.
I hate that is this is now just a normal day in a big UK hospital. The Tories allowed this to build up to the current crisis.
Sorry for ranting but it was a really tough day.

There is so much happening that is awful for women at this Olympics but there are some wins and we should celebrate those. So today I am raising my glass to cycling.
The track cycling events have now started and cheater Bridges is not part of Team GB. Even though they dithered for far too long British Cycling did finally clarify eligibility rules to protect women's sport. So all the soft focus photo shoots, media puff pieces and being on Vogue's female power list didn't not get Bridges into the women's team. Hurrah! 🥂

It is appalling that Sharron Davies has to give interview after interview correcting her BBC colleagues in both news and sports departments who still are woefully ignorant about what is really happening. It is their job to research and learn about this so why the fuck have they not done that. Thanks goodness we have Sharron who has the patience of a saint and enormous self control. She is brilliant at stating the facts.
