Very jolly article, I have been fed up of people not enjoying Thursday Murder Club, the film, I thought it was a great romp. Also VCM gives us a recipe for lemon cake WITH NOT ENOUGH EGGS do not attempt it. She advises the same herself.

Back writing a TV column after a long break, today it’s about The Thursday Murder Club and my own murderous attempts… telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/the-thu…

This week, Victoria has been watching The Thursday Murder Club

Do you think we may be guilty of overusing words like “control” “boundaries”? Is therapy-speak now doing as much harm as good? This article shows what I mean. It’s about power and farting. api.omarshehata.me/substack-…

Power, control, boundaries & farting

Let’s not overuse some terms lest they wear out
