THE INCURIOUS WOMAN WHO GOT OUT OF BED (Sunday)

‘I used to care about stuff – have opinions, blah-blah-blah, but when I turned 60 I suddenly felt tired, I mean really really tired, and one day I went for a lie down on the bed and well, two years later I was still kind of just lying there. It was all I wanted to do – lie in bed … and drink, and let me tell you, it’s not easy to do, thank God for bendy straws! Weirdly it was at this point, whilst laying there doing absolutely nothing, that work opportunities came my way and I was forced back out into the world once more.’
