Oh, hello everyone and welcome to your weekly dose of midlife wisdom, friendship, and a side serving of knitwittery.

That's my little friend, Tr Trish and I like to share.

We do like to share our funny, unpredictable moments of life alongside all our helpful, journalistically researched. Serious advice. You've got to laugh at all this stuff, haven't you, Trish? Otherwise, it would, it would swerve you, take you off course, wouldn't it? It would. It would be the end of you. But that's our unique formula. I think our USP, as they say in certain places. That seems to have evolved quite

nicely. We didn't know when we were setting out. We knew it would be very like full of advice,

really helpful, good guests. But the kind of friendship, the laughs, the nitwittery, it's all come on

since we've been professional podcasters, I like that. It has. And I noticed one or two other

podcasts copying our nitwituary, I have to say, keep it to myself. There's room for everybody.

There is, there is. It's a very liberal use of the word P for professional, though. Oh, yes, that's true. I mean, are we professional or are we just having a go? Yeah, we're having a go, aren't we? We're trying our best, I would say. But to prove that we aren't, we aren't the only nitwits in town, I thought I'd go straight in today with one of those laugh or cry moments from one of our listeners called Anne, whose January hasn't got off

to the best of starts. And she popped this corker on the Facebook group recently. She said,

just thought I'd let everyone know about how my week is going. On Monday, I had a stabbing pain

in my chest all day and a very itchy throat.

Got home to realise the wire had come out of my bra and I had my polar neck on back to front.

Very itchy label. That would be me, wouldn't it? Wouldn't like the itchy label? She says,

I can't even dress myself properly. Then on Tuesday I got home and realized I'd been wearing

just one earring all day and my knickers were on inside out. I'm just loving midlife.

That's quite pirity one earring, I think, isn't it? A bit pirity look there. People did in the

day, didn't they? One earring. Yeah. I mean, I feel Anne's pain because that is actually one of my genetic traits wearing things inside out. I have my new gym shorts. My daughter bought me some gym shorts and they're quite short and tight, well, I had them on the wrong way around because there's no label in them and I didn't know. Got into a bit. Now, every time I get them out, I get into a sort of panic about which way around to put them on. So I just I just don't know. But honestly, you never know what it's going to happen. They're not those. Just stopping you there. I didn't know about the gym shorts. Did you not? Those tiny little bottom hugging ones that sit right on the crease of your thighs. Don't leave a lot to the

imagination. I can't believe this. I get very hot in the gym, Trish. I get really hot. I get hotter

than everyone else. All the midlife ladies get very hot in the gym. So I wanted to stop wearing

my running leggings because it's just too hot to wear. So my lovely daughter, who's 23, goes to the gym about 98 times a day, said, oh, I'll just get you some of the ones that everybody wears in the gym. And I said, do not get the ones right up my bottom crack because I don't want to look like that. And she said, no, I won't get you the roached ones.

I'll just get you the simple ones. And they are simple and they're not short shorts.

They sort of comes the third of the way down my thigh, but they are they are quite tight.
