Now, young Trish, you know that midlife is full of surprises.

Oh, my goodness, we've had many unexpected moments as we've been going about our midlife

adventures, haven't we?

Well, I've got a little surprise today, we're all our wonderful listeners.

Oh, that sounds exciting. Are you going to be telling me that you're running off to marry

the rock?

Oh, I don't know, that's...

That would be the biggest surprise of all.

Or be quite surprised for him, Trish.

I think it would, and he's my fastest.

Well, maybe are you taking Margot on a little luxury treat for felines?

No, I'm not going to do either of those things, and my surprise doesn't involve you singing.

I don't, it doesn't involve Hobblobs, and it obviously definitely doesn't involve Margot

who's kind of a constant surprise to me, actually, in my life.

This surprise is a little thank you for all our wonderful women of our midlife community,

and it's for the women who supported me when I was writing my book, which nearly killed

me.

Lovely, lovely women who supported me through that all over, all on all the platforms.

Today, we are going to release a special extra episode, postcards from midlife, which

is an extract of my book.

So you are about to hear me reading what's wrong with me, 101 things midlife women need

to know.
