    Is that a novel or an instruction manual? 😆

    😂 @jwil you looking for age affirmation or an alibi 😁

    It's a recentish novel from South Korea where there is an enormous misogyny problem and there has been a little wave of female writers using writing as a way to process that and connect with other women and recognise women's issues (and existence as women).

    But sociopolitical issues aside, who doesn't like a 65 year old woman assassin 🤷‍♀️😁

    No-one be offended that the 'old woman' is 65, that's part of the cultural misogyny!

    Usuals

    Invigilating

    Ignoring build admin, going to have to do a huge session this weekend but no time and energy what with invigilating atm!

    Vinted and PB money to current account/Mr PIP birthday pot/Mum's next birthday pot/LISA pot/newly opened Christmas pot, and build pot (and North London pot 😁)

    Build pot Aim £500 Got £75

    Wonder if I'm stretching myself a bit thin trying for LISA and Mum birthday and Christmas at the same time, but LISA has to be attempted as its not like a thousand pounds is going to miraculously appear, Mum has a big birthday next year and I want to be in as strong a position as possible to take her away for a long weekend which isn't cheap, and Christmas pot has to be started as I love Christmas and it is just too sad to spend midwinter not buying a Baileys or a nice gift or some mince pies because the budget isn't there. So All The Pots it is!
