I can imagine Mary admiring Diana Mitford/Guinness/Mosley enormously.
I'm really sorry you are going through that - I hope he gets a transplant soon. Some of my mum's patients have lived 15+ years on home dialysis though.
A girl I was in primary school with (early 80s) was on hormones to stop her from growing. I never saw her after puberty, but I do occasionally wonder how that worked out, or what hideous fate her parents imagined for her as a tall woman.
Not so much Discworld but the visceral anger and loss in Nation... yeah. But I do feel that in the last couple you could tell that he was using Dragon. The spoken rhythm isn't quite the same as the written-and-then-read-back rhythm.
Also try the other Bake Off format shows on the BBC - Sewing Bee, Painting Challenge, Pottery Throwdown (the male judge weeps from the beauty of it all), Interior Design Challenge.
I used to work around the corner and *for some reason* we had an office subscription to The Lady. I cancelled, and they still delivered every issue for 2 more years.
My first communion picture belongs in this line up. My mum thought a stephanotis wreath would be SO pretty, ignoring the fact that every other girl making theirs was wearing a full-on bridal veil. SO of course the photographer put me in the middle.
There should be some sort of award for outstanding achievement in the field of pet naming. Jeeves!
"Because we weren’t raised as girls, we have a lot of catching up to do after transition." - I realised this when I was working in retail and a woman who was still presenting as a man came into the shop. She had SO many questions, and I felt really bad that for some of them ("Which shoulder do women carry their handbags on?") I just couldn't give an answer. I think Shonda gives better advice (but don't have an affair with the president, that doesn't usually work).
Higher or lower than disputing Mallory's identification of musical instruments and fibre arts?
