My dear old aunt thought that women should behave with modesty at all times and if they didn't then they deserve anything they get........I guess what she had was 'internalised misogyny'.

Douwe Egberts is good coffee, if I remember right.
It used to be hard to get good coffee in Ireland, when I was a kid. Now there are coffee 'emporiums' everywhere, selling all manner of combinations of coffee.
Me too. It's awful when the weather is dark and wet, day after day as it often is in the west of Ireland. My GP made a mistake with my prescription and I haven't had my meds for the last few days, just rang my pharmacy and thank god they finally have them in so I can get back to normal now.

Don't forget the martini!..a good housewife will have one ready when her hubby arrives home from work exhausted in the evening, she gives it to him as he sits down and then she takes his shoes off as he's too tired to do it himself..
