On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re knee-deep in the small-but-consuming realities of midlife: mysterious itches that turn out to be nerve damage, sinus infections that knock you sideways, and the peculiar stress spiral of trying to buy travel insurance when your medical history has opinions.
Whether you’re juggling post-treatment side effects, wondering if every new twinge means something dreadful, or just trying to book a holiday without remortgaging your house, this one will feel uncomfortably familiar. Because it’s never just about the ailment - it’s about control, reassurance, and staying optimistic when your body has its own agenda.
There’s also birthday talk, partners who go to bed at 9.30pm, surprise dreams involving jigsaws, and a gentle reminder that ageing is as absurd as it is unavoidable. No big answers. Just honesty, humour, and the comfort of knowing you’re not the only one Googling symptoms at 2am
