Random Space

So this week I’ve been down a TikTok rabbithole. It was set off by a ‘man’ telling women they need to settle

So of course I had some thoughts 😁

In our first Podcast of the year, of course, I decided to surprise Dori 😈

Not only didn’t She know the subject of our chat, she had no idea there would be a third person.

I invited one of my former pupils, Lauren, to join us for a random chat.

We found some things to chat about. Lauren spent a word or two lamenting the use of technology by old people, Dori kills a conversation dead and I get most outraged by the word Buoy.

Anyway Happy 2024 Everyone

Enjoy!

So we all made it to the end of 2023, I think it went super quick, but I’m, happily an old lady… 👵🏾😁

Time to take stock and who else would I discuss this with, than my old friend, Dori. Join us as we reflect on how our year went and what we’re working on for 2024.

(Tbf to JJ’s Bar, I was trying to get coffee before the bar was open 😳)

We both wish you a Fabulous and Fortunate New Year

Patricia Lee can be found here - I recommend the Mocha Scrub and the Lemon Mint moisturiser. 😉

Sometimes when we’re talking on the phone, Dori says something that makes me say,

“Stop! I’ll send you a link, we have to record this!”

Dori started waxing lyrical about the ‘wonders of love’ and I realised we definitely had a good cop/bad cop discussion going on here…

So love…

Who do you side with?

So…

I’ve been thinking about the nature of karma and the concept of revenge…

I decided to reveal what I find is the easiest way to deal with people who do us wrong…

Just get on with your life and let Karma take care of it in her own time and if you’re lucky, you’re there to witness the Karma Butt Kicking 😁

So, Dori and I are procrastinating…

She’s been openly procrastinating and I’ve been doing it secretly 😳

But what it comes down to is this, we decided that, to grow our businesses, we should both explore the paid option on Substack.

That was decided a month or so ago, but neither of us have even attempted to do it.

So I invited Dori for a chat…

This is Dori’s favourite video. If people left parties the way they leave Facebook.

We need to talk about failure…

If you’d rather read, I actually checked AND EDITED 😁 the transcription this week, so I highly recommend it.

I would love to hear your views, either in comment form or in an episode…

In this random conversation about Markets and Marketing, we examine;

Why Cake stalls/booths are bad…

Why Dori is great to have around at an event and

Why you should always have small ticket items on your table.

I also come prepared to solve some of Dori’s issues with her ADHD and we remember how she came to terms with actually having ADHD in the first place…

This is Dori’s collaboration with Main Street Market

In this episode, I have a mini-rant to get off my chest, which encompasses not only Billionaires, but those who spend their time, on the billionaire’s plaything, and everywhere else, complaining about the billionaire and his plaything… 🤦🏽‍♀️

We discuss how we got to a place where wealth hoarders are admired, then we somehow get into my terrible parent teacher meetings when I was a teacher…

As always, Dori leaves us with something positive to ponder…

Please Note: f-bombs and salty language is dotted about, let’s be adult about it.

This week, aside from a brief visit to the Department of Transport, Dori and I discuss social media.

Have people simply forgotten how to behave? Why do we take bad comments to heart? Is everyone on social media just needy?

We decide on what we think is the best social media app (it’s one most people have never heard of 😁) and Dori leaves us with what she has realised is the secret to enjoying social media
