Harry Brown, babies and built in ovens...
Squeezed in another DVD early last night - Harry Brown starring Michael Caine. He is often accused of just playing himself but I thought he was excellent in a taught role as vigilante on a dreadful council estate. If you’re prepared for graphic violence and some extremely well cast baddies you might just enjoy Harry Brown's form of justice.
Yesterday I read an article about women in their 30s who desperately want to have a baby and put that before finding someone they really love. In other words they grab the first man going once they hit their age. Oh dear, do I ever meet a lot of those!
It's amazing how women are hearing their biological clocks ticking with increasing ferocity and pull the wool over the eyes of a man that they’re settling for to have a baby - a "Mr. Second-best". I've had women confide in me that they're pretending to be deeply in love, and that he's the man of their dreams, when really they just want him to provide them with a baby.
The women I call "Settlers" bitterly regret having left getting pregnant until often the second half of their 30s and wish they'd snapped up that fantastic man they dated in their 20s, but left behind thinking they didn't need to settle down yet.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if you think you've got all the time in the world to have a baby then think again. Mother nature can be cruel and you may not stay fertile for as long as you hope. Think carefully when you've met a nice man in your late 20s about whether that might be the time to settle down rather than waiting until into your 30s. And perhaps thinking you might meet someone even better. You don't have all the time in the world - just beware of that!
On that serious note I‘ll say goodbye as we have the very exciting chore of finding a built-in double oven in the sales. Ours is on its last legs.
Take care, Pam X
