I always assumed I would have children — in the same unthinking way I assumed I would make the same money as my parents or live in the same kind of house.
But, as the years ticked by, motherhood never presented itself as an option. I’ve been single most of my life. At 30, I moved to New York and was far too distracted to hear the tick-tock of my biological clock.

How often do you have sex? Twice a week? A month? Or even a year? Glamorous comedian Katherine Ryan has admitted she has sex ‘exactly twice a month’ with her partner Bobby Kootstra.
The 40-year-old also revealed the couple diarise their bi-monthly love-making to ensure it happens. Whether you react to that with envy or pity will no doubt tell you much about your own sex life.
Humans, it seems, have an innate interest in what other people get up
Do you and your partner argue? Most of us assume that a couple who argues has a less solid relationship and is less likely to stick together for the long haul than a couple that doesn’t. We tend to equate low levels of conflict with happiness, after all.
But that just isn’t true. Indeed, the reverse may well be the case — low conflict relationships are often more, not less, fragile, as we’ll explain later.

Twice a week, I stagger out of the front door in my slippers and pyjamas to collect our fresh, organic (obviously) milk and put out the empty glass bottles for the milkman to re-use.
These days, I wouldn’t dream of buying milk in plastic. Nor my veg, come to that. It’s delivered by electric vehicle or I cycle to our local farmer’s market with my hemp tote bags.
The small amount of plastic that does enter our house is religiously
The oddball minority of animals that don’t lay eggs includes a tough little snail called a rough periwinkle.
Unlike mammals giving birth to kittens and fawns and helpless little humans, this tidal-zone snail has switched to live birth relatively recently. Its newcomer version of birthing offspring into the world without an eggshell is…. different: These periwinkle moms give birth multiple times a day. And unlike humans, it’s probably not the mom but the babies who do the hard labor.

A debut author has apologized after admitting to creating fake Goodreads accounts to ‘one star bomb’ other non-white writers – and falsely claiming that a well-meaning ‘friend’ was behind it.
LA-based Cait Corrain was set to release Crown of Starlight – a ‘steamy, sci-fi reimagining’ of the Greek myth of Ariadne and Dionysus – in May 2024.
But earlier last week Xiran Jay Zhao – #1 New York Times bestselling author of hit novel Iron Widow – provided ’31 pages

I know I am out of my comfort zone when I light up a second cigarette just after finishing my first. It’s been seven minutes since I was supposed to meet Tim.
But instead of going inside the bar where we’re due to see each other, I’m lingering on the street, wondering if a handsome stranger might swoop me up in the next 60 seconds and spare me the humiliation of going on a blind date. This does not happen.
Pharmacists should not be considered a substitute for GPs, experts claimed today amid fears ministers are glossing over the dire situation practices are facing.
Under NHS plans to free up millions of appointments with family doctors, chemists will be able to dish out contraceptive pills to women.
High street pharmacists will also get powers to hand out prescriptions for common ailments, meaning patients battling minor illnesses can bypass their GP.
The Royal College of GPs said it was ‘keen to
