Did you know it was International Women's Day yesterday? Probably not, it only gets paid 77% of the attention of other holidays.

What? They have a day? Why don't we men have one? That doesn't seem even remotely equitable.😲

Then women have a long way to go to get to 77% of the days.

Oh, geeeez, not this "same old, same old".

Women, on the other hand, already know that every day is men's day.

Can I ask you to mention that "fact" to my partner. Seems she thinks it's the reverse. 🙁

And on the subject of women the hijab has gone all haute couture.
Do you see yourself sporting one Torunn?
I quite fancy that mysterious avenging Bond woman look. 🙂

I tell you what, when all women, everywhere, are paid the same as men, then we'll give you a Men's Day, how's that?

As long as it is a free choice and doesn't represent anything else.

You tell her, Stees - she will listen to you if you try again.

Of course.
I thought those women on the catwalk looked very glamorous and I’m always looking
for new ideas to keep my wild hair under control. I’ve got a fake Russian hat
for the cold, a bush hat for gardening, a bobble hat for the wind and a sixties Donovan type hat
for shopping.

Those women look wonderful in everything and so would you. Your wild Welsh hair is so charming.
