My Mother, For The Last 20 Years

I'd Love To Adopt, But Having A Daughter, Daisy, Who's In The Middle Of Her Teens, I'm Now Thinking: Is This A Time To Start All Over Again Or Is This A Time To Realise Those Child-rearing Years Are Over?

I Care So Much Less, Now, About Going Up The Ladder; If I Cared About The Ladder I Would Be Doing It All Very Wrong.

Ok, I Wasn't As Successful As, Say, Julia Roberts, But I'd Spent Years In A Very Respectable Career, Some Big American Films But A Host Of Other Smaller, Really Exciting, Maybe Experimental Films, Being Paid Rubbish But Working With Fine People, That Was What I Thought I Was Known For.

So Often People Say Something And You Realise You Haven't Really Heard It.

I Think Work Really Is A Life Saver, Because It Carries You Forward, Which Is Good.
