How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

• Midweek Catchup: Slipping, Sliding and Surviving the Cold Snap

  On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re braving the Baltic chill with toilet confessions, rap-induced bafflement at Hamilton and the ongoing saga of Karen’s chemo side effects. Whether you’re the type who cleans your loo with a brush or a wad of loo roll, you’ll feel right at home.It’s never just about the weather. It’s the insomnia, the metallic taste, the pockets of joy found in ginger puddings and planting tulip bulbs in the rain. And because no one tells you this, we also cover the sheer discipline required when you suddenly work from home in a house that’s somehow nine degrees.If you’ve ever wondered why your dog needs a dressing gown, why hugs from strangers hit differently now, or why your heating rules are basically a Presbyterian religion, this one’s for you.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].

• Midweek Catchup: Finding Pockets of Joy (and Other Accidents)

  On this week’s Midweek Catchup, Kaye and Karen prove that nothing is off limits — from cheap heaters and dodgy white diets to the hazards of sending a voice note mid-fart. Kaye confesses her accidental “audio offence,” Karen blames chemo for her skincare woes (and possibly Kaye’s face cream), and somehow it all ends with Kim Kardashian’s pubic-hair lingerie.There’s reflection too — on finding pockets of joy, dodging misery, and laughing through the rough patches with friends who tell it like it is.Because no one tells you how much you’ll need both laughter and brandy to get through midlife.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].
