My fifth decade has been my best to date: I met my partner, finally got to grips with my career, ran an ultra- marathon and much mote. All of which happened after leaving my unhappy marriage and moving back in with my parents, I turn 46 soon and I’m so happy. I think it can take reaching this iii & 4 age to challenge yourself on the accepted wisdom of what a ‘good life is. So I want to reassure all your younger readers that you have so much to look forward to! Liz DREAM DATES I really enjoyed Laura Antonia Jordan’s column, Why a ‘blah’ date is even worse than a bad one (30 May). Dating is a fascinating game, right? One person’s mediocre date is another’s dream come true. But I’m definitely Team Laura — the blah date is always a horrible anticlimax — followed by self-pity and a family-sized Cadbury’s bar. ’m currently single but happy and certainly not ready to accept less than really, really great. So, fellow singletons, don’t settle for ‘blah’ when ‘phwoar’ is out there! Clare REFUGEES FACE RACISM Responding to Polly’s column, Poland: compassionate to refugees, draconian on abortion rights (2 May), Sharon writes ‘the country has been amazing in helping Ukrainian refugees. But Poland is not amazing to brown or Black refugees, even those fleeing Ukraine (students were Chis | = L. held back by border guards). Poland is amazing with white refugees. Also, alot of Ukrainians have Polish heritage — it’s a bit like ‘let’s take in our cousins who are being attacked by our mutual enemy (Russia)’. I say this as a Polish person. Maya 1,000 LITTLE CUTS Matthew Fray’s article “Zhe dishes I left by the sink ended my marriage (16 May) almost made me wish I could show it to my ex-husband and ask him if he understood it yet. Like Matthew says, it wasn’t just those little things that hurt so much, more the fact that my feelings were dismissed. Donna NEVER MISS GRAZIA! = Download our app from the iOS or Android app stores.

Now, an inquiry has laid bare the extent of this inequity. Charity Birthrights found Black and brown women are told their ‘defective’ bodies are to blame for their and conditions going undiagnosed. Women also report facing invasive questions about immigration status. We stand behind Birthrights’ call for new guidance for medics and an acknowledgement that Until that happens, women’s lives will remain at risk. How to talk (and think) about money in the cost of living crisis IF COVID WAS acrash course in us finally, fully understanding that a few people have A Lot, while everyone else has Far Less (/ Nothing At All), what the hell will the cost of living crisis be? How much more of Rishi Sunak making The Sunday Times’ Rich List while 77-year-old Elsie, who can’t afford to heat her home, rides the bus to keep warm, can we endure before... What? Revolution, or weary resignation, engulfs us? It’s gonna be another rocky couple of years, my loves; you needn’t be a hawk-eyed economist to see that — ora raging Corbynite to resent it. Iam neither, though I do think class is the issue that matters most, yet is most routinely ignored. I can get chippy about it, particularly how it’s impacting the arts and media, guaranteeing a future of news, TV, music, books and cinema created only by People With Money, because no one else can afford to break in. Think about what that'll mean, in terms of perspectives favoured — and talent lost. Though maybe that’s the piffling side- concern of a woman who isn’t having to choose between heating and eating, who hasn’t been told by MP Rachel Maclean she just needs to get a better job to shore up future finances, or that, should she be forced to shoplift to feed her family, new police recommendations propose leniency in prosecutions, so fine. ‘ Makes absolutely i everything you own look a touch i] more Audrey é Hepburn. - Actually literally in my basket, now. But how to help those who are? I have one idea. It’s small; it’s not going to feed the hungry, but it might ease some stigma. What if we de-shamed dosh - or rather, the absence of dosh? Stop equating money with success and the lack of it with failure? Stop I'm an absolute sucker for punctuation in a product name. . Lo RIBBED COTTON : ANYTHING It's so the summer of revering those who have it as innately superior, those who don’t as people with a lurgy we'll catch if we get too close? [heard a report into the cost of living crisis on the radio recently in which the reporter referred to spiralling numbers of people ‘admitting’ to debt. This was a compassionate item on the pity of new poverty, yet the use of ‘admitting’ felt gross: like debt is a crime, as opposed to an inevitability for people who once chugged along OK, but are now so suddenly and horribly reduced — by factors far beyond their control — they’re staring food banks square in the eye. As for money being a signifier of superiority? Come on! It can’t have been just me who watched the Wagatha Christie court case while wondering: at what point — precisely, to the penny — does money stop making your life lovely and start enabling you to make daft decisions that ultimately make your life completely shit? Poverty is a trap — but it seems like extreme wealth might be one, too. So yes, I'd say a little reframing of money was in order. I’m not talking burning the bankers or eating the rich (some of whom I know and rather like), more a realistic assessing of what money really says: about those who have it — and those who do not. And this is totally Studio 54, if Studio 54 did athleisure. Which it should have done. 1976.
