Happy Monday!

It’s funny how often whenever I have a conversation with anyone about this newsletter, people apologise for not being paid subscribers, and I tell them it doesn’t matter.

I don’t really do this for the money.

There are things that it’s important to get out there right now, I say, and I try to communicate them as best I can.

The other side to this, I should also say, is that what I do in this newsletter is actually highly skilled, and I deserve to be paid for it.

But then the other side to that is that when I think about you kind people who have paid, it’s my turn to feel guilty because I think I never give you anything.

There you are, you’ve trusted in me, and I should give you something special.

Last night, I had an idea of something I might tell you, and then was too tired to film it.

It’s to do with what happened to me yesterday when I made a speech at the rally for Women’s Day outside the Scottish Parliament.

Something very special happened that I would like to share with you.

If anyone else is interested in it, well, you know what to do.

And I hope everybody, in the midst of all this turmoil and stupidity and suffering, in spite of everything, has a good, loving and creative week.
