Aunt Emily is on the beach with her menopausal friends. Everyone is talking about Davina’s documentary last night, and discussing the fact that no-one can get through to the GP’s Surgery for love nor money today. One of the girls says that every pharmacy from here to Dundee is out of oestrogen gel. Sandy says she definitely watched the documentary, but she can’t really remember it very well. Everyone is hot and flushed, despite the cloudy day. Ada is thinking about some wild swimming, but is very anxious about seaweed. Aunt Emily is thinking about scones.
