Last night I really hankered for a dance party. I wanted to wear my silver boots and glossiest face and just throw my limbs everywhere until I drop dead. Goodness. I'm not alone, I think. My fb newsfeed fills with photos taken yesteryear, of smiling happy sweaty faces in pubs and clubs and hotel ballrooms, shiny moons in the spangled dark.

The cycle between my periods has gotten shorter in the last six months, from 30-31 days to 26 now. I google why: an indication, perhaps, that my ovaries contain less eggs "than expected", which is typical in the years leading up to perimenopause. Instantly I emit a wee howl at the idea. Sigh.
