SCROLLING
• RIP Angela Lansbury. This is one of my favourite interviews with her, for the cover of The Gentlewoman (Opens in a new window) magazine, back in 2012.
• A new menopause in the workplace survey (Opens in a new window) finds the 50s are women's most challenging decade at work...
• If you struggle with distraction, this piece on "brown noise" could be a gamechanger (Opens in a new window). I'm a fan of pink noise, and find it helps me concentrate when all else fails. (White noise is too tinny!) I use the Sleepsounds app, which has white, pink and brown noise as well as plenty of others.
• Just when you thought it was safe to go out in your slippers; the unwelcome return of dangerous shoes. (Opens in a new window)
• Harvey Weinstein is back in court. (Opens in a new window) And this time the stakes are even higher.
• Insightful interview with Esther Perel: why "love is not a permanent state of enthusiasm". (Opens in a new window)
