Jilly Cooper RIP

[Michael Rolls]

Dame Jilly Cooper has died, following a fall, aged 88. Whist I have never read any of her books, years ago she wrote an entertaining newspaper column - I believe in the Sunday Telegraph - which I loved. One phrase will always stick  in my memory
'you know that you are  a slut when you find yourself going through the laundry basket,  looking for the least dirty bra and knickers!

" 'And may her hereafter be filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs.' "  Camilla said this about her old friend - allegedly !  So sad when it's unexpected.  RIP

News said she died after a fall, that's scary. I see she was walking with a stick so I guess she was wobbly on her feet, poor lady.

I didn't realise she was that old. Mind you I don't really realise how old I am. Well except when I first get up.

Falls are bad news when you get older. Especially so for women where osteoporosis could be present. Not sure if men get that.

Anyway RIP to someone whose name I haven't come across for quite a while until now. Sadly the case for many.
