Empty Nest - episode 4

Neither of us did the typical OE, but we've both discovered the joys of travelling later in life. We chat about the highs and lows of travelling when you're not a 20 something.

Zzzzzz we love sleep but sometimes it's hard to get enough of it. We chat about sleep and vent about not getting enough.

We talked about the dreaded school reunion. On the one hand, it's great to see old school mates and catch up on the past 2,3,4 decades. On the other hand, do you leave feeling judged on where your life is at and how good you look for your age?  

Sophie and Nerida chat about the ups and mostly downs of trying to find the right swimwear. The experience of being ignored by retail staff and the reality of having a not-so-perfect body anymore.

We talk about that time in life where your children start to leave home and it's just you and your partner - argh! It can be tough, how does one get through it? Is it all bad or are there things to look forward too?

We chat about swearing and whether it's ok or not? Also the way that language has changed over the years.

We're chatting about the mysterious world of makeup. Why is it such a thing? Why do we love it and how is it that our daughters are so good at it?

We're talking marriage - what does it mean now? What were our expectations? What would you tell your kids about marriage?
