Female
Explains why, since her illness, she has made more time to relax.

 



But early in the afternoon, I always have a late afternoon rest and then I'm fine for the evening and don't have to go to bed till 11, you know. We're always up at half past six. So by, by five I'm ready for a rest.

I'm sleepy and I would advise people, even if they're quite young, especially if they've got families, to say: "This is my rest time." Perhaps before the children come back from school or whatever, and have that. That was my change that I always had, made sure if possible to have a rest.

And people feel you're very funny then when they say: "Could you come out and speak on such and such an afternoon?" And I said: "Well, I've got something in the evening you see." They think well: "Why can't she do both?" you know.
