Welcome back to Sandi's book of rooms!

It's been a while, so Sandi thought it high-time to check-in and see how you're doing, and what a welcome sight that is as we find ourselves in lockdown part 2 of 2020.

In this one-off episode, Sandi explores the date of 12th November, which happens to be the day that gave birth to the World Wide Web and changed our lives forever.

We also learn who Pudge Heffelfinger was, that Emperors shouldn't be called 'Michael', and that blowing-up a whale is never a good idea.

We also, as usual, will hear about some amazing women the history books have neglected to document - so thank heavens that Sandi has written her own almanac - inspired to do so by this very series.

So sit back and relax once more in the warm glow ... you were missed.

Hello there, hope you're doing OK? In this episode, we can practically hear the engine revving, as Sandi prepares to take to the road and enjoy the kind of freedom we could have only dreamed of in recent times.

In order to spend time with much missed family and to take a well earned break, this shall be the final episode in the current series of We Will Get Past This.

Today, Sandi thinks about the women who blazed a trail on the roads, allowing us the privilege of independence today - it's a privilege not lost on any of us right now.

As always, we hear about women who have been forgotten - or worse, removed from the annals of history.

Even the overlords of Wikipedia seem to feel strongly about which women should be included on their pages, feel free to change that opinion, because you are indeed free to do so, whenever you like.

But for now at least, Sandi bids a fond farewell and thanks you for stopping-by to say hello during these difficult few weeks and months.

If you think you might miss these snippets of calm, why not go back and listen to them again - surely there will be things you would have forgotten?

You can also WATCH this series on Sandi's YouTube channel, Vox Toks.

Also, if you think a friend might benefit from the escapism of this series, then please do pass it along.

Take care, be kind ...We Will Get Past This.

Hello, how are you? Most of us have been living life in lockdown in elasticated waistbands, slouchy sweatshirts and no bra. Our bodies will go into shock the next time we put on a pair of jeans, or suit and tie! Today Sandi is pondering the clothes we wear and what is deemed acceptable attire for women. It's very difficult to ride a bike in skirts and corset - let alone fight the patriarchy, But who decided that women shouldn't wear the trousers and which countries have been the slowest in allowing the freedom of allowing the female species to don a pair of strides?

Most of us are beginning to wear 'normal' clothes again as we emerge into the new world, so Sandi is doing the same and will begin to ease this show. She'll take a break for a few days and release the last episode on Friday 4th July 2020 .... just in time for the pubs to reopen.

Until next week, take care ...We Will Get Past This.
