And she came up with that first line for the song about menopause.
That's what I was saying earlier about why I moved away from Hot Flush being the title because that's what menopause gets reduced to.
And of course, the more I learned about the menopause, the more I realized how
much more there is to it and how much more I was experiencing that was the medicals.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, just thinking about all the brain fog, worrying that I'd got dementia, all that kind of thing.
I just realized, I can't call this hot flush.
There's so much more to it.
And I didn't want it just to be about the menopause either.
No, no, I think not.
Because I think, I think after I'd written Happy Valley, which did hugely well in England, I think it went down pretty well in America as well.
I think people attribute me with knowing how to tell a good story.
So I think, I hope that's what it was, that people knew whatever it's about, it will be entertaining.
It will be fun to watch.
It'll be, it'll have layers.
It'll be interesting.
It'll be saying something and it'll be fun.

They were all pretty eager.
