This is not the kind of insightful and witty commentary I subscribed for, Kathryn. Your rants about your property development hustle, holidays and an anecdote about how you pissed off your boss and then got kicked off your column, implying it wouldn’t happen if you were a man, is trite stream-of-consciousness garbage. The writing you used to put effort into was good, and this ain’t it. Unsubscribed. (Maybe in your mind this comment is misogynistic too.)
Well, Michael has unsubscribed, so he's presumably not going to see this. However, I'll respond anyway: the reason I don't charge for subs on here is because I want to write exactly what I like, when I want to write it — and if that means an eight week gap while I'm busy doing other stuff, then so be it. On the other hand, it felt right to say something about why I hadn't been here... As I say in the header, this is unfiltered, straight from my head and on to the page. I wouldn't write this piece in a newspaper—and nor would I be allowed to. It's not a column, per se, because it doesn't 'hang together' thematically. But it's what I wanted to say yesterday afternoon. So there we have it.
Also, I seem to have acquired a big bunch of new subscribers - so that's nice. Thank you and HELLO!
