## Resource

It's Thursday, which means it's the end of our week and, by God, we've covered some ground: kitchen roll, offal, the joys of Writtle, extra-strong pegs, the gradient of a Fab, Terry nappies, wife carrying, and vaginal oestrogen. We've covered it all - and Eve has learnt so much. The bi-generational conversation continues today. Fi's back on Monday and normal programming will resume. Plus, Olympic swimmer Mark Foster discusses his career, coming out, and his memoir 'My Double Life'.
