The very enthusiastic man who discovered the park this morning and really loved it.
Opening the woods and being there alone for a bit.
Using my company credit card for the first time.
Freshly baked bread and real butter stolen from someone else in the fridge.
Incontinence at the bakery.
Canceling the date and coming home to comfy trousers, podcasts and sewing.
Typing on my home laptop. I haven’t done it in a while and I love the noise it makes.
A brief but friendly chat under a tree, in the rain, with a passing man.
A day on my own in the office.
Silly TikToks.
Quite a lot of time out in the park. Spotted a cool moth I haven’t seen before.
A night on my own.
Got to see my coil in my uterus.
Getting to walk around the park twice for work. And it was so sunny!
The stupid toilet seat at the hairdresser’s
An evening alone in the flat, singing and dancing whilst making dinner and not wearing underwear.
A bath.
Jonny went out so I could be untalkative without feeling bad.
The sun is starting to come back out. Thank god!
First day on the new job and I got to trim hedges in the sunshine and sit outside listening to the birds at lunchtime.
Meeting Misty, the teeny tiny 9 week old puppy.
Vegan duck pancakes and a night in on my own.
Finished a great book.
Finding out that mum and dad’s new house is actually not where I thought it was and is somewhere better suited to them.
Had an evening to myself.
Sending voice notes to Rosie and Tash about the awful date I had this morning.
My brother sending me a photo of Vietnamese milk melons.
Having the flat to myself in the afternoon.
Beautiful patchy sunlight through the tree.
Some time on my own in the flat. I didn’t realise how much I needed it.
And going out for a short walk. I needed that too.
Bright purple flowers.
Pea and mint soup in a nice cafe, reading, sat in the faint sunlight.
Moisturising my poor itchy vulva. Although it does feel nice to moisturise.
Autumn leaves. So bright and colourful.
Walking through the park on the way home. Smelling the nature smells, looking into the pond and feeling quiet.
Sewing vulvas, on the floor of my living room, listening to podcasts.
Hooooome. No more hen party.
Lying in the park, texting James.
Hearing that 100 Vaginas made the young women feel much happier with their vulvas. 😍
Also my plant has the beginnings of tomatoes and I went out for lunch on my own again. Hello vegan food and silence.
Barry in Archway. So bloody lovely and helpful. Took me right out of my bad mood.
Clicking my back at the end of yoga. That felt very needed.
Knowing I have the flat to myself for a week and a half. Perfect timing as my PMT was outrageous today and now I can live exactly as I want until it goes away.
A day by myself. Reading loads of my big heavy book on the sofa.
Finishing my silver top for the wedding.
Cooking three new recipes.
Yoga. Plant pruning. Sunny walk.
ASMR on Spotify all day long
A night, and the house, to myself
Office Sarah and her small fart story
Beautiful Islington. God I love it here.
Going for a coffee and a pastéis de nata at lunchtime on my own, reading my book in the sunny cafe.
I had a proper to do list and actual things to do. It felt good.
The beautiful studio
The beautiful pants I made
Embroidering alone to a podcast.
I went for a walk in the park after work. The darkening sky was a really consuming grey. It felt very other-worldly and dream like.
I was one of very few people in the park. At times I could see no one else. Which for a London park is quite odd. But exactly what I wanted.
The orange glow of the houses and insides of buses as the sky got darker made it feel perfectly wintery.
UPDATE:
Ok so I know it’s called three little things but I clearly posted too early today. Just watching the most incredible firework display out my window. Best fireworks I’ve ever seen! Incredible.
