The beautiful beautiful Thames by Oxford. So peaceful and idyllic.

Swimming in the Thames.
Being on the boat with mum and dad, having some nice conversations and watching the quiet watery world go by.
The man on the bus who told me we were in Finsbury Park because he’d overheard me asking when I got on. So sweet I wanted to cry.
Ruby’s pleasure talk. Meeting a woman who had seen me at WOW, in both capacities. And a woman who had drawn me naked. And realising I don’t need to be like Ruby, I can be by myself.
Walking along the canal in the sun after work. Sitting on a bench, watching a cat watch me from inside a canal boat.

Coming up to the boat to see my parents. Watching the Vicar of Dibley. Sitting by the fire.

My boyfriend managed to change our train seats so we won’t be sat at a table. You have no idea how happy this makes me.
A day spent deciding all the things we need to buy for our big trip. We rarely buy anything so this is so exciting. Especially for me. I actually love buying stuff. I’ve just managed to keep it under control for the last few years. Tomorrow will be even more exciting. We’re going SHOPPING!
Smelling wood smoke from one of the boats on the canal
Seeing my favourite type of duck, the Mandarin Duck, out on the canal. And fighting his corner for some bread.
Chocolate biscuits. Probably one too many. But they’re so good.
