A mossy green walk in the forest.

Group napping in the afternoon.

Made in Dagenham.

Being in the G&L women’s forum. A room of women in my department, fighting for equalities. I love that feeling.

TikTok.

Photos of the boys, including one of Alf really loving his bath!

Helping a woman up the stairs at the tube and she told me women are always better than men.

Completing a hard sudoku quickly without cheating and even really any difficulty. It’s been a while since it’s been easy!

The sun hitting my legs on the bench during a late lunch.

A lovely sunny volunteer day with no stresses.

The random tiny bubble floating along my road.

Speaking to a woman for her dissertation about vaginas and having a lovely feminist rant.

New dish. Cauliflower and grape salad.

Conversations on Love.

The big moon as I walked home from work. I don’t think she’s quite full yet but almost.

My investing Zoom call. It felt so good to encouraging others to do this too.

Sending Han cake.

Bought sexy new things for myself.

Listened to strong woman music as I bought groceries.

Made a vegan cheesy pasta sauce.

Colourful and great shaped leaves.

Listening to the WEP conference discussions whilst sewing vulvas.

Another bao bun for dinner. Two actually.

Stepping into the hot shower.

Leaping onto the train as the doors began to shut. Can’t believe I made it.

Getting my vulva cast in a lovely sunny studio.

Being in Brighton, walking along by the sea and remembering places I went with nan when I was a kid.

Birds singing as I meditated.

Squirrels hopping along fences as I walked to work.

Getting to talk to Jo about what happened with James and being able to fully shout and be annoyed and know the heavy traffic drowned me out and know that I’m right and I’m fine. Sometimes these things are better to do in person.

Also going to a lecture and hearing about menstrual huts.

Taking a walk through the park in the afternoon to clear my head. And standing in the warmth of the sun.

The last 5 minutes of work, chatting and laughing and remembering why is nice to talk and laugh.

The Women’s Forum. Being part of another feminist, female space. And getting BGP into the office. Hopefully.

This part of the canal always seems so sunny and beautiful.

Picking up The Vagina Bible. Not even read the first paragraph and a woman tells me how excited she is to read it, especially after the advertising has been banned.

Good Eggs lols about double enders.

Cutesie texts from James that made me happier than it really should have.

The vulva workshop. Such a lovely small group with really great conversations and some good laughs.

The beautiful pink clouds and blue sky as I walked home.

My boobs illustration! Looks amazing.

Going for a walk along the railway line in the sun

Going for a second walk and smelling the grass

Yoga. For courage. Perfectly timed.

Freddie smacking himself in the head with a wooden spoon whilst playing the saucepans

Using the ULEZ as an opener on Hinge. And it worked!

Evening plans cancelled. Hello sofa and pyjamas.

Bizarrely, listening to chat about feminism in The Archers on Women’s Hour.

Women sharing their love letters to their vulvas.

Giving myself time to put everything away calmly and as slowly as I wanted.

Smiling in the Uber on the way home, feeling proud of myself for raising another £302 for Bloody Good Period and for bringing sex and vulva positivity to another room of people.

An evening watching RuPaul with Jonny. Do, do, do, do the moves! 🤦

The International Women’s Day networking event at lunchtime.

Marmite on toast and a London Fog when I got home after a long day.

A lie in. I slept till 9 and it was wonderful.

A lovely walk around regent’s park and seeing Primrose Hill for the first time.

Period. End of Sentence. So uplifting. We are the creators of the universe.

My beautiful new plant. Big and green and beautiful. Carrying her back from the shop in the sunshine, with her leaves in my face was pure joy. Worth every penny.

Recording the podcast this morning. It made me feel much happier and more positive and really proud of the things I do.

Music in the sun.

Going to the Galentine’s day brunch, when I didn’t really want to. But it took me out of myself which was great. Also got to hang with Buster, this big, beautiful dog.

Discovering new music by women, singing about feminism and getting oral sex and it made me feel so much stronger and happier.

Our quiet flat back to me and Jonny for the night. Homemade pizza and silly TV.

The cup of tea. Feeling grown up and in control.

The sky between the building as the sun set. It was better than this photo. By about a million.

Meeting the Maya Centre and agreeing to volunteer for their art sessions to encourage body positivity. I feel *so* good about this. It brings together so many facets of my life and my skills and my passions. Vagina education, reclaiming your body, being proud of your genitals, fighting mental health, recovery from sexual assault, helping women, being part of the sisterhood, art and crafts and how they can help with healing, using my facilitator and trainer skills and doing more volunteering. This just feels so good. I’m so proud of me.

Christmas condoms (fair trade and vegan and hand delivered to my door)

An evening with Jen, Jo and Georgie, talking about sex and masterbation in the most open and lovely way possible. Whilst raising money for My Body Back Project. Double win.

Bought myself a new vibrator as an early birthday present

I can use the funding for Vagina stuff! Hurrah!

The Winter Crafts Wellbeing Hour. Lots of people came along and they really liked it!

An evening with Jonny. Eating dinner together. Watching shit TV. Eating too much.

Going to the mental well-being champions meeting. Really buzzed afterwards.

He said he wants to see me

A brilliant feminist who wants to be a part of the vulva workshops!

Smiles in yoga. I really needed the yoga today.

Lots of walking through London, listening to music. I really liked the song about the black Atlantis.

Period book launch. Photos, red blobs and tons of freebies.

Taking photos in the period photo booth with Jo

Beautiful sunny autumn days. Sitting on the bench in the sun under the leaves.

Knowing people at the period festival.

A roomful of period positive people.

Going to the library for the first time. And coming out with four brilliant books by women.

Doing some more Japlanning. Hello veggie restaurants in Tokyo.

Lying on the floor and reading a book in one sitting. Then another.

This tweet.

Holding a meeting at work about ideas and feeling in charge and creative. And learning about the ULEZ stuff and just feeling like my boss really likes me and is happy I’m there.

Dinner party with Alec and Jo. Especially chat about Jo’s big feet.

Another sweet message about This is a Vagina.

A flake turned into a free evening all to myself. It was total bliss.

Doing a bit of project work. I updated my teemill store and eventually figured out how to make an Instagram story.

A lovely coffee in the sun with Jo and deciding to set up Bloody Women. Or something similar.

Volunteering at BGP. I wasn’t really looking forward to it but it was actually really nice.

An afternoon with Jen. Sun walks, a picnic in the park and Floundering with Maria.

Getting this message from someone on This is a Vagina. So lovely.

Yep. Four today. It’s been a lovely day.

Being filmed for a documentary. The artist was so lovely and I felt so proud to have been there and taken part.

Having photos of my vulva taken too.

Shuffleboard at the pub.
