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

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.

Panda lamp 😂

Pho for lunch

The launch of Womenhood. The book that has my vulva and my story in it. I loved seeing Liv’s mum talking, hearing the cunt poems and being part of something quite great.

The Female Persuasion. I read over half the book today and finished it. So good.

Trying the tiny community cafe in the church. And sticking around when I realised I would have to talk to people. It was something different.

Getting a room of senior men in a meeting to realise I knew what I was talking about with one sentence. Suddenly they started looking at and talking to me, rather than just Andrew. That’s always a good feeling.

A massage for my neck. Minimal talking and some good advice for stretching my muscles.
