A calm Period Party where I actually felt a lot less flustered and bothered about ‘hosting’ because of my period.
Running for a lot longer on my run to work.
Realising the quiet women were shy, not uninterested.

Having to cut off a conversation with dad because 3600 tampons were arriving on my doorstep. When I text him to apologise he said not many dad’s would hear that story from their daughter and he was proud of me for helping a good cause. He’s such a babe.
Stuart came round mine and drunk weird strawberry gin with my housemates and it was lovely. I like having him here to stay.
Meeting Cordelia and hearing all about how the workshops work. And the period burlesque.
Second date. He’s funny.
Kissing. Lots of kissing.
Period! And without all the usual hormones and pain. Very bizarre. But right on time. Can’t believe it’s finally settled into a pattern.
Still walking to work with a smile on my face. Especially over that bridge in the sun. I think I might be my favourite view in London. Can’t believe I’m enjoying working with children so much.
Watched The Martian with Matt and Scarlett. Can’t believe I liked another film.
MRF. Geeking out on recycling.

I’n on holiday! And the air smelt like holiday!
The Period Party! Everything about it was just so amazing! The unexpected friends, the love, the laughter, the vulvas, the glitter, the donations and the pub quiz.
Not to mention the accidental anal sex talk in front of my boss, sharing the vulva book and having people tell me that I’m hilarious. Guys, stop…
What an amazing evening! I’m totally buzzing and so proud of myself.
