The extra volunteer work day. The weather was GLORIOUS and everyone was lovely and it went so well!
Exploring PW with Louisa. And a little bit of moaning about Syd.
Texting mum throughout the Bake Off final.

Being with all the family at Fam Camp. Han was happy to be here, Fred played with all of us, the sun is out.
Sitting around a camp fire laughing with Soph, Holly and mum.
Being in the countryside, smelling fresh air, being in a field with sheep.
The beautiful blue sea.
The coastal walk.
Getting to know (and joke with) Andrea, Graham and Doreen. And feeling like an adult with them.
Going through the New Forest on the train. I love that place.
Adam singing new lyrics in the van.
Big hugs from mum and dad.
My train ticket to POO.
My laundry and cleaning bottles arrived from Smol!
A walk to new areas of the borough.
Soup, like how mum used to make it.
Our beautiful tree pits on the street.
Mum telling me that another boater called out to ask after my cyst as they passed by.
Reading in the sun after work in the park.
Seeing my family again.
Playing with Freddie and he giggles and smiles and trusts me.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum TUMMY!
Sean arrived!
My parents got to see Fred finally.
Went to the office and spoke to people and saw exciting police things.
Buying a fan and putting it together.
Seeing my mum in the dungarees I made for her.
A nap under the blanket, by the window, with the sunlight peaking through the leaves.
Sewing mum’s dungarees. As a distraction but also I’m so happy she wants a pair!
Sunbathing in the park. Not technically allowed yet but reading in the sun for an hour was bliss.
Han sent round two cakes to cheer me up.
The sunlight and the daisies.
Getting an appointment for my trans vaginal scan today. So speedy! And they could see the cyst. All 7cm of it.
Mum wants a pair of my dungarees, not just for fancy dress.
Looking at my nine growing tomatoes. And telling the Remainers about them.
My big pile of sewn vulvas. I’m getting there.
Mum sending me a photo of vegan coffee cakes. I feel a bit bad about not wanting to go this weekend after that. She loves seeing us and she loves feeding her family.
Walking to work through the park in the morning sun. It cheered me up more than I thought it would.
Mum is fine! Thank god.
Watching a film by myself in the living room. Plus a couple of chocolate biscuits.
Mum’s blood test results are back. It’s pretty much certain that she doesn’t have ovarian cancer!
I might be in WOW twice! Vulva workshops are being considered!
Actual period blood. Please let this be the end of the hormone mayhem.
A night with Sarah. Lumiere and chips in a gay pub.
Photos of me and mum wearing my vulva t-shirts.
A beautiful, sunny walk with them.
Telling them all about Body of Women. A big moment and it went well. And then mum gave me a big hug again before bed and told me how proud of me she is and she was sorry for being rubbish when it all happened. It feels good to have told them.
The clitoris animation.
Walking and talking to mum on my way to my haircut. I was in a really good mood.
Getting a different hairdresser. He didn’t miss bits like Maria does.
Walking to the next village, singing loudly in the sun. I never get to sing out loud anymore.
Purple potatoes from Abel and Cole. They made the water turn blue.
A walk along the river.
Lighting a fire. Kind of badly it turns out. And smelling that fresh countryside air in the evening. I love it so much.
