The seedlings have grown enormously. Especially the courgettes.
The busy bird activity outside my window this morning – blackbirds and blue tits all diving into and out of the ivy.
The fox on the path.
Weaving my basket and thinking about my therapy.
The gentle wood smoke smell in my bedroom.
Get the flat to myself for longer. A bit bittersweet but still, it’s nice being here alone.
New laptop riser. Quite like it actually.
Unbelievably pathetic tinsel in the office.
The canal looking pretty. Although not so good in this photo.
A woman messaging me to tell me she had just had her smear great and all her friends are encouraging each other to go for theirs.
Getting to chat to a few colleagues in the office today. Matt, Andrew, Adam, Spencer, Abdi and Gerry.

A really really good mango.
The Eggs trying to work out what Alec’s drawing was.
I went outside. For the whole day! Lots and lots of walking.
Being in the office (briefly) and talking to people. It felt quite normal. Plus I got to print the dungarees pattern again.

Andrew: Well done to Libby for finding the pen after Adam lost it.
Sitting on a bench in the sun at the top of the park, reading.
And Han is here! I forgot how fun I feel with her.
Picking the right seat, facing towards the fun team. Meaning I got to join in conversations with Matt and Keith and get a toffee crisp out of the deal.
Cheese and onion pasty. First day of my period calls for hot cheese and carbs.
Night of lolz with Jonny. Pizza, mice, TV.

I’ve been invited to do a podcast.
A day of doing no actual work but lots of WOW thinking. I can’t believe it’s next weekend.
Lots of tea chat at work. I now know how many litres of water my office goes through a year (12,000), how many cups of tea that is (80,000) and how many that is a day (307). Useful.
Found a fiver in the leaves on the way to work. Looking at my feet pays off sometimes. Oh and I spent it on a pint.
Office bingo.
Drinks with Hol. Finally being able to talk to someone about everything in person. That was good.
Weird, bizarre but strangely entertaining acrobatic theatre. With a penguin mask.
Funny lunchtime. We haven’t all sat together in ages so it was nice. And the crossword wasn’t too bad for a change. Plus we all bullied each other which was fun.

My new toy. So far it’s just funny. So many settings.
The office mouse.
The office fox.
Mary Berry and Jonny. Plus Gu.

This dog stencil on the wall of the office I was in. Random and adorable
Walking across London Bridge with all the commuters, in the early morning sun. I think I was the only one grinning like a loon, excited to finally be one of those classic London commuters.
Writing the list of rules for the new company office. Including one that reads ‘call each other cunt if appropriate’
Three little things
