Sitting out in the garden at 9am with a cup of tea, listening to the birds, feeling the sun and chatting to Kenny.

Using my weights again.

Two naps.

The smell of bay from a nearby street party.

A warm wander in the evening, with park smells and golden light and fresh air.

Working on the vulva booklet. It’s going to be so good! I’m so excited about it!

Going out for another walk to get some sunshine.

Delicious fancy Waitrose hot cross buns from Jo for the recovery period.

Watching TV with Jonny, plus commentary. Location Location Location is always a winner.

My tulips.

The sunshine.

New glasses.

Playing silly games with the Eggs.

The sunshine.

Sideways microwave.

Standing in the sun outside the house just for a moment.

Ultimate Beastmaster and pizza with Jonny.

Clean bedsheets (finally) and new pillow cases.

Lying on my bed in the afternoon sunshine, with a hot water bottle and a book and trying to relax. No work today.

A butterfly on the parkland walk.

Petek with Jonny. Actually IN the restaurant. And the owner came over to talk to us and see how we are. And he obviously sent us over the free baklava at the end too!

Jonny ringing me to ask for a cup of tea.

When the sun came out after another shower and shone through the green leaves.

The weird indoor exotic zoo I found in someone’s garden.

Getting to be out in the sun for work.

Seeing Sarah in the office.

Picking at my feet after the foot peel mask.

Dog jam.

Still knowing all the words to Lil Kim.

Leaving at half 4, walking through the park in the sunshine.

Spending the afternoon outside in the sun for an anti idling event. Sunny sun sun sun.

Drinks with James. We shared a surprising amount. It was nice to see him.

PIZZA.

The little yellow bird that visited the tree outside the window as I had breakfast.

The way the light fell across the plants.

A slow, headphone-free wander along the New River Walk at lunchtime. Tiny moorhens, blossom and sunshine.

Watching the oat milk move around in my tea

Sunshine. Cheery cheery sunshine.

20,000 Instagram followers

The sunshine in the morning, looking up at it from my bed.

Coffee and courgette cake with Jo, making light of it.

Going to see her new flat and eating biscuits and tea and beer and watching TV.

Doing some embroidery again

Cleaning. I like having a clean house

Being outside having a walk in the sun along the railway line

Sunshine! Such blue skies.

The child trolleys in Takayama.

Kyoto. Oh my god. I’m in love. This city is beautiful.

The outrageously beautiful garden outside the restaurant.

The shops filled with gorgeous clothes.

The crunchy chocolate things.

The charcoal incense.

I love this city. I’d like to stay.

Getting an appointment so quickly. It feels a bit like it was meant to be.

Lying on my bed after work reading, with the sun shining through the tree and onto my bed.

Just having Jonny around. Listening, making me laugh, talking. I’m glad he’s here.

Another lunchtime lying in the park

A night at home, on my own, just pottering. Finally!

Everything coming together for Thursday – signs arriving, bike tags out, posters up. I’m almost there.

So much blood. I’m so happy my period is here. Please fix my mood.

The beautiful sunshine. I love love love a bright blue sky.

Listening to Keisha ‘Woman’. Really hit me today.


Going to the White Cube. That place is so damn shiny and​ reflective. I love it. Also the room with all the semi reflective glass rooms – so good!

Going for a walk through the little park and sitting by the pond for a while, watching the slow tadpole prosession. I felt like I couldn’t get enough of smells of the plants into my lungs. And there was a nice man who stopped too see if I was okay.

Coming back and doing some gardening. To think I almost stayed in bed. It turned out to be a really lovely afternoon.

Oh and then Matt and I watched a brilliant volcano documentary with a hilarious voiceover. Plus ice cream. 


Sunshine. When we really thought there would be none.

Beautiful views over Piran.

Finding our way onto the secret rooftop bar for a beer.


The sun, the birds, meditation. General happiness. I feel like the happiness could just burst out of my chest today.

You Can Call Me Al on the tube. Remembering Al’s wedding.

Conference giggles. The adorable old lady, stroke poo, texting Jen. And Joff. And Danny.

A bloody brilliant dog photo.

This hilarious article about asking the irish parliament their views on Beyonce.

Being outside in the sunshine and blue skies, delicious coffees and kiwi cafes. What a perfect day.

P.s. and an unexpected but fun WhatsApp phone call about British reservedness


Sunny garden coffee mid pack with Bivan. 

Beyonce came on the radio as I was driving the van in the sun. The perfect moment.

Walking home with that lovely spring smelling air, the light fading. The light has just been everything today.

Waking up to a room full of sunshine. The sun actually felt warm on my face today. Every year you forget what it feels like and every year it’s a joy to experience again.

Going to two exhibitions in the afternoon. Sticks with Dicks and Slits was funny and the Museum of Transology was really interesting. Also just having time to myself to go was super lovely.

The tube driver. ‘There is no need to rush. I will be driving that tube too. As long as we all cross the platform, we’ll get there together.”

Finally getting a lunch break and being able to go outside in the sun and be away from everyone and everything.
A warm evening, walking through Shoreditch.
Dressing up. It feels good to feel good.

Swimming through the sunlight.
A quiet morning to myself. Breakfast in the garden, a little nap and an orgasm by a sunny window.
The carpet warming party.

Breakfast in the garden. Toast, fresh coffee, a magazine and sunshine.
Cutting the grass with the strimmer.
Lee Miller: A Women’s War at the Imperial War Museum. The cycle powered hairdressers made me smile. And the production of Vogue in the 1940’s.  And just what a badass she was.

Bashing out a few surveys quickly. It felt good to get some done.
