On a packed commuting train and there is a toddler singing unaccompanied nursery rhymes at the top of his lungs (I can only assume he has headphones on or something - i can’t see him) and it is giving me life this morning. Occasionally he breaks up his renditions with loud lion roars. What a guy.

I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.
Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn
