Dumb thing for the day- was peer pressured into having a bite of lovely shortbread by a very charming old lady. It was a tiny bite, but I could immediately feel it in my throat, and had a headache in five minutes. Learnings!

I made a gin, rooibus and lemon juice cocktail, with a mint leaf. I am now rather relaxed on the couch...

I am always amazed by what a stunning beach Lyall Bay has. The water is chilly but lovely.
The dog watching is superb.

My lazy morning has meant I've had time to ponder stuff (dangerous). I've been thinking about young trans people, the ability to look into the future & see one's self, & hope.

Sometimes the best way to end the day is to spend ages boogying around the kitchen making tea (chilli).

I try to not have heroes, but Dame Sue Bagshaw is one of mine, from when I met her in my early 20s. She was very helpful with professional advice regarding my readiness to transition.
