Me! Although I don’t really hand write for my legal work so my fountain pain gets used when journalling.

I love a bit of local history!
It’s been 160 years since the subway first opened.
It was great to see the excellent restoration work carried out by the Crystal Palace Park Trust and to hear what’s next in store for the subway.

Enjoyed attending the drop in session at Crystal Palace Sports Centre finding out and having a say on the redevelopment works.
The works are much needed to modernise the centre and make it more accessible and sustainable.
I am concerned about the provisions for climbing 1/3

Had a great time attending Bromley Disability Pride this afternoon - a lovely afternoon of poems, songs, dances (including one where I joined in!) and an allotment talk.
Also got to meet the Mayor of Bromley (a fellow neurodivergent lawyer) and chat about neurodiversity and disability inclusion.

As a child, I would look at this view (top of Crystal Palace) and ask my mum if it was New York, although there were far less buildings back then.
Never tire of seeing this view.

Today I’m taking paracetamol.
Whilst pregnant.
SHOCK HORROR!
I’m feeling a bit under the weather - a combination of feeling run down and side effects from my Flu and RSV vaccines which I had yesterday (another thing that RFK Jr, Trump and Farage would probably love to weigh in on).

I’ve really struggled with my eating whilst being pregnant - hyperemesis and food aversions have been a nightmare.
Things are a little I’m now into my second trimester but I still have nausea and the aversions.
So quite proud to have helped cook (and eat!) a roast today!

Good luck! My pup is called Sylvie too and joined us to vote Green in the general election last year. I’m sure she’ll be out campaigning for our local elections next year.

Everything the Reform billionaires will have you believe is a lie. They just want money and power, they don’t care about ordinary people.

With a lovely traditional Eid dinner too which included allotment veg and lamb from our local butcher. I don’t eat much meat so when I do I go for the better quality stuff. Also, nothing beats homegrown veg!

Really proud of myself being able to make my favourite Turkish dessert, kadayif, for Eid today.
I’ve not had the energy for baking for a while (I’m ok) so it feels like a double win.
