Sun finally showed itself again after a week of grey so lovely to be out on the bike again. Oxfordshire is hilariously prone to flooding though so had a minor change of route when I hit this, I promise there's a road under it 😅

And this was pretty awesome, out for drinks in Oxford woth friends and decided to wear a dress this time, first time I've ever tried it out in public, I can't even remember how long I wanted to do this, but I finally did, and it was everything I ever wanted it to be

Early stage R&D is probably my absolute favourite part of the job, spent the morning putting together this extreamly inelegant setup for a cryogenic test of high purity metal

The context! Wanted to give the office a small thank you for being awesome last week and a small distraction from me presenting the way I like to for the first time there so made them banana bread. One cinnamon sugar and one chocolate

I have no way of properly expressing how happy this made me when I saw it updated this morning, keeping the company name in because they've been awesome through this last couple of weeks

Well, it's 2am and my brain is still completely wired so time for another side to side! Same start photo to last weekend, think it's getting on for 16 months now. I'm just really happy looking at this, seeing how far I've come and realising now, I never need to put this girl away again!

A couple of selfies from this weekend. This is what is was all for, every difficult and scary thing I've done since I decided to try, it was all for this, to just be out living my life as the real me. I still can't believe it's finally happening but I'm so happy to be here now!

Back chilling after a pretty nice trip to Oxford, sure being poked in the face with a needle for an hour isn't my idea of a fun time, but it's nice to realize being Tamsin in public is feeling kind of easy now

Great success on the latest scheme, for completely scientific reasons I now have a magnet in a giant lump of hardened epoxy!

In moments like this where I'm on the edge of a huge step, looking at photos like this always helps me. It reminds me why I made every difficult step before and why I'm still going, finding this woman has been the greatest experience of my life, and despite everything I don't regret it for a second

Think I nailed the study/spare room setup, put the curtains and futon in today, just need a few decorations and maybe a plant or two and it'll be done!

Trying out some new recipes and pretty happy with how this one turned out, pasta with a lentil cream sauce, could be a touch thicker but tastes awesome!

Still slowly building up a reasonable wardrobe, found this black jacket which I'm really liking, think it'll be perfect for this time of year. Gonna be taking it out for a proper spin to Oxford next week!

This has got to be like the 6th rainbow I've seen this week, so I'm going to completely ignore I went somewhere wet and interpret it as the universe telling me something 🌈

It's been kinda weird being back here this week, last time was May last year, and it was when I was here last that I kind of took time to stop and think about whether attempting transition was really the best option for me. And now I'm here again about to make that move into being out day to day
