21.

Whilst The Little Mister is out at Cub Camp, The Mister, The Little Miss and I went to Guernsey Pride 2021.

I had been asked if I would go and sing with the Rainbow Chorus as they were short of sopranos so I attended a couple of rehearsals and then sang today. It was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed singing some more ‘poppy; songs for a change.

Pride itself was great fun and The Little Miss enjoyed all the activities. It makes me so happy to see that my kids will grow up in a world where inclusivity and individuality is promoted and encouraged and they can choose to be who they want to be.

A brilliant day – well done Liberate – you did a great job 🙂

Today I took The Little Mister to his first Cub Camp. He had been really worried about it so I wasn’t sure he was going to agree to stay but he was so excited by the time he got there.

Apparently there are about 500 Beavers, Cubs and Scouts staying for all or part of this weekend and this makes it the largest Scout Camp in Europe in 2021!

19.

Had a fab afternoon down at The West Show with The Mister and the kids. I haven’t been to this show for years as I am usually working. We managed to find the This is Epic stand which was selling tickets for the great car giveaway… I have tickets if anyone wants to buy one!

We had a great time wandering about the tents, watching the attractions such as the dogs herding Indian Runner ducks, lawnmower racing and a guy on a motorbike. The kids also went on the climbing wall and the go-cards – seriously we might as well have started throwing money up in the air as soon as we walked through the gate!

We had a lovely time though and bumped into my Dad and loads of other people whilst we were there. I even saw my favourite police woman who was on her final public event before she retires in a few days. I will miss her lots!

18.4My morning started really early with a bodypump class and then I went into the gym with my friend and fitness instructor Jemma and we tested out how heavy I could squat. I managed to get to 70kg with relative comfort and think I can go heavier. I am really proud of this photo though. I lost a bit of weight doing Joe Wicks and have put some back on over the holidays. I will get back on the wagon after the holidays.

I am so proud that this rather large Mummy body is strong enough to get me through a full class and then still squat 70kg. I am happy that my body is strong and healthy and functional. It makes me smile when I can go into the gym in my funky leggings and stand next to a miserable looking man and lift heavy weights. Yeah, it makes me feel good, even if I hate the gym culture and intimidation.

My body may not be beautiful but it is bloody strong.

After that I went for a lovely walk with my sister and the kids. Good to catch up and to be out. Lovely to be on holiday.

I am being super organised and I am doing my baking for the North Show very early and putting it in the freezer as we will be camping when it is needed.

This buttermilk cakes looks pretty good, despite me having to remix it as I had forgotten to put the sugar in!

16.1My sister took this photo of me and The Little Miss.

I love it.

We look so alike and in many ways we are so similar in behaviour, stroppiness and characters.

I love her so much. My mini-me.

14.1I’d planned a beach trip this afternoon but the weather was disappointing.

Instead I managed to get the kids to fill in their forms for the Music and Sport Blue Peter Badge. It was a real struggle to get them to write anything at all!

A beautiful day today – warm and sunny and we spent most of it doing chores and other boring stuff like emptying the shed so we can demolish it and build a bigger and better one.

Later in the afternoon I managed to sit down with the magazine from the paper and a gin and tonic to have a quiet read for a few moments. It was lovely!

13.1

So, this evening I ended up making a guest appearance at Rainbow Chorus to help prop up their soprano section. There were lots of people there that I know and some I don’t – here is my friend Becky 🙂

I really enjoyed it – it was such fun to be singing some more pop songs and the atmosphere was lovely – accepting and generous. Just what I needed.

Before I met The Mister I lived an extremely gay life for a straight woman – I shared a house with gay men, I socialised with them. I watched gay films and went to gay clubs. I still have a huge variety of friends but life is a lot straighter than it used to be.

Tonight was fun, and next week I get to sing at Pride 🙂

12.1Dad’s garden is looking beautiful and he has some gorgeous, huge dahlias in bloom.

This one is especially stunning.
