Yesterday I spoke at PADA's Parliamentary Breakfast for perinatal mental health. It was such a treat! To have government ministers right in front of us as we detailed gaps in service provision that risk too many of our lives after we have our babies, an absolute privilege and honour.

The pressing need in our society is too huge.

My cat just yelled at every bus passenger to and from the vet office. What an unruly companion.

I know, I know - it's been a long summer, and we're a bit burnt out and sick of the parliament website. But there's more submissions to go.

Today I've had Long Covid for 1000 days.

I can't recommend it but this cheap supermarket cake is always great.
