What a lovely bush

After a week of sex-related things (of which more later), yesterday I ended up going blackberrying with a girlie mate. We were going to make jam but ended up spending so long picking blackberries that we didn't have time to do anything else.

Felt very country-girl, particularly when we stumbled across some sloes and decided to pick them too to make sloe gin. However, after my usual sex filled week, it was hard keeping a straight face when the conversation went something like this:

Girlie mate: Look at that gorgeous bush.
Me: God, it's got some really juicy ones.
GM: Look at the size of this one.
Me: Ooh, this one's so ripe it just came off in my hand.

It was all getting terribly Carry On so we decided to focus on the blackberries instead. Got five and a half pounds of them and a pound and a half of sloes so were quite chuffed.

This week, in the usual sex-filled run of activities, on Monday I was doing filming with ITV for a show about Ann Summers. I've been given a load of sex toys to test for them and one of the things they wanted me to do was give them a run-down of my 'toy-box' - the thirty or so toys that I've kept after reviewing them. It felt very odd sitting on my bed saying 'and this toy is great because the head rotates but I don't understand why it has to light up' and knowing that this is my job.

Wrote some articles - one for the Daily Star on how to shag in hot weather, loads of sex education ones for the cards I'm doing and some more for the Lovers' Guide.

Had another FREE meeting, sorting out the kitemark stuff and met a fab striptease artist who we've recruited for the next Lovers' Guide video. The script is finished and we're into pre-production, which is always fun. Sorting out studios and crew at the moment, with casting in the next few weeks. Casting is always a fun way to spend time - chatting to people about the video then asking them to get naked.

I love my life.
