Well, we clearly haven't gotten over gender inequality, if society feels the need to have a 'woman's equality day'.

You know what I'd like to see? And this goes for race, religion, LGBT, the disabled etc too - a society where we don't need these equality days and pride parades to campaign for equal rights. A society where everyone truly stands as equal, instead of the farcical equality we claim to today.

It's not impossible, but it's going to be bloody difficult to achieve. The need for a hierarchy (that is, some being 'better' than others for whatever reason) has been hardwired into our brains.

I'm currently sat in The Lemon Tree Cafe, which I've been meaning to check out for quite some time. I'm now waiting on vegetable soup and a jacket spud with beans, cheese and salad.

It's a nice little café! Cheery yellow decor accented with quirky diamond mirrors framed in sky blue, along with your typical blackboard menus on the wall - all very English.

Jason estimates that he'll be back at half five today, which means there's absolutely no point in going home then coming back to meet him. I might as well go straight from work to St Helens Central to meet him.

I can't wait to see him, though - it's only been a week and it's been too long! We'll be getting a KFC bucket to share around my family when we get back, and he's sleeping at mine. As I write, he's on the train from Exeter to Birmingham.

Ah, my soup's here! I'll write later!
