“I’m a professional cynic but my heart’s not in it”

Hi peeps, Another week rolls by eh? No blog post from last week as I was away on a jolly (and very nice it was too!). I’ve got a fair big of blogging to catch up on (other peoples, not mine) and I wonder what you good folk have been up to. Despite the warm weather, the nights are now drawing in and that, of course, can only mean one thing. Okay, more than one thing, a) it’ll be colder, b) they’ll be more lights on and c) trans season will soon be upon us. It also means that Autumn fruits (no, the other sort) will be ready now. Apples, blackberries, etc. Yum!! This month’s glossies are showing off the […]

“She’s got herself a universe gone quickly”

Hi peeps, It’s been warp factor 5 this week. I think we all have times like these. Times where the clock seems to tick away and you’re always behind, dashing to complete a task and then zooming off to be somewhere else. I’m just glad it’s a long weekend…. and fingers crossed for some good weather eh? 🙂 I’ve been tagged by Emma over this 8 questions thingy. So, on with the facts: Shall we start with the numbers? I’m 34 (Carter USM territory ) I’m a parent. For a long time I thought I wouldn’t be, but it’s great. Difficult, yes, sometimes, but fun. I’m a Virgo…. which makes my head rule my heart. Obviously not quite enough to […]

“Praise you…”

Hi peeps, This is my third attempt at a blog tonight. The previous two attempts I found that I had run dry of things to talk about. I could blame it on work, but that wouldn’t be 100% true. Some days, you don’t have anything you want to get off your chest. I guess I’m just having a trans duvet day. I thought I’d catch up with what other folk have been up to. I headed into Chrissy’s blog (which is always good for a read) and I was…. [sighs] here words begin to fail me. I appreciate that that’s a bit melodramatic, but stay with me. I tell you what, why don’t you go and read what happened and […]

“I hear the roar of a big machine,
Two worlds and in between.”

Hi, Blimey, where did the week go? I’m pretty sure I remember Monday coming around quite quickly and then everything else is a bit of a blur. Sorry today’s post is a bit of a long one. Like last month’s rain, the words just kept on coming. Talking of the weather, the summer seems to have finally arrived in the UK. This is a rather nice change from the water and floods of yestermonth. Mind you, we got off quite lightly round here compared to certain areas of the country. I was talking to a chap down in Gloucester the other day and he was still waiting for the water to be declared safe. I nipped out to visit Chams […]

“In this invisible world I choose to live in…”

Howdy folks, How’s it going? I hope you’re enjoying the summer weather. It’s actually not raining. Yippee! It’s been an interesting week – ummm – this week. On one hand it’s been foot to the floor 0 to 80 progress at the work, yet on the other hand, not a lot has happened! Still, perhaps I should be glad for the quiet times. Quiet can be good, it means there’s no heartbreak or drama going on. Instead, you just get to sit back and bask in life. Best enjoy it while I can! It’s the little things isn’t it. Little things like the most fantastic eyeliner I saw today on a young lady in the grocers. It was very cool. […]

“Dark clouds drift away to reveal
The sunshine”

Hi peeps, How’s you? All well I trust. The dark cloud that I’ve been under (occasionally) has drifted away – given the weather we’ve been having, it’s probably been drowned. 🙂 The other day I decided to try and stick to the advice from the 20th century’s greatest philosophers: “Always look on the bright side of life.” So, normality and unselfish behaviour be damned, I went out to Chams. And you know what? It did me the power of good. It wasn’t just the dressing up – although I’d be lying if that wasn’t a part of it. No, it’s the sense of belonging that going along to meet friends gives you. It’s trite but I’ll say it again, it […]
