Summer greetings! Is there such a thing as summer greetings? Well, there’s Seasonal Greetings for Christmas, so why not something for Summer eh? 🙂 Phew! It’s really warming up isn’t it. I hope it stays nice for the weekend. It would be nice to head out for a bit of park life and let the kids enjoy themselves. Anywho… Last week Rachel’s comments on the theory that cross-dressing (or being transgendered if you prefer) may not be nurture, but something we are born into. Certain it explains a few home truths! I would also wager it shows its better to feel it rather than fight it (to mangle some words from Primal Scream). To my trans* intuition (!!) this feels right […]

Hiya, I’m going to do something bad. I’m going to break one of the unwritten rules of the Man Code. Mind you, I’m only a member by default and my heart was never really in it. I like shopping rather than sport and my map reading skills are terrible. Still, I can open a jar of pickles and re-wire a plug, so I’m not ready to switch over just yet 🙂 Where were we?

Whereas as a adult time seems to be the opposite: it zips by and there doesn’t seem to be enough of it. Even with that extra 25th hour, I think they’d be stuff that just didn’t get done. But then, how much of what we do is important in the big picture? There was a good turnout at Chams the other night – quite a […]

Hey ppl, Time for a bit of navel gazing this time around. Not so much the “what’s wrong with us?” vibe, I – like so many others – seem to have cleared that hurdle for a bit. Will it come round again because most tracks are circular, who can say? Possibly, but let’s enjoy the moment eh? 🙂 Anywho, I was walking to an appointment the other day, enjoying the sights of the city: people watching, fashion spotting and taking in views of buildings (what’s new, what’s changed, what hasn’t). It struck me how much I don’t take in when I take the car. Clearly, your eyes are on the road – or the side mirrors – so there’s obviously […]
