“Owner of a lonely heart. Much better than an owner of a broken heart.”

Howdy, How’re tricks? This time around the post is, to coin a well-loved phrase, a game of two halves. Well, not so much on the game front. That would imply some type of playing about or…. actually, I don’t know, but something less than serious. 🙂 Earlier As I write it’s Tuesday afternoon and I’ve just come back from my first counselling session. It was a positive experience and we talked about a number of issues. How do I feel right now? A little calmer than when I left. Back then, I left… well, not upset, but like I had been shaken up internally. As if there was a swirling wind within me; something pushing at the metaphorical bars trying […]

“When it comes to men like you,
I know the score, I’ve heard it all before.”

Hello again, The 1st of October rolls into view and – depending on your time zone and when you’re reading this – will mostly be over I guess. The rain is doing its best to give the hedgerows and wildlife a good soaking before the sharper winds blow in. Autumn is truly here and it makes a sharp change to the bright sunshine and good weather I enjoyed with a friend on Thursday. An email arrived from an old blog friend who happened to be in the area. We got talking – as trans folk seem to be able to do in spades – and plans were made: appointments set, brollies packed, sarnies bought and much was said. All in […]

“I’ll escape if I try hard enough,
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff.”

Hiya, This week’s post comes from the top of a proverbial hill. The view’s rather good and the weather’s holding out: neither chilly nor too hot. Through some low cloud I can see, well, mostly. Some of the sky is dark and scary, but most seems a bit misty with bolts of blue if you look long enough. If I concentrate, I can see the path ahead. Sure, it’s a bit patchy or rocky in places and there’s a few forks here and there where the way’s not so clear. But, I’m on the level – no longer slogging to get up the slope and I seem to be the dank of closely packed trees. If I stop and look, […]

“If the days they seem to fall through you,
Well, just let them go…”

Hello, How’s things with you out there in the wide, wide world of sports? All good I trust. Compared to last week’s rather large post, this one will be a bit shorter. Well, I say that, let’s see if I get a special delivery from The Muse 😉 The start of the week was not so good. No bad news or anything, but again, another drop in the old brain chemistry. Not the complete drop and inability to function level of badness, but not that pleasant either. From what I could tell, there was nothing bothering me per say, I guess it was just one of those things. Still, you ride it out: keep busy, do things with the kids, […]

“If it’s not like the movies,
That’s how it should be…”

Hi, A week of highs and lows this time around. Funny, I suppose after my oh-so quiet post of last time. Maybe a case of be careful of what you wish for? 🙂 Tuesday, well, that was a bit of a black day if I’m honest. But don’t worry, it did improve! It wasn’t that anything went wrong or that anyone was hurt, that particular day. Instead, I guess I just slipped a little in the wrong direction. Maybe the chemical thrusters failed and I drifted towards the black hole far closer than I’d liked. I’m not talking about feeling a bit down, moreover the flat out lay on the bed – or in my case – sit in the […]

“No alarms and no surprises please.”

Hiya, Today’s post will be a little bit all over the place. Sorry about that. 🙂 I don’t have any topic for discussion, no news to break and really…. I don’t feel I have much to say. I would like to stress that this isn’t a ‘poor me’ post, more a I-haven’t-planned-anything post 😉 Things are fine here, I guess I’m just tired, but I’m looking forward to the weekend (a big family visit). What’s been going on? Well, truth be told: not a lot. Certainly nothing particular transtastic or earth-shattering insights into the trans mindset. Ho hum 🙂 Earlier in the week (to use a popular phrase of mine) I was at home working. This was a way of saving […]
