Teamwork

Uncategorized

Hi, Not a holiday, but certainly a long weekend away from the red tape machines. A glorious five days off for the Jones Massive. Okay, four for the kids and an extra day for the Ever Lovely Mrs J and I. Sure, the pay ain’t always great in the public sector, but the holidays make up for it. Clothes A shorter week meant Thursday was soon upon me. I still find it a challenge to work out what I’m going to wear. It’s not that I’ve nothing to wear, as I’ve got a fair few items that have built up over the years. Originally, I used to buy things I like in the moment, as it were, but now, I […]

The Cat Paradox

Uncategorized

Hello dear reader, Today has been a gift. If you will, a bright gem within the regular mud of routine. To start off, I met with Andrea, one of the Chams Massive, who doesn’t work too far from me. We met up, had a tea and a chat, then a stroll around the grounds, talking about this, that and the other. Mostly gender / trans stuff, in between trying to help with a lost dog.

Even back in the 80s, I preferred tape or CDs. Records, well, despite the large album sleeves, which would, on occasion, have brilliant artwork on them, were not for me. Not portable enough and seemingly, too fragile to make the swap between friends. Tapes on the other hand, you could make your own mix and swap tracks […]

Downtime

Hi, It’s a late post tonight, due to some technical issues. Funny how your world adjusts to depend on technology eh? Whatever the underlying problem is, I’m hoping it’s cleared before the kids get up tomorrow. 🙂 Trans wise, this is a quiet week for me, as it’s a gap between the last Chams meeting, and the one next time. The Ever Lovely Mrs J ordered some very nice 50s style dresses last week. They’re for her to wear at the evening meal, during the conference next month. I really like that style, and it really suits Mrs J too. And yes, I did say. For me, it seems best with a bare leg, if you get my drift, which […]
