Pack up your troubles

Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things with you? Hopefully all good. After last week’s drift into and back out of the past, I guess we’re back again to the present. Blogging, IMHO, is somewhat of an odd thing. It’s got that kinda weird public/private thing going on. There are things on here that I write about that I don’t talk to many of my friends about. Well, certainly not workmates or friends who aren’t trans. Take for example Tuesday evening; the kids have broken up, the Jones Massive have had tea, and everyone is doing their own thing. I decided to pack a bag for Chams, hoping that taking a little more time would mean that I wasn’t in quite a rush Wednesday, […]

Future Retro

Uncategorized

Hi, Back in ’05 Calie, over at T-Central, has been running a retro week, and these have been posts pulled from some of the featured blogs. Anyhoo, Calie was kind enough to ask if I was okay with having a post from 2005 being featured. Wow, 2005: how much has changed since then? That’s before the whole smartphone/tablet arrival, while we still had a Labour government, and before Little Miss was born. Quite a different time!

The question will be in bold and my original answer will be in italics. If you fancy a […]

Yet, as the night out drew closer, temperatures dropped, and as I was working at home, I packed a bag during my lunchtime. There may also have been an opportunity to paint my toes, but there’s no gap in the company timesheet for that. Shame really, as it does wonders for my mood 🙂 Perhaps as I had no expectations of Chams, that it explains why I had such a good time. I’d made fair time through the traffic. Just in time to help Pat and M & Co set […]

Hi, A couple of weeks ago, I popped round to see my folks. They’d been away and while on holiday, it had been my mum’s birthday. Now, with the kids being older and all of us being busy at the weekend, I went round on my own. Hello dutiful son points. 😉 There was the usual chit-chat, cake, and tea business. This is Britain after all. 🙂 An hour in and my sister and boyfriend – neither of who I’d seen in a while – turned up to much delight. It’s fine; I live away and I’m used to being in the background 🙂 As she and my mum started talking about who’d said what to who, and how certain […]
