“It’s astounding, time is fleeting,
Madness takes its toll”

Howdy partners, Good week? I hope so. It’s been another frantic week. Still, everyone’s alive and we’re all in good nick. I had a little windfall the other day. A vendor (no names) sent me some vouchers after I’d completed a couple of their on-line questionnaires. A couple of quids worth of vouchers to spend on the high street can’t be bad. Something for Mrs Jones and something for me. Good stuff. Apologies to those of you who like their Jones Diary in small chunks because I’m back to the Friday night braindump. Sheesh. Time: family, work and hobbies. Discuss. 🙂 A moment of clarity? The other day I was out of town – again on business (shucks) – and […]

“You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life”

Hey Cool Cats, How’s tricks? Blimey what a storming night the party was the other night! Given that we had so many birthdays this month, the group decided on having a bit of a do (as they say locally). The theme was Blitz & Glitz – so cue 40s swing tunes and a bit of Glenn Miller. I’d thought about getting a 40s outfit together but really I didn’t have anything that was that suitable. In the end, I opted for my old (90s) red party dress, the trusted black lacy cardy (looks better than it sounds) and my dancing shoes. Sandi & co had provided a very cool looking birthday cake – complete with pink heels. That cake, not Sandi that is. That […]

“But you’re knock knock knocking again, boy”

Hiya, How’s you? Good I hope. Me? Oh, I’m good…. Glad it’s the weekend that’s for sure. This week has gone by in a flash. I’m pretty sure I can remember Monday and after that it’s a blur of events. So, what’s been going off? To start with, I got a year older… at least physically. That was nice. 🙂 Jelly, ice-cream and a sing-song around a cake. All good stuff. Cards, family time and some lovely presents. My t-powers [/irony] seem to be building back up, so I did what most trans folk do: I went shopping. I managed to find two new pairs of fabby new heels – although I’ve yet to give them a road test (Ed: […]

“Movements come and movements go”

The summer sun slips into an early bed, the chill autumn evening replacing it. With the darkness, desires and thoughts creep into the minds of men. Thoughts and wants alien to their brothers. They begin to need. To want. Stealing themselves they find the cupboard and pull back the door. The items of their obsession peak out, tantalising; promising of times away from the normal world. Welcome, to the unreal world of the transvestite. No-one can be told what it is to be trans, they must experience it for themselves. 🙂 [ Lyric from Rage Against the Machine’s Wake Up.]

“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 […]
