“Praise you…”

Hi peeps, This is my third attempt at a blog tonight. The previous two attempts I found that I had run dry of things to talk about. I could blame it on work, but that wouldn’t be 100% true. Some days, you don’t have anything you want to get off your chest. I guess I’m just having a trans duvet day. I thought I’d catch up with what other folk have been up to. I headed into Chrissy’s blog (which is always good for a read) and I was…. [sighs] here words begin to fail me. I appreciate that that’s a bit melodramatic, but stay with me. I tell you what, why don’t you go and read what happened and […]

“I hear the roar of a big machine,
Two worlds and in between.”

Hi, Blimey, where did the week go? I’m pretty sure I remember Monday coming around quite quickly and then everything else is a bit of a blur. Sorry today’s post is a bit of a long one. Like last month’s rain, the words just kept on coming. Talking of the weather, the summer seems to have finally arrived in the UK. This is a rather nice change from the water and floods of yestermonth. Mind you, we got off quite lightly round here compared to certain areas of the country. I was talking to a chap down in Gloucester the other day and he was still waiting for the water to be declared safe. I nipped out to visit Chams […]

“In this invisible world I choose to live in…”

Howdy folks, How’s it going? I hope you’re enjoying the summer weather. It’s actually not raining. Yippee! It’s been an interesting week – ummm – this week. On one hand it’s been foot to the floor 0 to 80 progress at the work, yet on the other hand, not a lot has happened! Still, perhaps I should be glad for the quiet times. Quiet can be good, it means there’s no heartbreak or drama going on. Instead, you just get to sit back and bask in life. Best enjoy it while I can! It’s the little things isn’t it. Little things like the most fantastic eyeliner I saw today on a young lady in the grocers. It was very cool. […]

“Dark clouds drift away to reveal
The sunshine”

Hi peeps, How’s you? All well I trust. The dark cloud that I’ve been under (occasionally) has drifted away – given the weather we’ve been having, it’s probably been drowned. 🙂 The other day I decided to try and stick to the advice from the 20th century’s greatest philosophers: “Always look on the bright side of life.” So, normality and unselfish behaviour be damned, I went out to Chams. And you know what? It did me the power of good. It wasn’t just the dressing up – although I’d be lying if that wasn’t a part of it. No, it’s the sense of belonging that going along to meet friends gives you. It’s trite but I’ll say it again, it […]

“I said never again but here we are”

Hey hey true believers, Unusually for me I missed my personal deadline of a Friday night post. It’s silly really, but I like to empty my head of the chaff that’s been floating around during the week ready for the weekend. Anyway, that wasn’t going to happen (yesterday) because I just didn’t get my sh** together. My mood has been up and down these last few weeks. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the weather certainly isn’t helping. Normally there are lots of things you can do – family wise that is – in the pleasant Summer months before the season turns and it’s brollies and wellies for most outside activities. Anyhoo, today I’d had enough and […]

“Tell me the truth…”

Following comments from Rachel and Chrissy (thanks girls), I got to thinking (as one does). I don’t know about the rest of the blogging gang, but I come here to write and let off steam or to talk about things I cannot talk about with others. Like the rest of you I do have a life (no, really) outside of the wardrobe mirror, but I always hold back on what I post. You see I have this fear that one day someone reading this will put 2 and 2 together and go ‘Holy gender divergence Batman, that’s [blah] from work/pub/school’. I know there is a risk in posting here, anyone who really knows me will see links between my trans-life […]
