All about the ‘bers

Hi, Ah, how my mood and spirits lift as the season shifts. The warm orange hue of the trees, cooler mornings, and a slight chill to the morning. How I have missed your September, October, etc. All the ‘bers 🥰 Better The DeWookification continues to deliver in terms of body acceptance and dispelling the Dysphoria Goblin. Likewise the careful application of some nail protector means my paws – until after Chams – remain slightly polished, rather than their usual dullness. As much as this is ‘yet another transgender blog’ 🙂 it’s true that there are others things in life – or perhaps more accurately, my life – that bring joy: not having to rush to be somewhere; a stroll through […]

The Tide

Hi, Ah, what to write about today eh, dear reader? Well, it’s not going to be the news because I’m still not reading it. 😐 Apparently there’s been some sports thing involving lots of running about and a ball. I know that doesn’t narrow things down because a lot of sport seems to do with one or both of those requirements. Okay, except archery or shooting, but I find it wise not to rib folk who can assassinate you at a distance. 😉 Umm, not that anyone who excels at such a sport would do such a thing. They’re very lovely people! 😁 Okay, so flippancy aside… Oh, and I was going to call this ratcheting, but apparently that – […]

Inspired

Hi, Ah the warmth of the turning to spring, a day off, and a proverbial pocketful of, uhh, positives. What’s not to like? 🙂 Lights in dark woods I could’ve said ‘literary inspo’, but I are an Old, and not down with ‘da kidz’. Do you still put ‘yo’ on the end of that to maintain your props or cred? Sorry, I mean ‘rizz’. 🙃 Okay, enough with the unhip dadness vibes. I’m GenX, so I don’t give a ***k 😁 [ breath…. and focus ] I do not read as much as I used to. Like most of my hobbies, they lean towards the geeky and nerdtastic, because that’s exactly the sort of things I like. Left of the […]

Ignoring the stream of negativity

Hi, After last week’s micro-wobble, a visit to Chams to see friends and some time out of ‘bloke mode’ has done me a world of good. Funny that such a simple thing – well, I say simple! – helps me settle and become comfortable again. I suppose that “birds of a feather” phrase, in that it’s people who get it, and who understand. No need to keep the proverbial mask on, and conversations flows naturally, with no second guessing. Maybe a shorter phrase would be authenticity 🙂 But, this all this helps. Reasons indeed to be thankful. Self Care At the start of the week, I tried a bit of self-care to help push the cobwebs away, and let in […]

Colour me happy

Hi, Ah, hello Long Weekend! Well, for we part-timing part-timers, every weekend is a long one. It may sting in the wallet, but it feels good in the soul 🙏 Ah, there’s a nice dose of Posiblogging! 🥰 Today’s post will be very much What Happened At Chams. I mean, we could talk about a lying liar who lies, and why a certain result didn’t matter to them. But who wants to hear about liars? Well, except when they’re caught out 😉 Let’s move on! Cue big queues I was a little later setting off that usual on Thursday night. Not by any great amount, but – like the school run and the rush hour – the wrong fifteen minutes […]

Seasonal

Hi, Well, that’s the first week of work in the bag. I’ll not go into the full details, however I will say two things. Firstly, I think the induction into the team was the best I’ve ever had. That and the organisation – or at least the core team I’m working with – has more women than men. Again, a good thing for someone like me, given I’m certainly not a macho type. Plus I’m working from home, so ‘office attire’ can be mixed and matched – provided the top half passes as masc 😉 Chams We had a spike of ‘guests visiting the forum’ over at Chams HQ. Not that any bots can see much; it’s all locked away […]
