Hopeful

Uncategorized

Hi, The clocks have gone back, the night’s have drawn in and the trees are the more gorgeous shades of red and yellow. Hello, proper autumn. A time for long walks to take in the warming rays of the sun and to enjoy the light, before Winter throws a cold, dark – and frequently wet – blanket over dear Old Blighty. At least, that’s the vibe around here, out in the sticks near Jones Towers. Not that I mind. I do love a walk in the woods. Much as I like a spot of city shopping or disco dolly moments, in bloke mode, forests, for me, is where it’s at. There’s something mentally refreshing about being out in nature. The […]

Human Interest

Hi, Ah, must focus. I’ve been flitting between browser tabs, putting off just writing. Right…. deep breath, Lynn and go! 🙂 That joke twice Ring, ring, goes my office softphone. Yours Truly > Hello, Richard speaking. Mystery Caller > Hi, [insert salesman name] here. Is that Sarah? YT > No, sorry. I think you’ve got the wrong number – MC > Ah. [pause] Oh. I’ve copied the number down wrong. I thought your were Sarah, Head of Department. YT > No, I’m afraid not, but I could pretend if it helps. MC > [laughter] Only at the weekends, though, eh? You know, a friend of mine… Mystery Caller then embarks on a story about his tall female friend who ran […]

Something old. Something new.

Hi, After some deliberation I decided to have another crack at ordering a new corset. Much as hot weather and shapewear go together like the British and not queuing, sometimes, it’s the only way. Well, other than watching my diet and following a regular exercise plan, but like that’s going to happen! 🙂 So, after last time’s debacle of a corset that fit like a sleeping bag, I ignored the vendor instructions and followed my heart. If of have said followed my gut, wouldn’t that have sounded more macho? Yeah, maybe, but we’re still taking about lingerie, so I’m now confused 🙂 I collected the item from the local Post Office and it dawned on me how easy Internet shopping […]

Hi, With the summer hols in full swing, it’s been a doddle to zip down the ring road and into work. No more school run for me for a few weeks and plenty of people away on holiday too. As such, I’m ahead on my hours and an early start, means an early finish in my book. All good reasons for a good mood. Oh, and it’s Friday. Woo! And it was Chams last night, Woo hoo! 🙂 Talking of good things, Sandi and I have been on the look out for a way to help boost the group’s funding. Luckily we didn’t go ahead with our currency speculation or pole dancing club. Much as the latter would have been […]

A series of lessons

Uncategorized

Hi, After last week’s post in which I reset and started over, you’d think that I’d start to keep a note of ideas. An idea came to me as I was listening to the radio and driving to work. Ah, I must put that on a slip of paper, I thought to myself… and then promptly forgot. Gah! I guess this is what separates the triers from the capable, eh? Still, lessons learned! Note to self: make a note quickly. 🙂 The long drought of all Jack and no Jill – I so hope that’s not slang for something kinky – has been broken, as it was Chameleons in what was starting to feel like an age. So it goes […]

Trousers: it’s all in the cut

Uncategorized

Hi, It’s been a long two weeks since the last Chameleons. A *ahem* mere 21 days between meetings, but who’s counting? 🙂 In days go by, I think I would have been thinking about climbing the walls. As time has gone on (Ed: nearly as much as you have, dear), some times, the gaps don’t seem as bad. Maybe it’s the weather, or the gentle acceptance that I’ll be fab again soon enough, I don’t seem to get into the funk that I once did. Reasons to be cheerful eh? 🙂 Talking of looking back, I was at work the other day when a colleague passed me, wearing some rather fancy, tailored trousers. There was that brief moue from the […]
