“Yep, I’d rather be called deadly, for my killer show-tune medley (Thank you!)

Hello dear reader, How are things on Planet You? Matters at Jones Towers are a little chilly; not from the emotional view, but the physical. The Jones Mansion is undergoing renovation work – an extension to the Polo Lounge (!!) – so we’re without windows in certain parts of the house. Just the gentle breeze and occasional clap of canvas. Still, with luck, the builders will be back in to fit the necessary parts Saturday morning. I’m willing to forgo a Saturday lie-in for the sake of being able to feel my toes when I’m in the back of the house. 😉 Earlier in the week it was the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones’s birthday and armed with a shopping list, […]

“Just switch off your television set and go out and do something less boring instead?”

Hi folks, Larks, how to start this one? There we go, just type the first thing that comes into my head and off we go eh? That normally does it and I wouldn’t want to spoil you by actually writing something witty and clever now would I… although it would be nice. 😉 I’m a bit torn (Ed: no, not like that) over today’s post. On one hand, I sort of want to talk about the week being a bit pants (topped off nicely by a failed attempt at Invasion), but I’m conscious that to dwell on the negative isn’t particular good for my mood, nor does it make for interesting read. So, if I’m not going to complain about […]

“I’m the kinda girl that likes to dream a lot, dream a lot,
Lose myself, staring into my coffee cup, coffee cup.”

Hi, I’m a little all over the place as I write this. Not in a bad way, more from a completely disorganised perspective. 🙂 This week has gone quickly. I seemed to have blinked and now it’s Friday night. Still, better that than Monday morning. Hmm, vibes of an old Dire Straights lyric in my head now. Odd, considering I’m listening to Leaving Hope by Nine Inch Nails which is delightfully mellow. But enough of the stream of consciousness, I did have a few things to say. History, Art and Trans Folk I have a thing about history and the passing of time. I guess it comes down to looking at what has gone before and how what is considered cutting edge […]

“I graduated from the Universty of Life

Hi, September already huh? How time flies. I’ve picked the last of the blackberries in the garden and the apple trees are looking good. I must resist the urge to make a giant pie, though. That would undo all the good work with the diet. (Ed: Don’t think of yummy, yummy chocolate!) The latter – the diet that is, not the choccy – is going okay and the additional walking means I’m feeling a lot fitter too. I’ve lost a few pounds, but mainly I seem to have toned up in certain areas. Still, better that than no progress at all. I also decided on a spot of shopping as I’d seen a couple of nice dresses on Dorothy Perkins’ […]

“We’re pretty, a-pretty vacant…
And we don’t care”

Uncategorized

Howdy all, I think it was around Tuesday, possibly mid to late afternoon, that I found myself thinking about wanting to feel pretty again. To our non-trans reader(s), that may sound a bit odd, but then I’ve never found the whole trans thing to make any particular sense. 😉 So after a good six weeks or so, the Trans Force returned. Not with a bang, but the gentle nudge of be nice to stretch those legs and make an effort, no? Despite being unable to shift the holiday induced spare tire, or so it felt, I packed a bag – with just the one outfit mind (Ed: another first?) – and headed off to Chameleons. Despite a little issue in […]

“And every kid on the whole damn street,
Was gonna make it big and not be beat.”

Hiya, There are days when ideas for a post, or perhaps even just something to talk about, come thick and fast. The thing is though, it’s not so much the raw generation of ideas…. well, actually, that’s not 100% true and I dare say that if you’re like me, you look out of the window, sigh to yourself and wonder how you’re going to fill the white space of the input form. Okay, moving on from that, if I do have something to discuss, it’s how to start it. Sometimes I get hung up on just saying hello, whereas other times – like now – a stream of consciousness bursts forward to fill the t’interwebs with fluff live and direct […]
