“I got a reason for the devil inside you know”

Hi, How’s things with you? After last week’s not-much-is-going-on post, events have picked up a little. Home-life and family is going well, which is not to be underrated. Parents Evening will be upon us soon and if I can get an early pass from work, I’d like to pop along and see Wee Man’s work on show. Trans-wise, I saw some very nice shoe boots while out shopping with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones. At twenty quid, I couldn’t really say no, so armed with the takings from my piggy bank, off I went. Luckily, said shop – or rather supermarket – had clothes for him & her as well as changing rooms. So it was a repeat of the […]

“Life in a Northern town…”

Hello again dear reader, I hope all is well with you and yours. Time for another post in the old blog! The week’s been a little busier than usual, mainly due to the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones being away for a while. So, yeah, I was house husband for a bit. While it was a little difficult in places – clearly I’m not quite as with it as my ego would suggest – it was very rewarding. I mean the main thing is the chance to spend a decent amount of time with the kids. There was a fair bit of dog walking, some baking, a bit of Plasticine monster mash (don’t ask) and we were sorted. Anyways, the ELMJ […]

“Summertime, And the livin’ is easy”

Hey all, Hmmm…. Where to start with this one? Well…. I guess it’s a bit tricky to write about trans stuff when … umm… you’re not actually doing any crossdressing 🙂 So it goes! This coming Thursday is Chameleons and I think I will try to make the effort to go in Lynn-mode. I’m not making any promises mind you. If goes all summery and hot, I shall forsake the glad rags for want of a bit of cooler attire. Let’s hope I can still remember how to walk in my heels. 🙂 I believe it’s Sparkle this weekend and with the ‘meh’ vibe towards all things dressing up, I can’t say I’m overly fussed. Perhaps that’s a good job […]

“Can we all slow down and enjoy right now,
Guarantee we’ll be feelin’ alright.”

Hi everyone (including Coconut-Men, Moon-heads and P.) I guess you can say I’m very much back in the saddle… and much as it’s well worn and familiar, there’s a significant reticence in wanting to do so. I think the best I can say is I was at work physically. 🙂 How was the holiday? Glad you asked. 🙂 Oh, and thanks for the well wishes BTW. Two fantastic weeks somewhere in the Med with no mobile telephones, computers or work. Just me, the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones and both nippers. Wee Man’s swimming has come on so much. It was a joy to see him swimming out into the sea (Ed: and making it back). Little Miss, well, she’s as […]

“Nice day for a… white wedding.”

Hello dear reader, Unlike last week, I have managed to remember what day I usually post on. 🙂 With all these holidays, my internal clock is a little all over the place, but it’s been so nice to have the time off. Easter, then Bank Holidays, a day off and today (of course), the big event itself. Don’t worry, I won’t go into in-depth sofa-eye-view of Kate & Wills’ wedding. The media reporting got on my wick a bit and if I’m really honest, sort of put me off a little. Still, sat on the sofa with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones, we watched the church service together. Kate’s dress was lovely and I wish them well. Talk about media […]

“Dark clouds drift away to reveal, the sunshine”

Hi, Straight off the bat, I’d like to thank those of you who were kind enough to get in touch last week offering advice or simply the question “are you okay?”. I’m a lot better than I was last week. Phew eh? 🙂 Not to make light of it, although that is very much my way of coping with sh**, is to mock it. The previous week was not a good one and as I look back it at now – with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight – the return of the Black Dog was only temporary. Of course, when you’re down in the murk, you can’t really see  a way out of it. Perhaps some type of torch would […]
