“In the satisfaction stakes,
It’s like sitting on the number nine bus”

Uncategorized

Hi, So, last week on sick leave before I go back to work. It’s been different being off it physically, but with it mentally. What I mean is, when you’re ill, like with flu or a bad stomach, your brain is a little all over the place while your body attempts to get over the situation. This time around, despite an amount of ‘ow’, I am fairly with it, so it’s been good in that I’ve been able to catch up on reading and enjoy life in the slow lane. Taking the dog out for a few long walks – well, at least when it wasn’t chucking it down – and it’s been good being home when the kids come back […]

“Wow! (Shout out loud),
At the gay bar”

Hiya, As I type it is unseasonably warm. Talk about a late summer! I’ve blogged about my enjoyment of the autumn months once before and much as the clear blue skies are nice, it is too hot for me. By the time it cools down, it’s pitch black. Still, the weather is at least calm, so no puddles to splash through or wind to blow your syrup in umpteen directions. Last time around, I mentioned the possiblity of a night out. It has been ages since I’ve been out and about, so I was really looking forward to it. Luckily for little old me (Ed: yes, the diet is still working), the Fates smiled and all went well. After dropping […]

I know the score, I’ve heard it all before.”

Hello again, The 1st of October rolls into view and – depending on your time zone and when you’re reading this – will mostly be over I guess. The rain is doing its best to give the hedgerows and wildlife a good soaking before the sharper winds blow in. Autumn is truly here and it makes a sharp change to the bright sunshine and good weather I enjoyed with a friend on Thursday. An email arrived from an old blog friend who happened to be in the area. We got talking – as trans folk seem to be able to do in spades – and plans were made: appointments set, brollies packed, sarnies bought and much was said. All in […]

“If the days they seem to fall through you,
Well, just let them go…”

Hello, How’s things with you out there in the wide, wide world of sports? All good I trust. Compared to last week’s rather large post, this one will be a bit shorter. Well, I say that, let’s see if I get a special delivery from The Muse 😉 The start of the week was not so good. No bad news or anything, but again, another drop in the old brain chemistry. Not the complete drop and inability to function level of badness, but not that pleasant either. From what I could tell, there was nothing bothering me per say, I guess it was just one of those things. Still, you ride it out: keep busy, do things with the kids, […]

“No alarms and no surprises please.”

Hiya, Today’s post will be a little bit all over the place. Sorry about that. 🙂 I don’t have any topic for discussion, no news to break and really…. I don’t feel I have much to say. I would like to stress that this isn’t a ‘poor me’ post, more a I-haven’t-planned-anything post 😉 Things are fine here, I guess I’m just tired, but I’m looking forward to the weekend (a big family visit). What’s been going on? Well, truth be told: not a lot. Certainly nothing particular transtastic or earth-shattering insights into the trans mindset. Ho hum 🙂 Earlier in the week (to use a popular phrase of mine) I was at home working. This was a way of saving […]

“In Number 69 there lives a transvestite,
He’s a man by day, but he’s a woman at night.”

Hi, The week gone has been a bit unusual. For a start, the house has been only half full as both the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones (Ed: TELMJ?) and Wee Man haven’t been in. The latter was visiting his cousins and, as I write, still is, while *ahem* TELMJ is making her way back from a week long course somewhere down south. That’s left me holding the toddler, so to speak. That’s been nice, lots of father/daughter time: plenty of cuddles, a few books, an occasional snack and the odd tantrum. Her, not me, as way of a change 🙂 I think we are coming out of the Terrible Twos, so Little Miss’s language has really come on. I’ve really missed Mrs […]
