Creatures of the not too late at night

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good – and if not, fingers crossed that they soon are. Today’s post will, I think, mostly be Wot We Did At Chams 🙂 For privacy reasons, I won’t be sharing any snaps of folk at the Halloween ‘Do. I will, however, say that the costumes where absolutely on point. Fabulously gothic, glam – and in one case – very sinister! Okay, sinister in an awesome British camp way! 🎃 Blogiversary Cashier number twenty one, please…. 😁 Many a moon ago on the 22nd October in 2005 I pushed my first post on YATGB – The First Post Isn’t the Deepest. Clearly I loved a musical pun as much then, as I do now. Hmm, that […]

Not for some time

Hi, A couple of bits of PosiBlog style news this week. How good to be able to report that as an opener! 🙂 Getting out? With me starting a new job at the start of this year and being Dog Sitter for the Ever Lovely Mrs J & Youngest during their minibreaks, I’ve not used as much of my holiday as I would. I guess throw in that I’m a four days a week, so what I lose in monies, I absolutely gain in time, freedom, and less stress. Today, for example I’ll catch up on things that need to be done around the house, and this means the weekend is free for walks and relaxation. While I am sort […]

Stepping stones

Hi, How’s things with you? Hopefully good! Flown the nest Last weekend Child 2.0 and I made our way up the country to help settle him in to his chosen university. The Ever Lovely Mrs J stayed home to keep an eye on the hounds, and because – bless her – she’d come down with a seasonal lurgi. Cue much unpacking, avoiding crowds, and then a wander around the campus to find the important spots. No, not the bar; the library, shop, and next week’s lecture halls. I’m so proud of our boy for facing his social anxiety and taking himself far away from his comfort zone. We’ve kept in touch via messaging (thank you Signal – secure, open source, […]

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 […]

Little things

Hi, Today I had the pleasure of some self-care and a morning without anywhere to rush to. Yay for a nonworking day and a stroll through the park to my beauty appointment. Local stuff Well, no rush other than through the traffic, as Nottinghamshire seems to have all of its road upgrades at once 🙂 Not a complaint, given that traditionally, the East Midlands receives less funding on infrastructure and healthcare. However, the city has removed most of the old Broadmarsh shopping centre, and there’s a gorgeous urban park in there now. Work will start soon to remove the remaining concrete structure, and indeed the old multistorey that looms large over Maid Marion Way. The latter was our go to […]

The time between

Hi, I was going to start off by making a wisecrack about being a genderfluid person who’s been struck in one gender for too long. However, it feels a bit meh, given there are many folk who get significantly less freedom than I do. So – and despite me showing said quip, I think it’s better to count my blessings and enjoy what I have. For a start, this week’s been pretty good and the cooler – but still summery – weather has been very pleasant. Child 2.0 continues to sort out the red tape around higher education, and he’s enjoying a very laid back long break. He’s certainly earned it, after all the exams and coursework. Friday Give or […]
