“You known I can’t believe it,
when I hear that you won’t see me.”

Hi, This time around it’s a quiet week and as I’ve said before, quiet isn’t necessarily bad. Sure, I don’t mind watching a bit of drama second hand – so books or film – but experiencing it first hand isn’t always quite so welcome. 🙂 Midweek Mid week I booked an afternoon off to do a spot of shopping. Not the trans stuff, but the more mundane things such as new bloke clothes. My trainers have reached optimum comfort, which in real terms, means they are in danger of dropping to pieces when I least expect them too. I also kept my eye out for some Xmas gifts and when you spot something that’s just right, it can pay to […]

“It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
(And I Feel Fine)”

Uncategorized

Hi everyone out there in t’interweb land,  Argh, brain freeze. 🙂 Where to start? Well, it’s been a pretty good week, all things considered. The weather’s been good, the nippers have kept out of trouble, the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones hasn’t been over-worked and apart from a slight issue with the hound, all is good. Oh, and it’ll be about a week or so, since I reduced the anti-miserabalist tablets and dare I say (Ed: Dare! Dare!) that so far so good. All in all, it’s been rather quiet and relaxing. So there’s not really a lot to report! 😉 Given that I’d not been shopping for sometime, I decided to invest in some rather nice leopard print peep-toe heels. A […]

“And you will be so happy to know,
I’ve come alone, it’s over.”

Hi, I’m a bit stumped on how to start this post. Not through any requirement to put out a massively important message, I guess it’s just breaking in the white space. Did you ever get that feeling when you got a new exercise book at school? That first sheet was somehow sacred because it was unmarked and full of what might be. Then again, I may just be being a bit of a mentalist. 😉 Anyway, let’s start with some good news shall we? As way of a change 😉 Whatever synergy it was that’s sent the old Black Dog on holiday has kept working its mojo. I’ve felt… well, just kinda normal over the last few weeks. Okay, as […]

“I was breaking out of my own skin,
Choking upon release,
I’m in no state, to judge you…”

Hi folks, Winter seems to have arrived. Frozen windscreens, leaves turning brown and a rush to get the kids into their coats before we go. All the apples have gone from the trees in our garden. Many have been boxed or given away. We had a bumper crop this year. Stuff to be thankful for eh? Then today, a bright dose of late sunshine to melt the cobwebs away. Tuesday Therapy time again. We seem to have fixed it all to the trans railroad and off we go along it. I’ve been keeping a track of my moods, just a series of dots in Notepad. Any day that’s more than a 5, I think of that as being typical; normal […]

Thunder… thunder… thunderstorms (??)

Uncategorized

Thor was well and truly in a blinder of a mood today. Real big-assed wrath-of-the-gods thunder. Impressive stuff. Oh and there was a much needed rainstorm. Welcome to the British monsoon season. Which brings me nicely – ooo, good link eh? – to shopping the other day. P. and I had gone shopping and for the first time in ages, we went into Monsoon. “That’s a nice skirt,” she says holding up this gorge pale green patterned silk number. I nod and fumble with the price ticket. ****ing hell, I think, and it’s not designer. 🙂 Funny that in some shops you can get an outfit for that price! 🙂 After much too-ing and fro-ing, we did get an outfit […]

Walking, talking and (of course) shopping

Uncategorized

Today’s been very interesting. I had the day off to go fix the car – that’s very rock and roll isn’t it? Well, if I’d driven it into a swimming pool, yes, I guess it would be. However, this time, it was merely a service.  But that did mean I had the day off 🙂 So what did I get up to? Firstly I got a fantastic new skirt from Matalan – a bargain at only 10 quid. I’m very pleased with that. I also got some earrings which – in a Blue Peter stylee – I’ve tweaked to fit to my small clip-on hoops. After that it was off home to try on my purchases and get dolled up. You can’t […]
