Hi, Summer has seemingly kicked in for the fair vale of Nottinghamshire. Hmm, I seem to be mixing dated urban yoof-speak with some hey-nonny-nonny. Y’know, I do hope the latter isn’t some weird kink slang. Oh the humanity! 🙂 Unavailable fashion choices As her or him A few weeks ago I bought a nice summer dress from the Joe Brown’s sale. The fit and material are fine. My issue, as per, is to disguise the two hairy tree trunks that I pass off as my legs. Jeggings don’t quite work, and the footless white tights I bought (Hello! the 80s called and wanted their fashion back) just about work. But, what I’d really like is some just about ankle length white […]

Something old. Something new.

Hi, After some deliberation I decided to have another crack at ordering a new corset. Much as hot weather and shapewear go together like the British and not queuing, sometimes, it’s the only way. Well, other than watching my diet and following a regular exercise plan, but like that’s going to happen! 🙂 So, after last time’s debacle of a corset that fit like a sleeping bag, I ignored the vendor instructions and followed my heart. If of have said followed my gut, wouldn’t that have sounded more macho? Yeah, maybe, but we’re still taking about lingerie, so I’m now confused 🙂 I collected the item from the local Post Office and it dawned on me how easy Internet shopping […]

Hi, With the summer hols in full swing, it’s been a doddle to zip down the ring road and into work. No more school run for me for a few weeks and plenty of people away on holiday too. As such, I’m ahead on my hours and an early start, means an early finish in my book. All good reasons for a good mood. Oh, and it’s Friday. Woo! And it was Chams last night, Woo hoo! 🙂 Talking of good things, Sandi and I have been on the look out for a way to help boost the group’s funding. Luckily we didn’t go ahead with our currency speculation or pole dancing club. Much as the latter would have been […]

The right to bare arms

Uncategorized

Hi, The Jones Crew are on holiday, as it’s the last week of the Easter break. A quiet cottage somewhere in North Yorkshire, as way of a change. Through bad planning on my part, I’m away the week Chams is on, but there will be other meetings. Or, at least, so I tell myself. I try to ignore the ticking of the proverbial clock. Distraction techniques may be required. The weather is on the turn, being spring, and as opaques are banished, and shops rev up to sell us variants on previous trends, so to do sleeves shorten for men and women. To this end, I’ve stopped shaving my arms. I’m lucky in that, compared to some gents, and even some […]

A series of conflicting events

Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things? It’s been the first week back at school for Wee Man and Little Miss. They took it pretty well and despite a little bit of grumbling from one of them, I think they both enjoyed catching up with their friends. As is the case with a new year, they both get a new teacher. Wee Man is now in the last class before he goes to secondary. Little Miss, is in her second year and I remember her teacher being a big hit with her brother. Said teacher, he’s…. what’s the best way to say this? He’s got that knack in getting kids really involved and keen to learn. Dare I say, it’s a joy to watch […]

“Words like violence,
Break the silence,
Come crashing in,
Into my little world”

Hello again dear reader, To blog, or not to blog? That is the question. Whether tis best to STFU, or to prattle on, ensnaring the zeroes and ones of Google’s storage….. Shall we go with blog then? Larks, it doesn’t seem long since I was last here, bashing away at the keys, hoping that some semblance of wit and order would descend. So, I have, as you may have gathered from the last post and MS Paint epic, been away. Not, ‘been away’ as in Her Majesty’s Pleasure (Ed: for our American readers – in jail!), nor locking away in the funny farm either. Although, Lord knows that can’t be far away. 🙂 No, holiday it was and a family […]
