Festive Jollification 

Uncategorized

Hi, With it being a Friday, I should be running the vacuum around and tidying the kitchen. However, should can do one 😉 Sometimes it’s nice to put chores off for a bit and do something else. Besides, there’s a reputation to maintain of posting each Friday. A dose of gratitude That heading could probably cover the rest of this post, if I think about a bit more. There’s been a handful of good things this week, and I think you need to count your blessings* (even nonsecular ones 🙂). The days may be darker and the weather gloomy, but fab stuff happens at this time of year. Yikes, am I finding a bit of Christmas spirit? No, not the […]

Christmas Ghosts

Uncategorized

Hi, Not quite the last post of the year, but certainly the one before Christmas. I guess now would be a good time to wish you the best over the festive period and hope it all goes well – regardless of how you like to spend the time or however you like to celebrate things. Just, take it steady, know that it’s just one day, and it doesn’t need to be perfect. Good luck out there 😉 As to Christmas presents, if you’re lucky enough to have someone in your life who undertands your trans nature and buys with that in mind, good for you, enjoy. For those of you who don’t or who’s family don’t gift with the true […]

Counting down to Christmas

Uncategorized

Hi, Hear that? That’s the ticking of the clock counting down to my last working day before the Xmas holidays. It feels quite the luxury to have a long Christmas break, and that’s down to building up unused leave during the year. Perhaps my New Year’s Resolution will be to keep an eye on using my leave and have more regular breaks. Still, a long break at Christmas? Top banana! Prep Work It’s been a while since I’ve been to any fancy Xmas Do – Chams exempt 💖- and my recolletions are pretty much pick out some trousers, find a shirt – possibly a tie, if it’s fancy – and then it’s boots or maybe brogues if black is required.

The one before the big day

Uncategorized

Hi, With us on the cusp of Christmas, I’d like to wish you all good luck during the festive break. Given the crazy times in which we find ourselves, I think we could all do with a day off from the merry-go-round. 🙂 I take hope you (and yours) remain safe and well, whatever you’re up to, and whoever you’re with. ❤️ I’d also like to express note of thanks to those of you who’ve visited and engaged with this little blog. With 2020 putting the brakes on so much, having a place to share thoughts and ideas has really helped, so thank you. On a blogging note, the time gain through not commuting means I have more creative energy […]

Our last one of the year

Uncategorized

Hi, Chameleons had the last meeting of 2020 the other day. Back in 2019, I’d thought it was going to be a party evening with plenty of friends, nibbles, music, and memories. Then along came COVID19 😁 Ah, life, eh? You have to make the best of what you have. Our Xmas Do was more a friendly chat, but better something rather than nothing. Besides, I think friends can help make the everyday special. We have survived as a group. We’ve branched out into the online world a little more, with both forum traffic being up, and a few folk giving our eMeetings a spin in between the regular real world meet ups. Last night was a quiet affair given […]

Not quite the last post of the year

Uncategorized

Hi, Given this is the last post I’ll make until after Christmas, I’d like to wish you all a fabulous festive break. Whatever you are up to, I hope it goes well. While I’m here, I’m going to say thanks for your comments and emails throughout the year. The insight, wit, and things you’ve shared have all been appreciated. It means that I get to read what you’re up to, and that means a lot to me. It seems a lot of us are all going forward in our own journeys, and I think that can only be a good thing. Indeed, for those of you who are blogging, please keep at it. Reading your thoughts and adventures are both […]
