September 2019 - Normal life goes on!

Ah yes the title says ‘Normal life goes on’ but as I keep asking what is ‘normal’? The answer is different for everyone and I am no exception. My ‘normal’ is simply what has happened in my life so far as per previous entries, so nothing changed! There ended my entry on this occasion! 

Ah not quite, as I have always something to say though and I wont make any exception here! Sorry folks but I must ramble! Since my last entry in April, for numerous reasons, I never manage to get out for over two months and it was not until beginning of June, I finally succeeded with a visit to the Village, albeit on a Wednesday which traditionally is ‘tranny night’. I had not been to the Village on a Wednesday for some time, mainly because it was getting quiet, along with some venue changes in the village too, some not for the better either. Consequently, this made it less of an attraction to go prefering to favour Friday / Saturday evenings when there is more people about and a better atmosphere. Anyway, knowing there was a couple of friends who would be there on this evening, I went and had a better evening that I imagine. To be honest, there were a few people about which helped including a few Tgirls too. The only real issue to driving home as the M62 tends to be closed due to road works in connection with the so called ‘smart motorway’ scheme which personally is a total farce! Instead 3 lanes of nose to tail traffic, have 4 lanes instead by using the hard shoulder. Nothing changes but spending loads of money on a wasted scheme along with all the inconvenience while the DoT do it!  

In July, manage to attend Sparkle for the weekend, although it was OK, saved by a small group of girls I met over the weekend, it could of been a total disaster. I never planned to stay the weekend but was at the literally last minute, had no choice due to changing circumstances at home for the weekend. Fortunately, I manage to stay with a friend which was appreciated but it ended up being a trial and error for both of us and not exactly a great success unfortunately. Next year, hopefully revert back to type and travel to/from Manchester, much easier. I must admit, I am not too sure of what is Sparkle’s purpose anymore, it is definitely being more commercialised and not for the better either. I dont think it is helped by the fact the ‘Village’ itself is changing and clearly less venues than there use to be. On the plus side, it is making some of the girls to venture outside the  Village area which is no bad thing. May be next year, I do something different in connection with the weekend although ‘Sparkle’ will be the excuse to meet some friends but outside the Village instead - yes? 

Since July, manage to get out a couple of occasions with some friends to the usual haunt of the Village and the evenings have been enjoyable but always they could be better. This is now’t to do with my friends, just my own thoughts and really looking for ‘everyday world’ outings again but finding girls who are similar to me, is just an age old problem and one that never be solved. But I won’t give up though and one day, things will change! 

Not been out for 4 weeks now due to a ‘virus’ which I am only beginning to shake off now but at least I am getting there now - at last! However, try as I did, I had plans to meet Nikki from Northern Ireland a week last Saturday as she was over on her twice yearly visit to the mainland but getting this virus was always touch and go if the meet was going to proceed. Unfortunately, I had to cancel, I was just not right but it did annoy me, as the meet had been planned for some time but sods law intervenes, how bloody annoying! Fortunately, Nikki took it in the right context which was appreciated but I still felt guilty, as it is not nice letting some one down. All being well, hopefully I will see Nikki at the beginning of next year. 

I have provisional plans for going this Saturday but currently not commited until I know I am 100% better as that is my priority. After that, nothing in the pipeline but really do wish to get  out during the day (afternoon / early evening) and be part of the ‘everyday’ world. Any takers to join me please but like me, wish to blend in and just be like everyone else around. Not noticed! 

Well, that is enough ramblings for now. Next entry as and when? 

April 2019 - An update!

We are third of the way into the year and only my second blog entry! That tells a story in itself I suppose and basically means it has been quiet for me. I think it has been two things that has caused this with one being, I have busy with other personal things which I have been enjoying more than being ‘myself’. Strange you may think, but not really, as most of us go through this during our lives and it is a question of priorities. However, I suppose I am not prepared to waste my time waiting for something to happen by lack of contact by other girls and as well as myself attempting to arrange outings as seems always end up of being cancelled for what ever reason you wish to think. Hence doing other things while I have the chance too. The second thing, I have already mentioned, which is lack of contact by others. Ah well never mind, I move on and see what happens in the future but I will be out, that I am sure.

Although suggesting I have not been out this year, I have manage it on three occasions which have been enjoyable but I do have the feeling they could of been better. I really need to get out in the everyday world rather just a night out in the Village but who with though? There lies a problem, as I would love to meet a girl similar to me for ‘normalville’ outing whether daytime or evening. I suppose my problem, I have particular standards for going out with the aim of ‘blending in’ as I rather not be noticed when out and about. This is an issue I have found as others don’t have the same thoughts / values as I have which is no doubt my downfall. Unfortunate but true? Regardless, I did meet a nice girl from Northern Ireland called Nickie who was on her way over to Chesterfield for an event and she was staying in Birkenhead for the first evening of her visit over here. I agreed to meet her and we went for a chinese meal on a cold frosty evening in Birkenhead. Nickie was a lovely Irish girl and we have agreed to meet again, this probably be September on her next visit to England. I look forward to her company again. 

Amazingly, I have had over 10000 hits on my original blog but clearly not sure how many people have actually read my blog entries but if you have though, thank you. Just a shame my entries do not generate any comments but hey ho, never mind. The blog is done for my benefit so anything else is a bonus. This brings me on to reading other blogs and unfortunately something has changed in recent months (Google messing about) and I am now unable to make any comments on other people’s blogs. I have attempted to find out why via the ‘help/forum’ desk as such but no one has been able reslove the matter unfortunately. So sadly I am in limbo and my apologies for no comments from me! 

With being quiet, my wardrobe remains the same with just a handful of additions, namely a dress , a top and couple of short skirts. Certainly my current feelings is to wear short skirts as I feel comfortable in them but I know ‘MD’ is not overly keen on them, preferring to act my age! For the time being I will wear short skirts while my legs are still ok. Regardless, I know my future outfits will be more mature as I get older and yes, the classic ‘pleated’ longer skirts will become the norm along with the relevant foundation underwear but will be wearing stockings. One outing this year, already got me dressing like that and you know I enjoyed wearing the ‘classic’ clothes.  

Well that is enough for this entry and see what the short to medium term holds for me as for outings and I always have ‘Sparkle’ come July. 

January 2019 - A New Year but what next?

The first entry of the New Year but first I need to conclude 2018 first! 

Well the major family event went expected with the lovely sound of the little patter of tiny feet has arrived which makes MR and myself very happy with fun times ahead! In some ways, that has been the highlight of the year. 

Manage to get out twice during December although one of the outings was completely spolit and curtailed early by a timewaster who I think done it on purpose. Harsh that may be but unknown to the person, I had found out information from another source which more or less confirms my thoughts. She did not just waste my time but also another girl and her friend too. Sadly that particular girls card has now been marked and to avoid in future. My other outing went as planned and met up with Julia (Leeds) and Jane Gee in the Village, nice to catch up with both of them too! That was the last meet of 2018 as it is always difficult to get out during the Christmas and New Year period for other reasons.

As for summary of 2018, to be honest, I am not sure what to think but may I just say it could of been much much better and leave it at that.

As for the start of the New Year, well not much to say although in December I had received an invite to attend Julia’s Birthday celebrations being held during the weekend of February’s Leeds First Friday which I accepted and even manage to get shared accomodation too with another girl. But like all best laid plans, it went pearshape a few days ago when presented with an increased invoice for a repair and suddenly realised given the amount of the increase, Julia’s birthday celebrations suddenly became mission impossible and with regret, had to inform Julia that I no longer could attend! I was so looking forward in attending and let my hair down so to speak! So not a good start to the year. In fact has a new year started as it still feels like last year?

I still try to get out sometime this month but not sure who with and where, regardless, it has got to be a cheap evening out! Beyond that, I am not going to think beyond end of January seems to be best approach for now. 

Finally although it is now mid January, I wish any readers of my blog along with my friends, a happy New Year and hopefully, your wishes come true.
