What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

wild weather

Our country has taken a battering with the wind and rain lately, so it's quite sensible to wear PVC where possible, jacket and full length skirt is ideal. 

Wife gives me lots of time to remove nail polish, normally tells me about 5 minutes after I've put it on. 


Wife and I went to one of my regular cafes, the young woman behind the counter recognized me in boy mode and brought my coffee to me before we even ordered. Wife and I had a laugh and wife thought the woman was the nicest person ever for being kind to "Rachel".














My phone died (not charging any more) so I had to get a replacement. 
My new phone has an AI camera app, so using the photo above, it gives me......
Jee...I wish I looked that good 😁

Thank goodness I have a sense of humour, otherwise I might CHOSE to feel "offended" and want to sue someone (that's what we do now a days isn't it?  Be "offended" by everything, be the "victim" of everyone and everything, then scream and shout like spoiled babies right?)

Escape

Crossdressing is a great escape, letting another personality out for a while.

Another, even better escape for me is the mountains, going wild, living out of a backpack.










I think I was influenced as a kid, by this Tv series (okay, your old if you know the show)


Okay, so a week in the bush, I returned with a grey frosting under my chin - you know the cup cakes with icing on the top - well my face looked like an upside down cup cake. If my head had as much hair as my chin, I wouldn't have shaved it off, but as it was, it did take 3 shaves to lose the stubble.

It's been difficult to re-connect with my girl side. I thought as soon as I left the mountains, life would return as normal, but the mountains stayed in my heart longer than I expected.

If I had the choice, mountains or "Rachel time", mountains would win all the time.

I did get out this weekend for about 3 hours, visit the pet groomers, library, have coffee, got fresh groceries to make lunches for a few days.
