getting a bit warm

Not sure about you, but my make up melts around 25 C, which means if I want to be outside much after 9.00 am, I can't wear make up. It's at those times you need to know which shops have good air conditioning.

I had a great evening drinks on Saturday with my girlfriend, but due to the heat I was in boy mode (shorts and tee shirt).
I got invited out to the "Big Gay Out" as we soon start a week of gay, lesbian, transgender celebrations. I don't think I'm really in to that scene, although I do empathize with some of the issues these people go through

I really needed some girl time as my stress levels were sky rocketing
Sunday I had a few hours to myself (ie 7 am until 9 am), just enough time for coffee at McDonalds, read my book and too get more plumbing stuff from the hardware.

First couple of photos are specially for you, certainly not something I would normally wear in general public even though I got a lot of smiles, but at 8 am, the sun is getting hot and I need air conditioning.

 

 Bunning hardware, of course I'm not going in with such a see through top, like I said that was for you, not the general public, but I do like the feeling of the tights so I'm not swapping out of them. 

FUNNY THING TODAY
I went to the pools at a neighbouring suburb just after 9 am, there were only about 4 of us in the lane pool. I turned up in my blue high waisted jeans, pretty bra and thin black tee before getting changed into my usual blue one piece swimsuit. An hour later I turned up at my first appointment for the day and it was one of the 4 ladies and was leaning against the side watching everyone else, when I got in.

Status:

STATUS:  multiple muscle failures (knotted) and busted knee after spending yesterday fitting new floating wooden floor slats.
Attempted remedy - attended gym this morning for cardio and work faulty muscles but all that did was make my purple 3/4 tights, push up bra, sports bra and breast forms sweaty.
Showered and changed into skirt and t-shirt, but still to hot for underwear or make up during my coffee stop.

Spent the next few hours away from the build, doing a father-daughter adventure playing mini-golf with my youngest.

84 minutes on a Thursday after work

Three S's (military code for Shit, Shower & Shave)
Then I got dressed, drove to the local pub (except for the very attractive barmaid, I was the only female(???), about 10 males hitting the beers, having "Lads" time)
After a glass of wine, I got a few grocery supplies, drove home cleaned up the kitchen while chatting to the kids, then got changed into my builders clothes for more renovation work.

 


Yes it's a new skirt, wife bought it and it arrived today, thought I would test it for her.

Total time, 84 minutes

Building work causing injury

A while back (Feb 2015) I fell off a 2 foot stool on to internal steps and busted my shoulder.
I had lots of physio

Well all this hammering, working over my head, painting ceilings & walls etc has re-damaged my shoulder such that at around 4 am, I get pins and needles down my right arm and while some mornings I can get back to sleep, other mornings I just end up staying awake.




So I sneak out of the house as the others won't be awake for some time, especially at weekends.

 

So far I've tried swimming and some shoulder exercises at the gym to no effect.

This weekend was a 4.30 am wake up, managed to stay in bed for another hour before throwing on my daughters top and skimpy black shorts (stockings to hide my hairy legs) and going for coffee.

 

Around 7 am I popped in to the grocery shop for supplies as we were having guests around this afternoon.

 

8 am was the opening time for Mitre 10 hardware - I needed a heated towel rail so I can size and re-enforce my new wall in such a way the rail was screwed in to wood instead of dry wall.

 


Spent the rest of the morning chatting to wife, helping her gardening, second run on plastering the new bedroom (should have done 3 runs on plastering to get it perfect), primer/sealed paint and 1 coat of colour to the bedroom, then removing my blue nail polish before guests arrived.

OTHER NEWS
Miss 18 borrowed one of my strapless tops yesterday, happily telling wife and I what a great asset she found in my girl draws (she is sleeping in my study while I'm rebuilding her bedroom). I told her I don't own any strapless tops. Tonight in my pile of washing that the wife nicely took to my bedroom was my "strapless top" aka an above the knee tight skirt.
Think I might try it as a top as it did look good on her.

2018 in with a BANG

Well, actually for me it started with a coffee

 

The Bang happened around 9.30 am, when I reversed my wifes car into the vacuum facility at the local petrol station.
On the good side - staff will blame some pretty babe in pink top and tights (and not my other me).
I'll get around to fixing it after I've put dry wall on my new bedroom, wife has me doing long days on the renovations.

January 2 was better, coffee without the bang.
Actually I dropped of one of my daughters at the airport, normally I would kiss and cuddle her her goodbye, but I didn't want her to have lipstick on her cheeks - she's very fussy over her make up.
Then I had coffee before going to the viewing spot to watch her plane take off.

 

With all the building work, my arms and back are starting to suffer, so I've had to take up swimming again - the spa and sauna are also a bonus. I'm amazed at how difficult it is to put on a bra, top and leggings when your skin is damp after a shower - not even going to mention trying to put on foundation just after spending too long in the sauna.

The thing about swimming - it's impossible to look glam at my age no matter how pretty and nice the swimsuit is.









My coffee mornings, normally before my wife wakes up around 9 am, have over these holiday all blurred and I'm unsure how many and which day any of them were on.

 


OMG - went to Sylvia Park shopping center yesterday (Friday)
I walked up and down the mall so much my feet started hurting where my flats rubbed my little toe.
I tried on soooo many outfits.

 

With my daughters high waisted pants, I really wanted short tops - I've never had high waisted pants, never even thought about having a pair for myself, but these feel so amazing I just never want to take them off.

Well except to try on other clothes.

I tried on 3 tops at the Warehouse - nothing really to write home about.

ZARRA - I tried a few nice tops but I didn't emotionally connect.

H&M - Amazing dress for $30, looked and felt like $1M, and while it was shoulderless, ironically it was too small for my shoulders - even after I had removed my boobs to reduce my size. Just another 3 inches to zip up and I would have been in. I really need a good cry. Staff were very sympathetic


COTTON ON - 3 more tops, 2 were normal tops and one red one was what I would call a "play" top, one of those things you do for crazy fun (note to self - more work required on abs and reduce beer intake).

MIRROU - 3 more tops, the last top was a fun floral. Don't know why but with the music in the shop, fun floral top, I found myself breaking in to a dance, jiggling my assets, working the room - all in the changing room cubical.
This top was worth all the wig on-wig off changes of the last 2 hours.

Once I got my floral top home, wife liked it so much she wore it the rest of the day and I got to wear my ripped & dirty t-shirt and shorts with a builders belt as an accessory.
