Back when I was a wee lad......

Well that's a title I would never have picked, but at the age of 12 I was taught how to drive and had prepared a rant (with photos) about people parking on "no parking" lane markings.

INSTEAD
I had a great morning start, with coffee.
I wasn't going to borrow my skinny daughters Macpac jacket, but it just squished my boobs the way I like them pressed into me - sorry, it was a bad photo, dark background, dark jacket and bright overhead lighting while using the grainy selfie camera.

After that I checked out the hardware store looking for a plastic storage box.
Grabbed a trolley worth of groceries.
Had more coffee, before having to "man up" for a day of house renovations (clearing 2 bedrooms and lifting the flooring) .
 




Mitre 10 warehouse bathroom display area.

One the way out, I did see some really nice 18 inch high Star Wars R2D2 garden ornaments on a two for one sale. Only wanted one, recon the wife would absolutely love one in her garden (on mentioning it too her, she muttered something about it being my headstone).

Everybody, was really nice to me (except wife when I mentioned the R2D2 garden ornament, don't understand why she wouldn't want it in her beautiful garden)

Saving dog

I've been saving for the last 18 weeks, for a trip to see my dad on his 80th birthday at the end of July.

Last week however, my dog got seriously sick and needed an operation (bladder stones which last occurred 30 weeks ago), so goodbye another 17 weeks worth of savings.
Losing so many $,$$$ at this stage is a right pain the purse.

This morning, I really wanted to wear my PVC one piece, but planning on visiting a popular coffee stop, I decided just a shiny top, small mini skirt that just covers my butt, and stockings.

 



Yes, -  I'm aware the overhead lighting puts a bump in the wrong place and had I had dysphoria, I would be having a serious mental breakdown.

Luckily for me (being gender fluid / dual personalities in co-conscious configuration), I'm very happy, and more importantly, so is the wife, with what's under my skirt.




Back home and wanting more conservative look, I swapped the shiny top for my daughter white jumper. I liked the look with the mini skirt but wife and kids will be up and about so I went for a longer skirt (daughters slippers as my feet are getting cold without stockings on).

No surprises

Wife and daughter are painting our bedroom - 
I want to be well away from that project as I painted it just 3 years ago while the two "DIY experts" were away (saves me getting ear ache). They had decided for a clean white room back then but last week wife started putting grey test pot patches over the walls.

The wind is running at 90 km/h, with periods of light rain.
Wanting to escape being involved in painting, I decided to visit the Auckland museum as it's been a few years since my last visit and it has an underground car park. Wife asked me to leave and return discretely (aka wig less, but I did have foundation and mascara on as well as wearing my female clothes under my outer layer of men's clothing) and change in the car.

Arriving at the museum, I discovered half of it was shut for renovations - the very same half that's connected to the underground car park. As I stroll around to the main entrance with a 90 km/h breeze on my back, the wind funnels through the door and almost doubles it's speed, but I made it in with my wig still on but probably looking like a dogs back end.
 
 


Meandering around the open half of the museum, no one blinked, smiled or even seemed a little surprised at this old cross dresser being out in public. I think maybe the "normals" are getting used to trans or gender fluid people or maybe they have been educated not to make a fuss.














With the museum half closed, including the coffee shop, I headed for McDonald's again (maybe I should get paid for mentioning them so much) for a coffee.

 I got home just as the girls were finishing the first coat of paint on the last wall, I'll have to disappear again next weekend when they do the second coat.
Also I'm not surprised that the cat has paint on him, and there's paint paw prints on my keyboard (mostly off now). It's hard trimming cat fur when they just want to escape.

It's Autumn here now, and this morning I picked up all the leaves around the house and the neighbours driveway which our tree hangs over, arriving back home at 4 pm, there was another pile of leaves blown up, just as high as this mornings lot - hopefully they will blow away before the morning.

Nail polish

For some unknown reason, I bought a very pink nail polish which has been sitting around for a month waiting for me to use it.
Coincidentally, one of my daughters left a pretty blue, off the shoulder top at home this weekend - this just might match.
This morning I put the two together for my early coffee outing (I say early because I like to be home when the wife wakes up).
Wife reminded me last night, after applying the nail polish to drive a few miles away because she's still afraid someone in the real world will recognize me.

Stopped off at one of my favorite McDonald's for my morning coffee, lovely staff took this photo for you.

I got home just before my wife woke, made her a morning coffee in bed, then took off my top and skirt and joined her in bed.
Some mornings just end happily.

Showered and removed my make up and nail polish before joining friends, as we walked and had refreshments (beer & chips) on the Auckland amazing waterfront watching the yachts, super yachts, racing yachts, vintage boats and a sea plane.

10 out of 10 for a perfect day.

Don't look to hard at my legs, just realized I haven't shaved them in the last 2 weeks, still at least they aren't spiky 😁


Yesterday was also amazing, we spent the day looking at motorbikes for me and viewing lots of motor homes, dreaming of that day we both sell up and disappear for months.
