Still too hot

but I've found being up high in the mountains and forests for a week, is a good way to stay a bit cooler. I even got to have a couple of swims (river crossings that are deeper than my waist). One thing that does make me hot, is when I'm on day 4 of dry rations and someone pulls out fresh onions, peppers and meat for an evening meal. My little camp cooker is good for boiling water, but the gas flame is to narrow to heat a large pan. It's also upsetting when the same person pulls out a beer from their pack while I'm drinking water from waterfalls and streams.

Wife and I went out to a local sports bar, had a drink and played pool (it's been 3 decades since I last played and probably 4 for my wife) - it was a nice relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.

Anyway, crossdressing (that's why I've written this and the reason your here, not to read about normal life)....

It's taken a few days to shave off the hairy chin and I haven't even started on my hairy legs yet (maybe a leg wax would be nice).

Finally got out this morning, shopped for projects around the new house, had coffee while I was out. It felt nice to have makeup on, skirt and nice shoes after all the time in scruffy clothes and boots. At one point, I stood up from a chair, while I was standing on the long skirt, almost had my skirt drop around my knees - something to be aware of if your into crossdressing and long skirts 😂

Relaxing is just nicer, in girl mode

Too Hot

Our days are hitting 28 Degrees (82F for my American viewers) and far too hot for a wig - the dresses are great as the breeze passes underneath, but wig makes it seem hotter and the make up almost melts off.

This morning, without chores, I headed to McDonalds in Ellerslie for a coffee. 

I had a nice chap compliment me on my attire and got to see a few really cool cars that stopped by before they went to the Classic Car Show.



I felt the outfit might have been a bit OTT for daytime shopping, so a car change into something a bit more appropriate for the mall.



The funny thing about fishnet stocking, I started feeling like I was old (like 40 years older). It's almost as if fishnets belonged to the generation before me, I was glad once I got them off.

With the new house, we have inherited lots of bamboo. So I had a coffee at the garden center before buying some "Cut and Paste" bamboo killer - think I'll be killing bamboo for a while. I did have a nice chat with staff and made sure wife got the membership points for the product.

Speaking of the new house, already passed the neighbour within a couple of meters while dressed pretty, I mean they would have found out eventually, not like I hide the fact.



 
Once the day got cooler, I did the usual "man stuff", lift the 2 x 2.5 meter greenhouse and moved it to the other side of the yard, lifted out the 1960's clothes line out of the ground, both without dislocating a shoulder or damaging my back - no need for weight lifting training today. 
The yard is now ready for me to hire a digger and create a couple of levels.
 
Think wife will be impressed her wish list is happening fast (hope I get more wardrobe space as a reward 😃)
