I Blushed

We are still in lockdown, but this reduced level allows me to order online and then drive out and pick up my order.

So wife wanted more potting mix and bark for the garden and ordered 8 bag loads from Bunnings which I had to pick up for her.

The young man scanned my barcode and went and got my order.

We're not allowed to leave or cars and we still have to wear masks so I wasn't overly visible, but after loading up my car, he approached my passenger window and said how beautiful I looked.

I wonder how good his vision was, but it still caused me to blush

Day Whatever.......still in lockdown

Without the working week, does it really matter what day it is?

During this lockdown, I've cleaned the gutters around the house, cleaned the house, inside and out, built 2 trellis for wind breaks and privacy, built the floor structure for a new shed and walked about 8km each day.

I won't comment on how much I've eaten, not like there's much more to do.

Hoping to be able to go to work soon before all my funds have been used up, adding to the stress on top of that I've only been able to dress nicely about 1 hour every 3rd day - seriously not enough girl time (wife and daughter have commented about me dressing too often)

I did manage 30 minutes out at the shops picking up essential supplies (milk, bread, Hundreds and Thousands biscuits).

Lockdown Post

Built stairs on outdoor path. Built seats in rear courtyard. Built new shed base (can't buy the shed yet). Built and painted trellis and installed as privacy screen on front porch.  Washed house and pergola (inside and outside). Moved small trees and pot plants to wife's current requirements. Walked many Kms.

And grew a beard.

Worn yoga tights often (sometimes all day long, sometimes the black ones, sometimes my silver ones)

Practiced single rope climbing and abseiling in the above tights

Lockdown - the craziest of times.

In lockdown number 4

Monday, I managed to get to the library and pick up a few books. I've gotten to the stage of not worrying about 3 days without shaving or applying makeup. Maybe something in the universe was telling me I'll have plenty of time for book reading


Tuesday, on the way home from work I decided to have a coffee stop, wearing one of my daughters blue and pink jumper and black pleated skirt. 


Sorry, this photo doesn't show the pleated skirt so I've done another photo for you. I was kind of hoping to get to H&M this week to buy one in my size, this extra small is a bit tight 😊

Anyway, about an hour after my coffee at Coffee Club, the government announced a snap lockdown at midnight Tuesday (6 hours notice). We had 1 case of community transmission of Covid. 3 days later and after a lot of testing, there were 25 people out there unknowing spreading it. Hopefully the next 5 days we won't top 120 and we can relax (assuming twats aren't breaking the rules, otherwise we could be out of work for weeks to come).

As for me, I've worn womens clothes each morning and afternoon, built some steps in the back yard and painted a trellis ready for installing on the front porch (someone built a 2 story next door that looks onto the porch). Lockdown gives me the time to do those projects that have been waiting on free time.

Day without commitments :)

 I'm a free man(?) for a day, what to do?

First of all take daughters size 1 slinky evening dress from the pile of her throw out clothes accessorize it so it looks more casual, keeping the tight arse lower half in display (hope it doesn't show my G string too much) and go have an 8 am coffee at a nice shop in a posh area.

8.55 am, in the hope of moving more freely, lose the high heels and super tight dress and replace with a nice shiny green skirt for a stroll around Newmarket shopping mall once it opens. I got to see inside most dress shops, tried on a few outfits. I really wanted to re-check the H&M pleated skirt to make sure I didn't want it but ended up trying on a few different more business like outfits.

I didn't get to fool anyone, not that I was trying too, I was just relaxing and enjoying being feminine. Anyway, after Newmarket I also visited Sylvia Park to check out the outfits in Zara and Kookai.

In the end, I decided I would rather spend my money on buying some driving lights for my car.

After a couple of coffees, I decided to get changed, head home and help my daughter buy a new bed for my grandson, then help her re arrange the furniture to accommodate his larger bed.

 This evening was filled with a few relaxing beers and watching an action movie.
