Nearly a month

 I've been a little busy and quite frankly not in the mood to be Rachel for nearly a month.

But in the last couple of days, probably made up for the lack of interest in dressing and relaxing.

Still got Christmas shopping to do, and Black Friday saw the mall packed.

My dark brown wig is rapidly approaching it's best before by date, so starting to enjoy my black wig that my daughters say suits me better.

Sylvia park with Santa trying to photo bomb me 😀

I've just bought a beautiful new (ruby smocked midi) dress for $139 from Decjuba. I never normally pay over $50 but since enjoying my oldest girls nice clothes, I decided to splash out on something nice. I would show you how pretty it is but it's not even a day old yet and currently being warn by one of my girls (I hope I look half a pretty in it).

My bad

Okay, so my daughter took her clothes to her new accommodation.

While rummaging through my "go bag" I discovered her red dress still inside it from my last outing. 

This was a nice surprise and since I had Friday off work, I decided to wear it one last time

For breakfast coffee

For Brunch at Newmarket shopping center (okay, one photo was a bit quick for me to strike a pose - because sometimes I'm not perfect)

A late lunch at Sylvia Park, getting new hiking shoes and a new SD card for my gopro. That's another story about another daughter who thought her SD card was fault, binned it and stole mine.

Heading home, I decided one last coffee after a lovely day out

Sunday, I get to see my girls (and partners) at a family dinner, so I've bagged her dress and intend to return it to her then, because I know what it's like to look for a favorite dress and find an empty coat hanger where it used to be and then chase down the girls to find out who borrowed it.

SUNDAY - one last photoshoot before the dress is returned.

Wife thought I was crazy, but I think she enjoyed me "playing a maid", getting me vacuuming under the couch etc.

Bugger.....

For two weeks, I've enjoyed my daughters wardrobe, but now she has found a place closer to work and has taken all her clothes.

Last week (before she took her clothes) I went out for coffee

And some more coffee 

And then a walk around Silverdale mall and some more coffee

I so love this dress, it's so light and soft, it's almost like not wearing anything at all and loved how it shaped around my boobs

Eventually I had to buy groceries, but decided on checking out another mall, having dinner there and then picking up groceries. When I eventually got home, wife says "Hello mister make up", I was so sure I got most off but it did make me slightly self conscious when the neighbour called me over to share some local news.

Suzzie caught me out relaxing

It was going to be "one of those days"

My sore knee (the one I damaged 30 years ago parachuting and more recently re-damaged on a mountain hike) woke me up early. Add to that the thought of working a stressful 10 hour day and I was in need of a good relaxing coffee at McDonalds Ellerslie before work. The day went south very quickly, but I had planned for it and that hour relaxing got me in a good frame of mind for the shit that was about to happen.

Suzzie just happened by McDonalds at the same time I was there. If anyone sees me around, don't be shy, say "Hi", I don't bite - promise, and if you see me on my device, I'm just reading the daily news and happy to put it down for a fun chat.

Okay, a fun fact, my oldest daughter has moved in temporarily and brought ALL her clothes AND said we could wear them, so....

During the week, I had dinner out a Sylvia Park.

I also visited Newmarket shopping center and grabbed some groceries earlier in the week

I know, very much the same as the other dress, daughter probably got a buy one get one half price or something, but the material feels really nice and I love how snug they are around my chest.

Oh, I also had brunch in Pukekohe the other day.

Ummm... time to check her wardrobe again to see what else I can wear out 😀

Beer & burger

 I'm not really into those flash restaurants, just a good beer and burger is enough for me.

I really wanted another excuse to wear my stocking (Kmart silky sheer stay up for $7), I just love the feel. It's funny that men think you wear a certain thing to influence a man into certain action, but really women wear stuff to suit themselves most often.
