Assumed Sanity

In this life, I find I can do most things (except play guitar or any other musical instrument), so as I sit here at McDonalds at 7.30am with lots of customers, working on a Picaxe micro controller design for a boat, having read the daily paper including the business section and travel, a thought crossed my mind.

Why am I wearing this?







































I suppose a teal corset (with my flat chest) and a shiny pvc looking tight mini skirt is not something most sane people would wear, but as I watch my locals, and understand the manager is the son of one of my friends, I realise I wear this out fit because I want to.
I know that having my bicepts and shoulders bare violates all the crossdressing rules, but at the end of the day, my manly body is quite good and efficient and I'm not ashamed of it so what the hell.

Found myself thinking of my wife, still in bed and now I'm missing her, time to go home :)

                       **************************************************

What a good decision to go home, it's school holidays and Miss 14 and wife were looking at a boring day.
I had one of the best ever daughter / dads day, and the wife played the photographer

Lets just say, we did some serious arse kicking.
I reckon we're the best duo on the fields.

ANZAC DAY

Today we recognise the contribution to our lives, made by our war vets and fallen solders including our brothers in Australia. While it was based on the first world war, we now appreciate all those that have fought in any conflict to create the freedom we now enjoy.

Today, I had planned with a Southern girl, to meet up and take her for coffee. 2 days ago she started to get concerned out going out and yesterday cancelled her outing.
For me, it means I can have an hour to myself and then get back to my daughter who slept over last night as she flies to Christchurch Friday morning with her mum for the rest of the school holidays.
When I get home (and she eventually wakes up) I'll probably take her to the field and let her fly my RC helicopter

OK, so my hour of girl time starts with a coffee from McDonalds, taking a few photos of me in one of my daughters XS purple tops and big boobs, skinny jeans and wonderlust perfume.
I think a lot of the dawn parade participants have turned up here, lots of children (1 girl told me I had lovely hair), a mum with a smaller bum than me - ha ha, OK so there are about 10 more mums and a quite a few dads with larger bums, but I still like mine the best.

Soon, hopefully, I'll get to the hardware shop as I need some butane and aluminium welding rods to repair my patio furniture. I would also like to get some 5 mm glass for another project on my friends boat but that will mean some more specialised tools, so I'll probably have to go with a clear plastic :(

Wife's birthday tomorrow, I should check to see if the weather is good for snorkeling or white water rafting as a present.

To many days in man-land

OK the fishing was fun, working on the boat, even more fun, but to go so many days without an outing is really not acceptable!!!
Last Thursday, I got home and was a bit short tempered with Miss 15, nothing bad, she just picked up on my frustrations. She asked what was wrong, I replied nothing except I need to go out for some girl time. I got changed, picked up a phone I bought online, and visited my local and busy McDonalds at 6pm. Had a wonderful burger called "The Texas Burger" as they are trying to promote burgers with American themes. I spent an hour there trying to figure out my new Android phone.
BTW it's a great phone at about 30% of the price of most named brands of phone.
I then visited K-Mart and tried on a few outfits.
It was a quick outing, but eased my frustrations.

OMG, went out Monday night (8th April)......
This was purely as I had an opportunity and wife kindly even offered to pay for my dinner at "The Coffee Club".

I went out with Josie (pictured on the right).
She was dressed so..... deliciously.
As for me, well lets just say it was getting dark, and I was in a hurry to dressed and put makeup on.
After an hour and a half, a nice meal, good chat and a glass of wine, it became time to get back to our other interesting and cool lives.

Interesting weekend

Woke up early and excited for a fishing trip on my friends boat after I helped fix his fish finder and toilet. Wives attended and it was a fun days outing.

OK, so our wives did most of the catching and catering

The day was perfect and the company was great.
On the way home, we were discussing the engine noise, the owner mentioned how the belt was a bit slappy at low speed but ran smoother at high speed, and sure enough it did, and within a second or 2 the alternator light came on.
We didn't really need to worry about power as diesel engines don't need power to run. About 2 minutes later, a great fog of smoke bellowed from the engine.
Grabbing a load of life jackets and fire extinguisher and ensuring the women were at a safe distance it was time to find out the source of the smoke. The owner slowly opened up the engine cowling with me at the ready with the extinguisher, only to be welcomed with a cabin fill of smoke so thick I could barely see the far side of the engine and expecting the inrush of Oxygen to cause more problems we waited.
and waited
and waited.
With the smoke clearing, we discovered the alternator belt also powered the water pump.



30 minutes later, having replaced the belt, watching as replaced water ran freely out a frost plug at the top of one of the cylinders, we decided it was fishing time again..

Rangitoto Island to our WEST

2 hours later of fairly good fishing, we realised that the Coast Guard while good with GPS locations (had our IPhone been enabled properly) were not that hot with the old fashioned triangulation or have any understanding of what NORTH was as opposed to SOUTH, luckily our high power lamp assisted them locating us.

Anyway on to Sunday -  Brunch and shopping day with my girlfriend, and a new dress for me. It's nice to be out with someone who can take photos for my blog. By 10.30am, Sylvia Park shops were getting a bit full, but it was a very enjoyable 2 hours.


I can still feel the rocking of the boat from Saturdays outing and my hands are painfully sore from fishing and bringing up the anchor each time.

I hope you have a great week

Loves & kisses from

Normal outing day

Of course it starts with coffee,
but this time I mix it up with a date scone. The chef also added a hint of orange rind along with the normal cinnamon
- That's my idea of living radically.

During my hour at Columbus Coffee, reading the paper and The Womans Weekly mag, about 30 people came in for brunch, including 3 families with young kids (8-13 year old).

I should really thank Miss 15 for the use of her velvet tights, and my wife for her pink top (that I bought specially for her)



After weeks / months of sunshine and not a drop of water, today weather is a steady soaking which is doing the garden lots of good, but limiting my outings to indoor pursuits. I was tempted to go to the cinema at Newmarket but parking fees would probably cost more than the movie. I phoned my wife and she requested some groceries, so I stopped at Meadowlands shopping centre for her, and ingredients for some home made pizza. This is one shopping centre, that if 2 people visited at any one time, shop owners would get overly excited.
At Countdown grocery shop, the woman at the checkout ahead of me had a lovely leopard print bra under her thin white blouse, I might have been staring by the way she smiled at me.


So now I'm back home, having made my wife pizza and a cup of tea while she studies her University course and hopefully does her assignment. I'm glad she is not put off her work by my cute velvety bum or large breasts.

4.05pm and just having a nap, when wife woke me in a panic to get out - we were having a wee earthquake. By the time I got up, the earth had settled down. I decided to remove my makeup and boobs and put on a normal boys t-shirt, soon after my oldest daughter (who doesn't know about my hobby) came home for dinner, and also a female friend of my wifes.
Daughter commented on my tights - probably expecting wife to be upset, but she didn't react,and I even let wifes friend feel how smooth they were while my tights were the topic of conversation.

I also had to pick up one daughter & her BF, go to shops with them, pick up another daughter from church, all while in these tights and grey t-shirt.
I love these tights
