What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Full day and end of the year

Morning started with a 10am visit to the doctors, but by 9am I was in the area and visited the library next door. Of course there's a chemist in the area and they had my meds ready in a few minutes.



Next on the list is coffee and a muffin




















I'm really keen to get the drone up and do a couple of flights, hoping to show you me enjoying the sun, so I head to a waterway where drone flights are okay only to be disappointed on two accounts

1) It was very windy and the video of me with my hair going in all directions wasn't cool

2) I looked like a bloke in women's clothing - I really think it's time for a different interest.


















Okay, I've not really had time to think about giving up this hobby, so after our work Christmas lunch on Wednesday and the boss telling us all to go home at 3pm (some will end up Ubering home and probably call in sick tomorrow), I decided to stop at the pub on the way home and have a good think about giving crossdressing up.




And I've decided, I'm fine just being me 😁

So with the silly season apon us, and my girl clothes getting packed away for 3 weeks of house visitors, I would just like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas.

Quite a few days at 30 degrees

 Summer feels to be about a month early and it's far to hot to wear a wig or make up during most of the day. While that hasn't stopped me from wearing light weight feminine tops and once or twice a summer dress, it also means I'm not really in a girl mood most of the time and I have a 5pm shadow without make up to hide it 😠

I've done a couple of small runs to the supermarket, wife likes to do the big shop so my job is just the occasional bread an milk type trips

That doesn't mean I can't have a coffee before shopping or on the way home from work.

Weekend yachting

Okay, really feels like summer now and with a weekend on a yacht, not only are my arms sore from working the sheets, but my skin is dried out and burnt. Still doesn't stop me from shopping, hunting for Christmas presents.



Yes, it's a new dress, purchased online yet looking at what's now in our shops at around the same price, using retail shops would have been better (I only added it to what I was buying so that I got free postage).

I've done a couple of other bits of shopping, Bunnings and Kmart, absolutely no idea what I was buying from the photos, but I have taken an interest in my garden such that I have a seedling box and good garden chemicals now.

Burst of Summer???

Multiple cloudless days, 22-24 degrees, enough for me not wanting to be out in the heat of the day.

I've also discovered - I don't fit any of my old dresses that I have worn over the last 10 summers. My shoulders are bigger, my chest is bigger and so is my belly 😕

I'm still doing the same old stuff (I did see today a 800cc motorbike for sale at $6,999 that I was tempted to consider - but wife would have killed me before the bike did). Shopping for groceries, clothes, library, bank, beach















I did found a nice silky skirt at H&M that I will probably buy next pay day.

wild weather

Our country has taken a battering with the wind and rain lately, so it's quite sensible to wear PVC where possible, jacket and full length skirt is ideal. 

Wife gives me lots of time to remove nail polish, normally tells me about 5 minutes after I've put it on. 


Wife and I went to one of my regular cafes, the young woman behind the counter recognized me in boy mode and brought my coffee to me before we even ordered. Wife and I had a laugh and wife thought the woman was the nicest person ever for being kind to "Rachel".














My phone died (not charging any more) so I had to get a replacement. 
My new phone has an AI camera app, so using the photo above, it gives me......
Jee...I wish I looked that good 😁

Thank goodness I have a sense of humour, otherwise I might CHOSE to feel "offended" and want to sue someone (that's what we do now a days isn't it?  Be "offended" by everything, be the "victim" of everyone and everything, then scream and shout like spoiled babies right?)
