  • Girly nights galore Another pleasant week in the life of Lucy. Pippa came over after work on Tuesday and stopped until Wednesday afternoon, a brief visit but we made the most of it and it was lovely as always to have her here. I gave her lots of hugs. Tomorrow I’m going over to see Cerys, and get t...

  • Words and feelings I was recently involved in a forum debate, which digressed (as they do) onto the subject of definitions of transsexual and transgender. Those of us that took an interest and commented on this were on more than one occasion told off for getting caught up in unimportant issues or j...
  • That was the week that was What a super week it was. 3 days and 3 nights with the lovely Pippa, a great deal of love and support from my friends, and finally plucking up the courage to tell my mum about me. Not only that, but her acceptance of me and my secret could not have been better. She was am...
  • Today’s the day Or is it? Oh I don’t know. My mum is coming for dinner tonight, as I mentioned the other day she will want to know what I’ve been doing all week.

  • The song remains the same Oh dear. I started writing a blog last night but my eyes kept leaking. I tried to write about the last three days spent with Pippa, but began at the end for some reason; the image of her riding off into the sunset was still fixed in my mind. So I didn’t get very far with i...

  • Dismiss the bugler, that wasn’t the last post Ok I lied it wasn’t my last post for a while. After I posted that my mum rang, I’d said a while ago that she must come to dinner some time so she was basically ringing to take me up on my offer. I put her off until the weekend, so naturally she wanted t...
  • This may be my last post for a while No it’s not one of those posts, you should all know me better than that by now. I just wanted to say that I will be busy for a few days so you may not see me, though I might pop in briefly, if we get bored. Hmmm? Pippa is now coming over tomorrow and staying for...
  • Auntie by optics Been a bit poorly for the last few days, thought I was coming down with flu at first, but it’s tonsillitis. This used to recur once or twice a year but I haven’t had it for a few years. I feel terrible, and unusually sorry for myself. My throat is sore, my head pounding, I ache all...
