• Ariane at the Etihad

  by Ariane Durand November 29, 2023
  Ariane is back in Manchester for a few days. This has to be one of my favourite places. Another first last night. Ariane went to the Etihad to watch City play. Me and 50,000 men. Lots of abuse! Directed at the team though not at me. We played very badly in the first half but turned it round in the s...

• The new normal

  by Ariane Durand November 13, 2023
  I'm having an Ariane day. I wanted to do the same as I would in boy mode. So I started off responsibly with a stack of ironing, in our front room looking out the window and hoping to see some passers by or the postwoman (I was planning to open the door to her, but sadly no post for me today). Then I...

• Lunch in Horsham

  by Ariane Durand November 9, 2023
  Today Ariane drove to Horsham, 20 miles southeast, to meet Angela whom I met online. Angela is now separated and on her own at home so is able to dress more or less full-time.    Angela knows Horsham better than me so she led us into a shopping precinct where we stopped for lunch and a chat. That ...

• Round about town

  by Ariane Durand November 2, 2023
  Ariane has the day to herself. I had arranged to meet a friend for lunch in Horsham, but these are storm conditions and we decided to wait until next week. So instead I went for a walk round my local town. I was out for about 30 minutes. It felt completely natural. I didn’t see anyone I know, and no...

• Leicester nightlife

  by Ariane Durand October 28, 2023
  Chantel McGregor is my current favourite artiste. She comes from Yorkshire, she has a big voice, and she plays a mean guitar. She sings about relationships and heartbreak, and because she's a guitarist as well as a vocalist, many of her songs morph into long instrumentals.   I have travelled acros...

• Ariane does normal

  by Ariane Durand October 25, 2023
  I love Waitrose. I do a lot of cooking and buy all my ingredients there. In fact I spend so much time in Waitrose that it feels like a second home.   So today when I decided to live a normal day as Ariane, it was natural to visit my favourite supermarket. I drove about 10 miles to the Haslemere Wa...

• If you go down to the woods today…

  by Ariane Durand October 12, 2023
  …You'd better go in disguise!   I have had some time as Ariane for four days in a row. This must be a record for me. But today was the first day that Ariane was able to leave home. I drove about 15 miles to Alice Holt Forest near Farnham. This is very popular with families at the weekend, but on a...

• Ariane in Guildford

  by Ariane Durand October 5, 2023
  Another day home alone… so I became Ariane quite early on and drove off in search of adventure. My first stop was the Surrey Pride Hub in Woking. I parked in the multi-storey and walked to the venue. Unfortunately it was (again) closed during advertised opening hours. What is it with this place? May...

• My Ukrainian friend

  by Ariane Durand October 4, 2023
  I was home alone today so Ariane came out to play. At first I was thinking, shall I drive somewhere and go for a walk in the countryside? Then I texted my Ukrainian friend Inessa to ask her how she was. It turns out she is now unemployed. The Guildford department store where she worked four days a w...

• Woking meet

  by Ariane Durand September 22, 2023
  Today Ariane drove to Woking to meet Penny B, a Tgirl that I met online. She had posted a general request asking to meet up with anyone, and as she’s near me in Surrey, I thought I’d respond.We arranged to meet at the Surrey Pride Hub in Woking. This is a welcome and recently-established one-stop se...
