• De-motivated!

  by Rachel de Blanc December 6, 2008
  Gosh, I was once a Lady-in-Waiting and now I’m Just-a-Girl again. What did I do (or not do) to deserve that I wonder? Memo to self. Must try softer….

• Coat Hanger

  by Rachel de Blanc December 2, 2008
  I’m so much in the closet that I think I risk becoming a coat hanger. Perhaps this is why I am feeling so hung-up? To my embarrassment I have never held a physical conversation with a transgendered person, never offered them support, I have never had the opportunity to explain to them that I ma...

• Knickers in a twist

  by Rachel de Blanc November 11, 2008
  I’m having one of those days / 24 hours when I wish that I wasn’t. Let’s see whether I am able to construct anything to say without resorting to swearing.. I can’t. You’re saved.

• A lady with a red dress

  by Rachel de Blanc November 7, 2008
  My Victorian sash windows are rattling as a police helicopter hovers overhead and the cheap red wine is softening the edge of my skull so that my brain is losing firmness like a jelly on a warm summer’s day. An evening in but the computer’s cold light provides a little warmth because Tweb flickers b...

• Time well spent?

  by Rachel de Blanc November 3, 2008
  On Saturday I was able to enjoy some femme time, dressed (down) and doing nothing in particular, the odd chore, reading the paper, etc, just being normal really. But of course it was a snatched three hours stolen from normal life, but the theft was valuable, uplifting and energising. I visited TWeb ...

• Pretty Vacant

  by Rachel de Blanc October 3, 2008
  Next week I’m on holiday – Yippee. I’m glad to say I survived my extreme sports day earlier in the week and next week is set to be extremely relaxing. So I’ve only been able to visit TWeb belatedly at the end of the week, and it seems like – yet again, things have been kicking off, and I’m not re...

• Miss-appropriation

  by Rachel de Blanc September 27, 2008
  It’s a shame when familiar faces announce that they are departing, but the need to renew and change is part of life, so I do not condemn but just feel a bit sad for a while. If you are unable to physically give someone a hug and wish them well, then attempting to express the same feelings via a w...

• Maturing, nicely

  by Rachel de Blanc September 23, 2008
  My wife is marginally older than me and is sadly no longer young but certainly not old. She takes great care to moisturise and has good skin, but she is beginning to look more ‘mature’ but is still attractive. Observing her closely, I recognise that women must be placed under significant pressure to...

• Inquisitivemess

  by Rachel de Blanc September 22, 2008
  I suppose that a natural inquisitiveness, being nosey, frequently having a desire to offer comments, to wastefully gossip etc, could be both irritating and be traits commonly associated with women? If so, is that why I’m naturally inquisitive, slightly nosey, often wish to offer my two-pennyworth an...

• The Story Behind the Headlines

  by Rachel de Blanc September 13, 2008
  It’s sooooooooo irritating (not really) when you click on a thread topic and then discover that only certain members are allowed to enter into the fray. So irritating because the topics always look so intriguing. So please, come on girls, at least make an effort to make it sound boring, then we won’...
