Jingle all the way!

It's not cheap if one wishes to be a woman. Besides the cosmetics, the price of feminine attire and that isn't counting the foundations. Priced any bras lately?

well, the biggest day in the Christian calendar is only a month away!

You can of course join Patreon and get all my updates at any time, simply go to my Patreon page

After months of reaerch and i have to admit, prevarication, today i've made a good start on the new Trixibell Heartswoon 'adventure'! The working title is a bit of a mouthful, A Leipzig Ring des Nibelungen which may be changed by the time i publish! It's set, as you might guess, against a background of a Gothic adventure to Leipzig. I will publish each part to Patreon as its completed so if you've been kind enough to support me through that portal, head over there now to read part one!

As usual in the UK, the authorities, to avoid upsetting business, once more have us 'celebrating' a National day not on the day itself but on the following weekend, today then, the National mourning for those lost and injured in military conflict kicked off at 11.00am this morning. I always try to observe the 2 minute silence, its not always possible but this year a pause in the day's DIY efforts was enoiugh to take part and to see those in power doing their symbolic wreath laying at the Cenotaph in central London.

Well it's late evening here as I travel through the south Midlands back towards Bevs gaff for the second time in under a week!. This time however it's with the knwledge that the 'emergency' responsible for all the moving and travelling has finally been put to bed, the storage unit cleared and rubbish removed.

Life can, as far as it goes, return to normal for Madeline Anafrid which means that on Sunday I will be posting as normal and normal patterns will resume until late December.

Well that's it for now, time to catch 40 winks before I get back to Brunelville!

1:- Young Man, between high-school and College age?, goes on walkabout (for want of a better word).
can't remember if the young man is White American or Chinese\Japanese American, as he has studied under an eastern master most of his life so this could be the eastern connection.
He is a martial artist, can't remember if he'd had mystical background, but I think that his master suggested his walkabout.
Visits "Bikini Beach"

Can't remember if it was a single multipart incomplete story or a complete multipart story with an incomplete second story.

Pray I'm not making anyone disgusted. If one thinks I'm a bitch, I'm okay with that. Yes I made the VA twice this week, Tuesday and Thursday. Wore the same rust colored shirtwaist dress both times with an all weather tan overcoat as the weather was in the forties. The gentlemen at the information center were a whole lot of fun Tuesday as I lightly flirted with them while asking directions to different medical teams. They were both laughing and passing back the sass each time I passed by. Tuesday was donate blood to the VA Vampires and dermatology.

There was a beginning

There won't be a proper post today or perhaps even Sunday for which I apologise. For why? Well you will recall the news about the lock up where most of my worldly goods are stored? Just to recap, we have been given a week to quit so it's a case of finding an alternative and moving everything by next Monday or lose it.

Before I go further, thank you to everyone who has sent me support, whether words or more tangible, it really is appreciated.

A quickie for you

Having just reread Susan Brown's "ORPHAN", I was reminded of another story, in which tennis is a part.

If memory serves, the MC begins a new school, I think all goes well until after the Christmas break, when the weather begins to get warmer, the sports curriculum changes and one of the sports that is played in spring is Tennis.

I am 99.9% certain that this story was a single post (SOLO), and that it is an older story

and this story is different as the MC is a diary

Mother finds her child's diary, after child's death, and reads last few entrys

mother adds last entry to the diary, while the diary is asking 'What are you doing?'

I do remember that there is an image in this story, it is of a yellow Post-It Note™®, although I can't remember what was written on it

Claude Cahun was featured in a recent Google doodle:
https://www.google.com/doodles/claude-cahuns-127th-birthday

"French author and surrealist photographer Claude Cahun—best-known for their purposefully unsettling yet playful self-portrait photography that challenged the gender and sexuality norms of the early 20th century..."
...
"Cahun’s work has influenced gender bending celebrities, the modern LGBTQ+ community, and conversations on identity and expression to this day."

with the week so far!
