Mad March And Earlier Happenings

 




This is really a blog about the first quarter of the year,  to update the last post with the happenings of March, but also to include some things from earlier in the year, that I forgot to mention. 

For example I forgot to mention something amazing. I saw the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis appeared for a couple of nights back in late January and I managed to snap this photo on my phone camera. 



Aurora Borealis 

What an amazing sight, especially down in the far South West of the UK. This photo was snapped over the fence in my back garden. And to think that 11 years ago, I traipsed all the way to Iceland to try and see them and saw nothing. 
And here they are in my back garden. It really was wonderful to see them.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that I'm back on Facebook. Which is something that I have very mixed feelings about. I don't like Meta at all. I think they are a company that allows and in some ways itself abuses people for profit. I find it a necessary evil in my life. My reasons for returning to Facebook was simply, that the Beaumont Society is ending it's charity status and being a membership based organisation, and moving to being a free to join social group. And their main points of online interaction are going to be through their Facebook group which already exists and a Discord chat room. So to stay in contact with the group,  I have rejoined Facebook after a two year absence. I forgot how annoying Facebook has become in the last few years. But the positive is staying in touch with the Beaumont Society and reconnecting with old friends. It's especially nice to be in touch with Roz White and Kylie Hope again. However I had a problem with my account being suspended for absolutely no reason, which I had to appeal. Facebook definitely hasn't improved.


March has been filled with many medical appointments for my Wife along with her 60th birthday and our wedding anniversary. Also we have had a lot going on with getting assessments and surveys done for the fitting of hoists in the property. Once that is done, we can try and get a respite care package in place  which will allow me to have some time away from caring, and I'm hoping that a good proportion of that personal time will be spent en femme. But at the moment everything is in a state of flux, so I decided to not dress in March. That means that the first quarter of the year will have drawn to a close, with just one session dressed, back at the beginning of February. But I'm ok with that,  because I'm going to hopefully maximise my opportunities going forward. And hopefully that will start in April. Having had such little dressing time so far this year, really reinforces how much I need to dress.

The first quarter of the year, has been very difficult with a few health problems,  both physical and mental, but I'm moving into a much more positive time in my life, and looking forward to it being a better time for myself. I'm going to concentrate on my fitness and losing weight after Easter. My aim is to try and lose a stone by the end of the quarter, so 6kg lost by the end of June. I'm going to give it a good go.

I'm definitely going to dress later this month,  hopefully more than once, so hopefully I will have some new photos to show off soon. 

I did have some fun with AI to create a pop art image of myself, which you can see at the top of this post 

As to the blog, I have a few ideas of things to post, so watch this space.

  1. Exciting to see the aurora so far south. I recall seeing it in Devon 40 years ago! So not very often!

    I think with dressing opportunities, rather than making plans to get X amount of dressy time, you should just go with the flow of disruptions and pop a frock on when things suddenly go quiet. As some sage said, life is what happens when you've made other plans.

    Hope spring is on its way and you do get some frock time.

  April has been a really busy month with just one very short dressing opportunity. It's been a month of laying down foundations upon wh...
