Posted Jul 25, 2012
The Vespa which is under wraps 'til next year, I called Holly and compared her to a butterfly. Voila her familiar visited earlier..Same shade of blue. Weird.

A brother becomes a sister...
Posted Jul 5, 2012
My life gets stranger.
Just got a message from my very good mate Pete signed Maggie that he has his appointment at the gender re-assignment clinic and will start electrolysis treatment immediately. She's incredibly happy.
A few months ago he told me that he finally faced up to wanting to be a woman...wasn't sure how far to take it. He started sending me pictures of himself as a woman...Then all the palavar happened to me...he visited me a lot. Dressed always as Pete..rock musician from Glasgow...rough tough with a heart of gold. I love him.
Yesterday I repeatedly rang and texted. No reply. Obviously I was worried. (He's had a hell of a life..abused as a kid...alcoholic lived the whole rock and roll lifestyle to the limit. Very talented and intelligent but so down to earth..always said how much he 'loves' women..not just sexually but WOMAN. He hasn't drunk in years now but has cirhosis and and that viral thing. He's a walking miracle.
She's hiding in his flat but happy. When she's ready we'll meet. I'm excited but nervous. Still can't quite take it in.
He's very anarchist and radical...and angry. He has always expresed and chanelled that in his music. I wonder if she will be, or like that but different or the same?
Wow.

Heady fresias
Posted Jun 28, 2012
Have been a bit under the weather of late but feeling better but, taking it all slow slow slow and rest.
Beautiful day at last...warm, humid with gentle breeze. The weather suits my present needs.
Took walk earlier up to fishmongers and got prawns and cockles, then deli for orange sorbet...down to butchers for new season lamb chops for sunday...will have with new potatoes. I finally can eat again and have to put on weight...so I'm not holding back.
Collapsed back in flat and gulped delicious cold orange juice. Oh yeah and I stopped earlier at flower shop and treated myself to some wonderful creamy yellow fresias. The kitchen is now heady with their scent.
Stripey appeared, off to the bedroom and stretched out for a long snooze on the duvet. She'd been banned in late winter for coming in in the middle of the night and dispatching fur balls...then birds were nesting...but she's back again now as happy as ever...as if she'd never been away. Still have no idea where her main home is.
Wimbledon on low....it's summer and today I feel happy.
Stripey and fresias:-

Snork...with a spring in my step.
Posted Apr 30, 2012
I'm not one to beat about the bush with regards reality, (despite getting a tad spiritual of late..some call that denial ).
But hey the first day of spring after weeks of cold and rain..(I missed the so called summer in winter..as I was in hospital, fencing with grim reaper)..and it is poignant.
And I managed to spend the morning in the House of Death. Well that's my OTT name for it. Lots of people look like skeletons..another lot well over weight. I'm feeling full of life and decidedly alienated. The place has a pall.
A mass of info is given and more bloody scans and an EEG. My heart is tip top they tell me. I could have told them that.
6 months of misery will begin on Thursday..and I'm not supposed to fight the tiredness. I am advised to wear oven gloves to get things out the fridge. Cold will cause pain. Stay out the sun as much as possible..and don't forget to wrap the PICC line inserted in cling film..getting it wet is dangerous..Various phone numbers are given for emergencies.
It simply isn't me..all this..but apparently it is.
It'll be 5 hours stuck in that place on Thursday whilst they drip strong poison into me...then tablets everyday to go with the tablets I take to keep the madnes at bay 
The PICC line goes through the vein and finishes above the heart 
Poisoned heart?
I'm practising my gallows humour but I've a heart full of anger about it all. Rage..oh yes.
Some wild flowers in the garden. Spring is sprung.

Freddie (Frodo)
Posted Apr 24, 2012
My friend who recently returned from Hong Kong came round for coffee. She brought her dog also returned from Hong Kong. Some sort of Tibetan spaniel. Talk about cute.
He's called Freddie, but she's thinking to re-name him Frodo.
http://bit.ly/I6tB4s
I'm so pleased she's back in my life...a good steadying influence..and we'll take Frodo out for walks.
