Subscribe ... and win a kettle!

 Every day for months I have been receiving emails purporting to come from Currys PC World telling me that I've won an electric Smeg kettle. Doubtless some scam but the persistence is puzzling me. I can't say the prospect of owning an electric kettle is a big enough incentive for me to open any of these emails and they all get deleted. Maybe the Smeg brand is an enticement to those in the know. Where I come from, though, Smeghead was a favourite term in the long-running sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf, and it was never used as a compliment. So the emailers still haven't attracted me. You however, dear reader, can subscribe to my blog for free ... and I will forward one of these emails to you and you can enjoy the kettle!

Don't worry, I wouldn't be so mean. I would instead like to thank the folk at Feedspot for continuing to feature this blog among their Top Transwomen Blogs and Top Transgender Blogs. Feedspot is a good resource and features most of the blogs on my blogroll (right) as well as many others, including trans organisations and news sources such as LGBT pages of reputable newspapers and the queer press. Click on the rosette (top right) for Feedspot's latest list. 

I've added a new blog to my blogroll, Franziska out and about. Franziska is a pretty crossdresser from Frankfurt, Germany, who enjoys her days out en femme. I've enjoyed reading about her travels and her photos are lovely. Thanks for sharing your adventures, Franziska.

Stay well

Two of my best trans friends are very sick and I am upset.

Kate who does so much for girls in the Manchester area starts her stem cell therapy for her cancer today. It's a gruelling procedure and I hope it will help her, poor thing.

Roz, who came to stay just a few weeks ago is in hospital taking a cocktail of drugs against one of the many bugs that are going round. Roz is almost never sick so this is serious. Get well soon, lovely.

I wish my readers good health this winter. I know we are all trying to save on energy costs but don't get cold when there are this many viruses about. Don't forget to layer clothes for improved warmth out  or when not moving much, and this is where women's clothing comes into its own: I wear an extra cami and a pair of tights or leggings under my other clothes much of the time in winter. I am still wearing FFP2 anti-Covid masks in closed spaces even though it's no longer the law. They protect against Covid but are even better against flu and cold germs. And try not to get too stressed with Christmas shopping, finishing the workload before the holidays, or getting to all those parties - I find it's the stress that runs you down and makes you susceptible to winter bugs more than the season itself.

Ultimate protection against everything December can throw at us! (Costumes at La Scala opera house for the Chinese emperor and two bodyguards for Puccini's Turandot.)

 

Anyway, that's enough from Nurse Sue. I'm off to top up my vitamin C!
