A bit self-conscious?

 Thanks for the encouraging remarks on my look last weekend. And the smooth skin feels good, as it always does. Maintenance takes time but this is the trans life and we put the effort in.  

Beauty emerges from the prickles

 

I have a few more summery items in my wardrobe, some of which are new and some haven't been worn for years. I shall doll up properly over the summer. 

I do feel a bit self-conscious when swimming: am I completely trim or have I missed a bit? My breasts are on display and this is not a topless beach! Maybe they just think I'm fat, which I admit I am but these are not 'man boobs'. ....Thoughts like these intrude. 

With regard to weight, I have lost over five pounds (2.5 kg) these last couple of weeks, so that's good. A lot of lettuce has been eaten!

Healthwise, I've not been so well this week with a bit of a virus or something that kept me in bed for some of Tuesday/Wednesday but I seem reasonably OK now and had a good swim this afternoon. 

The weather's been perfect: warm and bright but not oppressive, with a nice breeze.

 

Gallery

I thought the picture gallery (tab at the top) needed an update since the last photo was from 2020. 

I've also added a link to the music, Left Bank Two by the Noveltones, that was played during the Gallery section on British TV's kids' art show Vision On and subsequent tributes. Some of us can't see galleries of pictures without this playing in our heads. Yes, TV does corrupt the young!

(For more on this fantastic show, with Sylvester McCoy in a frock, see the second half of this post from exactly two years ago: Heat - a hot topic.)
