Ready To Go

Well the rucksack is almsot packed and I am quite excited. Two full days being the girl and being out and about. It was a battle, started at about 11ish and had trouble finding the boots and other bits of kit. I was surprised how much I do have and how much could stand a few more pics! Been emailing a couple and with a bit of luck will be able to get some pics taken and a meet at Canal street. It is possible this will be the first dressing this year which sounds a bit scary. May well end up taking the big camera, be good to do the John Rylands library and the whale skeleton. I am sure there is a lot of great things to do in Manchester but for some reason it does not excite me as much as Liverpool. Again been there, done that but it works. The Palm house is a possibility but it takes too long really. Still it would be nice to finally get in there. Preston I have paid the tickets for but may well end up giving it a miss if do not feel up to it. Still its nice to be positive and there will be nice things..

Fast Evolution

The gurl is nearly 10, I used to think it might just be a passing thing but clearly it is not. Looked at the Flockr stream today and it is surprising how far developedment took in such a small space of time. In the first 3 years there was The Boudoir, the LSE holiday and quite a lot of pics being taken. There was a real kick out of the dressing then which I do n ot get now. Now it is a need I suppose. Going out in public say Transister was 2009 though going out in daylight was later say 2011. All the easy stuff had been done and it was time for moonshots; going to Liverpool and going to London dressed. Done and dusted. The last couple of years have seen holidays doing it for real but much less dressing at home. Do miss the Support Group.

Plumped For Manchester

Well Spring 2017 is go. Today not busy at work and started Googling Premeir Inn's again. Saw last few remaining rooms so went for it. Down wednesday and back saturday, cost of rooms and breakfast£230. Went for the Premier Inn nearest Canal street, will give it another go. Say 1 day at Manchester and 1 day at Liverpool. Would have liked another day but too expensive. £65 for railtickets, first class as feel another £20 on the price is worth it for a better experience. So £300 so far. Expect another £200 so £500  all in. The girl needs it really, the money is there so comfortable with it.  So there will be bath bombs, pasta in my room, taking flap jacks, some very close shaving. Do want a day in Liverpool but Manchester is not a done deal. Couple of years ago had 3 days and went to Preston, worth doing but tired of it too early.
There is the possibility of seeing the couple at Bolton, possibly but not guaranteed. Will think about that. Need to sortout the coat! Fel better just thinking about it. Ideally would hav e waited till the end of term as days warmer and longer but thats a small thing really.

Ring, Ring, Ring

Last week tidied up the cabinet the large BCR opening plier fell down. Noticed in the last few days that the white tissue at the piercing was very thin and today went for it and attempted, again, again, to up the P.A. piercing to 5 mm. The original plan had me getting to 5 mm over 1 and a half years ago. Going to 3.2 mm was not too bad but took nearly a year, going to 4 mm required aspirin to kill the white tissue. May be keloid material posibly bbut it was preventing the hole stretching to allow the larger ring through. Today with the aid of a taper and vaseline it took 20 mins, in the past tried folrlonger with no effect. Will let it recover and then decide about whether to go for 6 mm. 5 mm looks a good size and is quite heavy.
There could hav ebeen dressing but there was not today. Lets blame the thyroid. Have now got the goahead for Spring 2017 so now need to make final decision over where to go! Probably Manchester which does work tough Leeds might work. Have not ruled out Brighton but thats not especially likely.
