It’s a funny thing but wine will do it every time! Not only wine either but any alcohol! I had no work to do today which seemingly is the trend lately but no matter. I took E out to lunch/dinner that is she drove us to the restaurant. Now come on let’s be fair, she doesn’t drink these days mainly because of her medications but also partly because she doesn’t like alcohol too much! She let slip that her fuel tank was erring on the empty side so I insisted we go get some fuel. I paid for that as I did for the meal but that is beside the point. Anyhow we were discussing something during the meal and I said ‘I must write about that in my blog’. Well a glass or two of wine later and I forgot what it was! I will probably remember at eleven o’clock tonight as I am going to bed! Then I will forget all about it again. Such is life. The meal was good though. I had breaded mushrooms with a dip for starters followed by chilli-con-carne with an apple crumble and ice cream topping for dessert. E had melon to start followed by a beefsteak and apple crumble with fresh cream for dessert. The red wine on the table was almost emptied my myself but what was left I brought home. I am finishing it off right now! I had a liqueur coffee to round off the meal. I wish I could remember what it was I was going to write about. Ah well no matter………….

Yesterday I, that is we, had a visit from our eldest son and his wife. He proudly drove up in his newly acquired car. I say newly acquired because it isn’t new and has a few miles on the clock. Nearly new would be a better description but it looks as if it’s just left the showroom. The mileage is low and the car is very well-appointed with satnav and many other gadgets built-in. He needed a new vehicle because his old one was beginning to give him problems and it was costing too much to keep it going. I had ‘lent’ him £6000 towards the cost of purchase but I am not expecting that money back. I haven’t told him that though. If he can save the £6000 he will be that much better off! Anyway that was one new thing.
I just heard from a friend that she is seeking help for her gender dysphoria. I met ‘J’ years ago when I first ventured out ‘en femme’ in my pre-transition days and we have remained friends ever since. For a while she stopped ‘dressing’ and took a university degree, successfully completing the course. She has since started her own business and seems to be doing well. We meet together occasionally when she visits my house or if she has a dinner date with her member friends from the group she is involved with and invites me along. I thought years ago that her gender dysphoria would not go away but of course she had to find out for herself. So although this is news it comes as no surprise to me. I wish her the best and give my full support.
Life is full of surprises.
