Read this on Pixable, and several of these in particular hit very close to home for me.

I just finished a book called "Figment" by Marco Guarda. It's a pretty fair piece of science fiction in its own right. Icing on the cake for me was mild TG element. Not so much cross-dressing, per se as feminine emotional reactions and actions as a result on implanted woman's memories. Good book.

I have lost a tale. Or a tail. Either I am more confused than I thought I was, or I make up fantastic stories during the rest of my 3 - 4 hours of sleep left me after enduring the regular nightmares I have to put up with every night, These nightmares are things that were caused by my being at age two caught up in a horrible war - we lived then in the east end of London, and before we were evacuated because the house we lived in had a bomb fall on it and it fell to bits and I had to be dug free from the wreckage.

There was a Proposition on the Houston City Ballots today. It was called Proposition 1. It was a Equal Rights Ordinance. It basically would have made discriminations of any type. for Ethnicity, Age, Gender, Sexuality, Gender Identity, Genetics, etc...

The thing that really got to me is that they played those same your little girls will not be safe from Male Pedophiles in the bathroom TV Adds.

Okay, I'm going to be retired ( if I finally receive the paperwork ... ), so what am I going to do with the rest of my life??

As long as I have the pets, ..., well not mutch. Same with the house and the renovations.

So I go 2 track. One I find a job in the private sector that pays enough to keep the house and finish all the renovation. Then I''ll stay put overhere for probably the rest of my life.

which means that there are over seventy chapters between here and my writing now!

Enjoy another flirt with the peloton in Switzerland, it gets a bit cheesy at times.

A Texas state appeals court has overturned a county court ruling that the widow of a fallen firefighter wasn't entitled to to his estate because she is trans, not GG.

Texas Appeals Court

“If I could not find a place that would allow me to be a woman I would [commit] suicide without hesitation because I will never go back to that pretense, to that vigilance, to that exhaustion of trying to keep everybody happy pretending to be something I’m not,”

Just heard it on national public radio, radio1, here in the Netherlands. This years winner of Holland's Next Top model is a transgender woman.

I just got a call this afternoon that the last of my immediate family is dying.
My sister fell out of bed in the care facility, broke her ribs and is in extreme pain. When they went to change her clothing, they found she was bleeding out internally.
Its just a matter of time now. Waiting for the Dr. to arrive and give her some potent pain meds. She is unable to swallow or talk now.

Well as promised the first part of Gaby Book 14 is now out at Lulu in dead tree http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/gaby-san-part-1/1... and ebook versions http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/gaby-san-part-1/17577718 and should be available through Amazon Kindle later this evening.

I've finished writing the first part of Gaby Book 14 and as has become habit it will be available via Kindle and Lulu from Sunday, yes the 25th of October!

Overall i'm running a little behind schedule but not so much I can't catch up! The next segment should be @ 3 weeks away so after a long wait there will be a quick succession of Gabyness for the fans, I hope it's worth waiting for!

The completed book is still due over Christmas / New Year and with a following wind I might have the next Nena out about the same time - it's 2/3rds written already.

Well, it's been a while. Not all downs but certainly not all ups but I was starting to mis this place.

Spend that year and a half doing some od jobs (intern here, personal assistant there,.. ) but HR said that the didn't see a permanent fix so I'll be retired now without any possible way to avoid it.

Well, the paperwork is on it's merry way but I couldn't stay still at home. So I'm doing a 2 year course for network technician. Doing well there (better then expected with a lot of teenagers in a class -> kind of community college).

And here I am again,

this time but the reason for delay in posting was a trip to Switzerland by yours truly last weekend! Quite fitting really and although I had a fun weekend it was nothing like Gaby's adventures!

Historic tram in Basel last Sunday!

I know I keep saying it but regular postings should resume again now, at least for a few weeks!

In other news, Book 14 part 1 will hopefully be ready next weekend so look out for the announcement.

Who ever thought that Jackie Evancho would have a connection with our world here. Her older Brother Jacob (17) is her Sister Juliet an Jackie introduce her to the world at the Global Lyme Alliance's gala ball in support of there mother Lisa who has Lyme disease.

Early this morning there was an archive edition of The Living World from 2003 broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

This one was about dormice in the county of Somerset. It focussed on finding dormice that were spending time in unexpected habitats (they actually described the dormice as camping out) away from the more expected hazel coppices. The presenter used the word cute more than once to describe the dormice (with babies) that they found.

Oldfashioned.

Has any one seen this a BBC show called Boy meets Girl. It's about a man who meets and gets on with a transgender woman who is actually played by a transgender actress.

The plot isn't that original though.

I hate your kids. And I’m not sorry. http://www.salon.com/2015/10/07/im_a_baby_hater_and_im_not_s...

It takes all kinds to make our world and each of us are uniquely one of a kind. Among the billions of people on this messed up planet each individual is one off with no duplicate. Yeah, I know, some will debate that. Moving on to the lady who hates kids. Did she think deep enough to understand she would not be here if her mother or any of the women in her heritage linage thought the same thing?

The Crystal Hall has risen from the grave and lives again

So today i wore an old 1960's era USAF rain jacket to school... And promptly had the police on me telling me to never wear the jacket to school again... The jacket is just a elongated raincoat that is a dark blue. I was told that "it looked scary and it looked like i was 'military' and that offended people." Which is BS because it isn't like it is a jacket with high capacity pockets and weapons holsters... Its a damn raincoat/wind breaker!

Thanks "the news" for making large coats into a sign that you are going to kill people.

Yes, another chapter of Swiss Cheese to munch through.

On another front I can report that Book 14 is coming along, 6 chapters complete so for the impatient the first quarter book should be ready in a fortnight - I'm away this coming week taking a party to look at some Swiss Archaeology.

Well, I've spent a week in lovely England. We spent a night in Blackpool, where I first got to know Abby 2 years ago, and then 2 nights at Hawkshead in the Lake District. I don't know if I'll ever go home. So much history combined with greenery and beauty like I've never seen. Wow!!

Recently spotted this will be on UK Channel 4 next week about transgender kids. Looks like it could be interesting. I don't know if if, or when, it might reach a wider audience.
