Moist and Cheezy

 That was the name of our pub quiz team at the Wakefield trans support group on Thursday. It had been starting to warm up, so it was a little moist.

 I was in a bit of a rush to get ready, so I went about as natural as I have ever done. Used orange concealer, then foundation, mascara , and eyebrows only. I think I might have to order some more foundation soon - but ideally need to go get colour matched - perhaps at Leeds John Lewis.

I wore my hoops for the first time !!!!!!  it was fun to flop my head around and feel them there - Lynn had mentioned this when we were speaking a while back. Quite noticeable when driving and swinging head around quickly. Anyway definitely a fan , I think I will get some massive ones soon :)

Everyone was outside in the courtyard when I arrived, the group separated to allow me to sit on one side. After a bit I saw an opportunity to move around to the other side and possibly put someone's nose out of joint by stealing their chair. It is the partner of the group leader, I can't really tell if she was joking or really upset, it was  a bit odd.

Anyway I managed to sit next to an older lady who I had been getting on quite well with at previous - she must be in her late 50's perhaps. The group as a whole is very young, and it's a bit odd being at the older end of the age range.  Turns out she may only have a few years left - bladder tumour. Such a shame, seems like she has a lot of stories to tell, has led (and still does) an interesting life. Won't be seeing her for a month perhaps due to her holidays.

Ended up sitting with her, and a young couple - CIS female with a trans mtf partner who are really fun. Had a good quiz, we won (£20 between the four of us) - only losing out on a few questions. We did higher-lower to try and win a big prize of £60,  I was put in charge of guessing, we got to the 2nd row, but I guessed low on an 8, and it was a queen.

I got to the last 4 in the killer pool , it was played at the end of the night rather than the beginning to mix it up a bit.

The one that had been critical of LFF was not there this time, not sure if she's still attending.

The lady who I had been getting on well with gave me hug before she left, 

I've still not managed to have a chat with the group leader.

I stayed pretty late, past last orders, it was a bit hard to find a gap to leave, they were all talking about McDonalds kitchen injuries !

  1. Sounds like you are developing quite the network there, my lady, and have made some firm friends. Also, let's be honest, you look good most of the time - I can't find a fault with your make-up game in the photo - and yay for hoops!

    I hope you do get to John Lewis in Leeds, I think you'll get a lot from the experience!!
