Feb 24th

I can't believe it is nearly three weeks since my birthday and the last blog entry. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun? Not that its been three weeks of fun BUT it has been wonderful to remain clean shaven over my whole body, not just my face. As I said last time, the gift my wife gave me by accepting that I shave, has been one of the best gifts ever ! Can you believe it ? I just love the feel of smooth arms and legs and enjoy it when I wake up, when I shower or swim in the pool - and indeed all day long.
However, the best part of the last three weeks has been during the last few days when I was all alone in the house for a full 5 days and nights as my wife went away to stay with our daughter and her new husband. She had an enjoyable time, sight-seeing and being with her beloved daughter, (despite still not being happy about her new son-in-law). As a result, I felt no guilt in going all out to be Sarah as much as possible while she was away.
We have, over the years, spent much longer periods apart which has given me ample opportunity to indulge my fantasies. However, when there is a short break like this, in the middle of a long dressing drought, the senses are sharpened and the whole period takes on a new meaning and intensity.
On Thurs 17th, I drove her to the airport in the afternoon and so already had Thursday evening to begin "transforming" - including bright red nail varnish I had bought on the way home from the airport. Waking up on Friday with painted finger and toenails was a thrill and most of Friday was spent dressed. I even went out shopping "en femme" to try and buy some new clothes. However, I couldn't find anything I really wanted so came back empty-handed. I did however try on some clothes in a department store and would have bought one of the dresses had it fitted. Unfortunately, like so many of us, I had an over-optimistic idea of my size and although I could get the size 10 on, it was rather too tight and didn't look fantastic. (There wasn't a size 12 available). It was also rather a shock to see myself in profile in the changing room mirrors - not such a pretty sight and I don't want to think about that!
Saturday was a bit of break from dressing as I normally play tennis in the afternoon - in male mode of course since nobody knows about my obsession. This entailed removing all signs of Sarah - including the nail colouring. However, in the evening, I re-applied it in preparation for Sunday which was to be a special day. Sure enough, it dawned bright, warm and sunny and I put my plan for a video of bikini changes into action

You can see the video if you go to my Flickr page. It was huge fun to make and quite scary since there was a real possibility that my neighbour or one of his family might appear suddenly in the garden and see what was going on at my poolside. I think I must like living dangerously because just as I was about to begin filming, I spotted my neighbours daughter in that very part of the garden where she would have seen me. She didn't see me and I ducked back inside and waited till the coast was clear before starting the series of shots in various bikinis. She could have come out again at any moment - but didn't !!
After lunch, I put on my favourite dress and went to the movies alone

I felt quite confident in my appearance and that I passed - but of course, sitting in a dark cinema doesn't present much of a risk, does it ?
I chose "The Black Swan" as my tranny-outing movie and it was quite appropriate, having lots of images of pretty girls in ballerina outfits - not to mention a steamy-hot lesbian scene !! The ending was disappointing but I won't spoil it for you in case you go and see it.
Monday was again mostly a day off because I had various commitments which involved me with other people and activities but on Tuesday, I decided to have a last fling before I had to collect my wife from the airport in the evening. I didn't paint my nails again but I did resurrect some clothes from my stash that I had forgotten about and, after splashing myself with my favourite perfume, I was sufficeintly hyped-up to go shopping again feeling SO GOOD in that outfit

Although I was only shopping for food, it was exciting because I went to my local shops where I go in male mode nearly every day - and nobody gave me any funny looks - I fooled them all. Such a blast !!
