Weekend seems to come around very quickly these days and then to flash by quickly as well. Saturday dawned warm and sunny and so, as anticipated, it was spent in the garden doing several odd jobs that needed my attention. Although i was able to slip into a pair of old white lace boy-leg panties and an equally old bra (because i did not want to get any of my nicer and newer underwear sweaty or risk damaging it), that was it as far as giving license to my femininity went today. i cleaned the pool pump and chlorinator, the pool itself, took down some old lighting to prepare the way for some new lighting around the pool area, and also went and did the weeks grocery shopping. My wife is really not well. She has a terrible cough and was not up to doing the weekly shop so it was left to me, something i really don’t mind. i actually enjoy shopping, especially together with Her. i am happy to say that relations today were much warmer than the last two days. She seems to have got over catching me “en femme” earlier in the week and is now responding to my attention to Her needs.
Saturday evening, we were both due to go to the theatre to see the Western Australia Opera production of Puccini’s “Girl of the Golden West” (La Fanicula del West) but my wife cried off. She is not a lover of opera at the best of times and accompanies me on sufferance. This time though She was really not well enough to come along and so i went alone. i love the opera and not just for the music. i especially like to look at the ladies and see what they are wearing, usually with envy. So many look so elegant, dressed especially for the occasion. One day, i shall go to the opera “en femme” and do likewise (a long term secret ambition of mine!). It can only ever happen in Perth while my wife is out of town for only then can i remove my beard with any degree of comfort. There might be opportunities sometimes while i am traveling but i will most definitely do it before i die, one way or another!
The story of Minnie, “The Girl from the Golden West” portrays Her as a tough lady who becomes both a mother figure and goddess to the patrons of her saloon – all miners in the era of the gold rush on California’s Mother Lode. She certainly was the dominant person in the mine camp and was probably a true reflection of the type of woman who took part in those heady gold rush days. They would have to have been tough and able to handle men in an environment where the men themselves were tough but yet vulnerable and in need of a woman’s control to keep their perspective.
Sunday was a quiet day at home apart from a couple of hours during which i went alone to mass and then on to the farmers market to buy the weekly fruit and vegetables. My wife, still not feeling good, decided to remain at home. i relaxed with her, watching movies on TV and i prepared the Sunday roast. i do usually help with the cooking but today i did the lot and it turned out very well indeed. i just wish that my wife would insist that i do it all of the time! Sunday best underwear today, clean, sexy white lace bra and panties!
