New Shoes (Sept' Trip 2011)

Friday

 I met up with Diana and we went for a walk on along the canal. I love exploring and Manchester is a very interesting city and you never know what you are going to come across. At one point for some reason we ended up in a underground car park and nearly got lost.

Above are some pictures from our trip along the canal.

We decided to take a walk back into the city centre. I did something unusual for me. I bought a pair of ankle boots and two pairs of shoes. When I'm out I am lucky if I find one pair of shoes that I like and actually fit.

In the evening we had a quiet night out. The Village was not that busy for a Friday.

I had two days left, but Diana would be returning home in the morning. As usual time was passing to quick. 

Saturday

I met Diana for breakfast in the Retro Bar before she went home. As we were eating Emma turned up. It was good to see her as she would be soon leaving for a warmer climate for a few months.

We said goodbye to Diana and I took Emma up to Afflecks Market. I wanted to go to the Crystal Emporium stall and see what new stuff was in.

With my beliefs I love visiting it and the owner is a lovely man and we always have a good chat.

We visited a couple of other places. Emma decided she had to get back to The Village so I went into the Arndale Centre where I got some loud comments I guess that were meant to embarrass me.

I know I'll never pass, but at least I was on my own. At six foot and with my build I am in no way feminine, just a bloke in a dress. Strange thing is I very rarely wear a dress. I never  want to embarrass anyone else. I don't post on any T Forums anymore. Other girls blogs I'll read but I am now reluctant to comment. I am not the most confident person in the world and at times I wonder what I am doing. I can't be who I want to be.

I am really thankful for the friends I have they never judge and have helped me get over some big obstacles. I sincerely hope that I continue to be able to see them.

In the evening I met up with Emma again and there were quite a few other girls out for her last night out in The Village.

It was wonderful to  see Kate and Kitty again plus Mandy and Tina. We had a great night out which ended with some dancing in Naps.

Sunday

My last day out of what had been a wonderful time out. I wonder with the way things are going how many more times I can go to Manchester and catch those brief times when I can be myself. I have my next outing planned, but for now I'll leave with a final picture outside Eden taken before I set of for my hotel and a sleep before I would set off for home the next morning.

The sign in the picture below says it all.

Love and Light
