I've had a request today (No names, no pack drill,) to exclude the long Character list at the beginning of each chapter of 'Angry Mermaid' and instead to simply post the said list as a side order in

Had an interesting experience today.

My beloved father in law died this morning between 0630 and 0700 Sat Feb 23rd, peacefully in his sleep, in his own bed and with his family around him.

I have just read Suzie's comment about 'The Gender Spectrum' and it is just so apt!

I tried to kick over the traces on Fictionmania where I used to post stories since 2001. I have forgotten my old passwords and even my old user name.

I titled this blog under travel because there is no title listed as 'Incidents' Anyway ...

I don't think anybody can understand what it's like to be accused of child abuse unless they have been accused or been very close to somebody who's been accused.

We got suspended for a week tonight cos it got a bit wild. The club suspended us for a week so we cannot go back until next Saturday, mind you none of us will be out until next Saturday anyway.

Now let's not beat about the bush!

Last Sunday I went out with the 'big-boys' for the usual Sunday morning club ride.

Well.

I've finally got my novel Mindful into print. Anybody interested in reading it can look on the Amazon Book Store and type in Mindful or Beverly Taff. It's also available in dead tree mode by Strategic Books.

Just to keep readers informed.I haven't lost my muse. I'm adopting a new tactic, namely write the whole story then break it down into chapters (or whatever,) and post it once nightly until the story's finished.

Busy writing 'Wheels and Wings' at the mo. Dunno when I'll finish it though.

Well, we were out last night clubbing Thursday 24th and I had a philanthopic interlude just like Ang's experiences with Sam.

Five of use were enjoying ourselves and going 'Over the top a bit. As seen below. (The famous five.)

Had a bit of terrible news last night. One of my friends has commited suicide in Penarth, near Cardiff, Wales, UK.

Her body was found in Cosmeston lake and it it suspected she's taken an overdose before throwing herself in.
Aerie was a manic depressive who had tried 3 times before to end it all. It seemed none of us could help her shed the burdens she carried.

Rest in peace Aerie. I'll so, so-oo miss you!

A beautiful, beautiful friend!!!

Well. That's the end of 'The Ram'

Some have said the end seemed a bit rushed and a bit cruel. I feel I must in part agree with them. Not all stories can have happy endings and death comes to us all sooner ... or later.

I was getting slightly jealous of Daphne and wondering where to take her. This ending exorcises any lingering problems I had.

If anybody ever tells you that Electro-convulsive shock therapy is not painful go to this site.

I endured this sort of stuff from 1952 to 1958. It hurts! It hurts like hell and it is abuse not therapy. They might as well just have beaten me with sticks.

No requittal. No f-----g requittal!!!

For those of us who were abused as children because of our various gender variances and/or sexuality differences. This just a note to demonstrate that paedophilia and other related crimes enjoy a healthy protection within the Scottish legal system.

If anybody is interested just visit this site.

It seems that the lady Elish Angioloni has a lot of explaining to do.

Beverly,

Here's another site about a mother who 'escaped to survive'!!!

After reading Angie's last chapter about Jacquie's obscene maltreatment in care I feel this website might make interesting reading for any who think it's unrealistic and that this level of abuse is improbable..

Believe me, this is exactly the sort of stuff that went on in my time and is still going on today!!!

If you don't believe me, read this.

Sorry about the web site typo.

Just got up and back to my puter. So happy new year everybody. (Yeah, I know it's pretty late but hey! I didn't get in til' eight.)

Love and hugs to everybody!

XZXX.

Just thought this might bring a smile to your faces.

Click on.

So there I was, Sunday morning club rides and I'm turned up in the normal Welsh drizzle expecting a nice 28 mile amble with the group fours; only to find no other group fours or even group threes had turned up. I'm debating taking off on my own and enjoying a nice pleasurable ride at my own pace all nice and regular like but oooooh nooo!

"No Bev", says Les the club secretary, "come on out with the group twos, we'll take it easy for you."

"Yeah!!!!!" Says I as I look pointedly up into the rain sodden clouds and the 'unsolvable porcine equasions of flight' refuse to leave my head.

I was playing one day at my laptop, Lonely and ill at ease, My fingers wandering idly, over the plastic keys. I struck one chord of wierdness that sounded the great amen!

Just transferred chapter 1 of Mares Talers over from FM.

I'm carrying on with Mermaid but frankly there are virtually no comments these days so I'm winding it up after a few more brief chapters. Frankly, I think I'm getting a bit stale and this is reflected in the paucity of comments. I'm also running short of ideas after 197 story chapters on FM plus whatever here on BC.

Byee.

Bev.

Only one comment for 'Mermaid'.

Ah well. It must be getting stale or boring or both.

I might as well wind it up.

I just thought that readers might be interested in this article in the Daily mail; a paper not usually noted for liberal compassionate views.

Ahh.
Back home and recovering from a brilliant weekend. Well Quite a long weekend actually.

Nothing serious but it had to happen didn't it.

Friday 29th May 2011; that evening 1830 out dressed in my van with Mandy Mae my best friend. That's how I was dressed.

I've concluded that my chapters of Angry mermaid might be too long for some and that's why they get bored before the chapters are concluded.
I've been a little bit disappointed by the lack of comments recently and I suspect many readers just switch off before they've finished the chapter.
I'm therefore going to try a new tactic by shortening the chapters to about 25 kb instead of the normal 50-ish.

After Chapter 25 the chapters will run about roughly 25 to 30 kb's.

Just have to wait and see if people prefer it that way.

Bev.

Wow.

Friday afternoon, I went out dressed in the daylight for the first time in my local town. No, I didn't pass, I never expected to but at least I could stroll around the shops and check out all the clothes without appearing perverted or sinister.
New Look, Next, Brantano, TK Max, Boots then on to Cardiff prior to our dinner out.
Yes people did look, and several did whisper but most just smiled and went about their own occasions.
I was out with my best friend, another Transvestite girl who goes everywhere with me.

Well I got curious after Steph (Cyclist) mentioned the Gogiati test in one of her replies so I googled it and took the test.

I scored -50 That is Androgyne 3 and that is eeerily close to my mind set at the moment.
It recommends that I don't go for anything radical and indeed I never had any intentions of doing so. I am happy with my little boy bits and never felt the need to go 'whole hog' for SRS.
