Summer looks and that

This week we are looking at the more leisure side of this thing at least as it applies to me as we approach the countdown to when in times past we'd be commencing the long Summer Hols, tying things up often too.

That tying up might of been moving up to the next year group which may of included a short refresher of the ground you covered the that academic year and hwo that would help you start the next and for some either leaving school for Middle or High School with special services, taster sessions in your new school to ease transition or leaving the world of School for good although the vain hope of fifth formers of leaving education for ever isn't realized simply because we still have need to learn things as legal adults so end up going to college or university anyway.

Formal dress shorts go away for six or seven weeks as we put on t shirts or short sleeved polo shirts as do your grey shorts for sports shorts as we're out playing day after day, getting mucky to our mothers horror.

Modern sports shorts are nothing like those we wore so actually I got some much shorter football shorts aimed for girls and young women that are much shorter which do feel more like those I had back then and so during this hot spell they've been on and we're great.

Anyway nobody really can tell their origins so don't just rule out things for being on the other genders options if it is what you're looking for and for me it's more the play I loved and find I still need.

Anything that brings that back is good.

Post 500

 

The last week was a bit of a challenge which isn't new, after all this blog faced challenges way back in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic and periods where I contracted Covid, losing Mum in 2023 and obviously before the blog got started in 2016 with both my born with and aquired disabilities.

This blog has tended to be in a sense a more personal and emotions based one going a good deal more into what I am about, what I feel, sometimes more into wider questions in society around topics involving disability, the importance of  play and imagination oven if you're over 18, the sense in which some of us are in effect adult children and so on.

What everybody does is different and there is no one "right" way, for some to read a story, rewatch a tv  show or film to play with childhood toys is sufficient to take them back to that time and in touch with those emotions and feelings that may of been buried by adult responsibilities such as work, looking after a partner.

You find yourself back in that frame of mind.

A good number of us feel to dress more like our childhood selves builds on that whither it is more akin to school uniform of our era or more like children's play or leisure wear not least short trousers, indeed we may feel more comfortable in our skin dressed as such.

Of course we know what our legal age is and would NEVER do anything to harm or otherwise have inappropriate contact with actual children whatever some might think (and where they get that from is a mystery!).

There are those who do like to recreate a school day and understandably those who'd run a mile from it, feeling the bad experiences they had as some of things that happened in our era were plain wrong.

Personally I can enjoy it so long as actual lessons where you do learn something new.

We tend not to talk a lot about it not least as I feel there's only so much that can be said without repeating yourself and that actually this adult child thing isn't centred around it but given the era many of us grew up in to talk of the past will bring up issues with and around spanking and some *may* find it comes into being that adult boy.

Personally I find a smack  to my bum delivered where I'd of had one in my childhood runs through it all adds to the totality of being that adult boy but I will add I do understand that those who had very bad experiences with any kind of cp at home or school will feel differently and have my understanding.

That's why I say how this thing is for you is YOUR thing and all I'm doing in publishing this blog is across a range things as I experience them and that hopefully it helps you be comfortable being yourself whatever some may of said at various points in your life.

Here's for the next hundred posts.

Daddy's Boy

Just been getting things ready for dad to return he's been a bit poorly of late so he don't come back to a list a metre long of stuff to do while really I'd rather have week of all boy all the time fun rather than a domestic assistant

Although there were a few issues over the years, I'm more a daddy boys really loving spending time with him and his interests like trains and electrics and he still sees me as "his boy" from the early days to day.

I grew up with things some have issues with and Golly's were one I had and collected things to get.


You can see reading this how by the late 1990's recieved opinion was changing even though many differeing opinions did exist.

Summer fun

 

Yesterday was a bit of an odd one with it raining quite hard first thing when I put the bins out for recycling but by had dried up with some sunshine so I was off to the park with my Dangermouse T shirt, arygle socks and shorts playing on the swing and running around after the school run was over with and I'd got my porridge down me.

That feeling play without a care in the world was and is really the thing I love around around being alb more than just the attire or effects of that past era as much as I enjoy them.

It's just acting on what is in me.
