If I Knew Then What I Know Now

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

I was reminded while watching a TV programme a few days ago how our mind absorbs knowledge and how our memory reacts to that knowledge once it's embedded in our brains. A year ago I started a new job in real part of which is being a Medical Secretary to a group of consultants in [...]

Beep Beep n Beep Beep Yeah!

Beep Beep n Beep Beep Yeah!

There's been an incident this week of someone passing off, or seemingly attempting to pass off, someone else's photographs as their own work by re-posting pictures to flickr under their own name. For some reason the people that do this pick on the photographers whose work and style of photography is very easily noticeable and [...]

Chase the Fallen Leaves

Chase the Fallen Leaves

I haven't met anyone, in real life, or in SL that doesn't love Autumn. As some of you know I DJ on Fridays at Blithe and Harlow, the owner of the sim has been hard at work giving the sim a more autumnal feel. Who doesn't like to feel warm and cozy? Autumn, the year's [...]

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

Henry Ford's phrase "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." has been at the top of my mind this morning as I watch the overnight news from the Rio Paralympics. Dame Sarah Storey becomes the first female British paralympian to win 12 gold medals as [...]

You Can’t Save Me

You Can’t Save Me

I was talking to my friend Sady yesterday and I mentioned how much I am enjoying this year in Second Life. We grow as people by making changes to our lives and with the exception of my 'constants' (my very close circle of friends) almost everything has changed in one way or another. Sometimes they [...]

“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

I DJ once a week at the beautiful Blithe sim, owned by Harlow Heslop.  Normally I do an upbeat alternative, indie and indie pop set to really get my weekend off to a great start. A few weeks ago I met Kobie at one of my sets and we instantly hit it off. He's very [...]

Words and Phrases – Keepin’ up with the Crazes

Words and Phrases – Keepin’ up with the Crazes

There are lots of ways you realise you're getting older. Needing more sleep, having less sleep, realising you are saying things like "Are you sure you're old enough to be a policeman?", the inability to grow your hair without grey ones appearing....unless it's on your face and a complete inability to understand the attraction of [...]

…..Do It Better

…..Do It Better

Well the sign behind me in this picture actually say Hippies do it better but I was thinking it could say a lot of different....it reminded me of a song I used to play quite often when I dj'd called Brunettes Do It Better...of course I only played it when I was wearing brunette hair. [...]

Fluffy Friday Fantastical Frolics

Fluffy Friday Fantastical Frolics

It's Friday and I'm in cute mode! I don't do super cute often but I have my moments and I had been wanting a reason to go back and take a photo in this particular room at Fantastical Dreams. As I mentioned on a previous post the large LAQ windmill on the sim has some [...]
