Mellow Yellow is Springing Up All Around

Mellow Yellow is Springing Up All Around

The clocks went forward in the UK this weekend starting British Summer Time and how did the weather welcome this change in name? With Storm Katie of course! Winds of up to 100 mph battered most of the south of England and Wales last night and as someone who sleeps with the bedroom window open 365 [...]

I’m Taking Care of My Procrastination Issues – Just You Wait and See!!!

I’m Taking Care of My Procrastination Issues – Just You Wait and See!!!

(Timestamp 8.35am) I've talked before about my love of Mondays...it's the day I procrastinate least and feel most positive about my workload. I wish I had Mondays focus on Thursdays! Nike says Just Do it... Fancy Decor says Get Shit Done...either way this is my work space and it's where I go to focus and [...]

Put a Little Spargel in your Life

So, Tell Me, Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?

I was reminded of this song this weekend as I watched Strictly Come Dancing (the only reality show I watch and admit to be totally addicted to!) The lyrics of the song really resonated with me in light of my previous posts about Narcissism and some of the comments that I read here and on [...]

How Much Solitude Should One Seek in a Social Virtual Reality World?

Sometimes I want to be alone in Second Life. Now, it's true that sometimes that is because I withdraw when things are bothering me and sometimes it's just because I like the peace and quiet. Many of us treat SL as a bit of an escape and the things we can be trying to escape [...]

The Theatre of Dreams and How Should I Change Mine?

It's almost 6 months since I moved my blog to WordPress and made a much more concerted effort to blog almost daily. I thought now was a good time to take a step back and review the progress and consider the strategy for the blog moving forward and I'm interested to know others views on [...]

Code Black Miss Wednesday

One of the things I adore most about SL is that we can talk about subjects, and be more open about them, than we may want to be with people in our real life. Depression is one such subject. I have several friends that have shared their suffering on various forums, including facebook, which I [...]

Warmth, the Word of the Season

Just loving decorating at this time of year. Anyone who has read my profile in world knows that I am a huge fan of all things Italian...the food, the wine, the people, the culture, the history...ok so maybe not such a big fan of their driving, but everything else gets a big ole tick in [...]

Those Who Don’t Believe in Magic Will Never Find it

All Hallows Eve is just a few weeks away and the stores and events are filling with more and more great decor items that fit the theme. Being a Brit I was intrigued by the way Halloween is celebrated in other countries and certainly the popularity of it in Second Life, where it has got [...]
