Putting a Spring in my Step

Putting a Spring in my Step

I can see the future. I can predict without a shadow of a doubt that wine will play a huge part in my life during the next 8 hours. Those of you who follow, or my friends on facebook, know that this week has been extremely challenging with my youngest daughter being taken to hospital. [...]

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

SL is often an escape for people. Over the last year it's become less so for me and more a place for collaborative working on projects. Sometimes though I need SL to just be pure escapism. When real life stresses are at the point where a switch needs to turn off and I can immerse [...]

The Future’s so Bright I’m Gonna Need Shades

The Future’s so Bright I’m Gonna Need Shades

I love Mondays...I've always loved Mondays. I was explaining why to a group of friends the other day and I realised that when I first started to tell people I liked Mondays it was probably just to be different from all the moaners and groaners who were bitching about it being the first day of [...]

My closest friend circle includes 4 outstanding women...Tracy Redangel, Sadystika Sabretooth, Grace Sixpence and [...]

Shine On Harvey Moon…shine

During the 70's my parents followed the fashion of homebrewing. The airing cupboard was full of fermenting buckets and bottles and stuff that smelled frankly terrible. I remember thinking "they are really gonna drink this stuff at some point?????" The beer making didn't last long but the wine making went on for longer. We used [...]

I’d Kill for a Reverse Cupid

I’d Kill for a Reverse Cupid

We're entering that time of year when everyone loses their damn mind and goes all coochie-cooey over each other with flamboyant and public demonstrations of love. Here's my opinion... BLAH BLAH BLAH! What I would really love on Valentine's is someone to permanently take the arrow from last year out of my back so I [...]
