Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

My Mums favourite visits to London were to see Phantom of the Opera. She was lucky enough to see it in the mid 80's with Michael Crawford in the lead role and she played the soundtrack at home often. As a young girl I'm not sure I appreciated the 'music of the night' quite as [...]

A Year Goes By – My First Year of Blogging

A Year Goes By  – My First Year of Blogging

Wow! It's Sunday again huh? Where did THAT week go? In fact where did that YEAR go? Today is the anniversary of 1 year of blogging on the WordPress platform. I had blogged previously on blogspot but I really didn't take it very seriously and I was erratic to say the very least.  I initially [...]

Ain’t Nothing Going on But the ‘Rents

Ain’t Nothing Going on But the ‘Rents

I have the parental units visiting this weekend. Oh the joy! No, really...it is a joy to see them. As I've written before my stepmother has Alzheimers and my father hasn't always dealt with it well. He's always been a man on a short fuse with a bark terrifying more scary than his bite and [...]

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

The title of this post is a quote from Coco Chanel. It's not always easy to avoid the things in life that clip your wings a little but how you deal with those situations and/or people will determine how quickly your wings recover and you feel ready to take flight again. Those scars and dents [...]

Ready to Take a Leap of Faith?

Finding that special person, your SLife companion isn't easy. You just have to look at facebook or talk with a group of friends about past relationships to realise how many frogs there have been before there is any sign of the birth of a Prince.  When you have been stung badly by someone who has [...]

Calling Out Around The World “Are you Ready for a Brand New Beat?”

Calling Out Around The World “Are you Ready for a Brand New Beat?”

Well it might be a little early to claim Summer's here but it's never too early to dance in the street right? Making mine, and hopefully a few other peoples pixels dance is high on my agenda for this week. The latest MadPea game The Interview launches on 1st April and I will be dj'g [...]

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 [...]

Do What You Love and Love What You Do

Do What You Love and Love What You Do

Wise, wise words from the creators of BackBone at Lost & Found this round. As many of my readers and friends know I made a massive decision to close the club I had owned in Second Life for almost 6 years. The core reason...I just didn't love it anymore. I loved the people, the team, [...]

Never Have I Ever – Strawberry Singh Monday Meme

Never Have I Ever – Strawberry Singh Monday Meme

Strawberry Singh has been uber busy in real life over the last few months so it's brilliant new to see her back with her Monday Memes...albeit occasionally. Those of us that love a lil challenge from Strawberry will be happy to see them back even if it's a little erratic for a while. You can [...]
