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 [...]

Who Would Believe That in the Quiet Town…

Who Would Believe That in the Quiet Town…

The title of the post is a line from the prologue of 'Giles Corey of Salem Farms' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  I was so excited when I heard that there was going to be an event this year called Salem as, not only do I have a little Salem inspired area on my sim (TaKe [...]

All Around Me are Familiar Faces

All Around Me are Familiar Faces

My sister and I are like chalk and cheese. There is a 7, almost 8, year age gap between us and the circumstances we were brought up in were very different. My parents were stricter with me and financially they were struggling which is part of why they waited 7 years before having another child. [...]

Yes Kesserella You Will Go to the Ball

I had the opportunity to get the glad rags on this week - even if it was just to take a photo at home AND I had the help of the very handsome and talented Cubito Smit to help out with the photos! The dress was a gift from another friend of mine, in fact [...]

I Know What I Want and It’s Not What I Need

I Know What I Want and It’s Not What I Need

I woke up just 10 mins ago with the Golden Earring classic "Twilight Zone" in my head. Specifically: Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned The lyrics are a little different in my head with 'twilight' being replaced by the word 'friendship' . I guess it's [...]

I Am What I Am

I Am What I Am

  There's been on much chatter this week on social media about the relationship between bloggers and designers and also the requirements for blogging for each store. I've kept reasonably quiet on most of the posts, not because I don't agree or I do but because there will always be someone who does or doesn't [...]

The Car Park Attendant?

The Car Park Attendant?

I have a funeral to go to today and I don't know what to wear.  Usually it's simple right? Wear black...well in real life that's easy for me because pretty much everything I wear is black. But, the instructions for the funeral say wear a 'touch of colour'. Now I'm wondering how much a touch [...]

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

I may swap my hair style several times a day but I do tend to stick with a hair colour in SL for years, even if i do swap it out now and again for a particular look in photos etc I always go back to the same colour. I had a very long Brunette [...]

The Pumpkin Patch is back

The Pumpkin Patch is back

I sometimes think the song 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' should really be about Autumn rather than Christmas. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy Christmas AT Christmas I just hate all the build up to it and the stress. Once the day is here I enjoy it, even if it's a [...]
