Tropics Retreat

Tropics Retreat

A couple of weeks ago Mr Smith and I ventured to Kidaka Resort for a couple of days mid-week getaway.  I highly recommend this for a casual break but even more so this time of year when everywhere else, including my own region Snowdrops, is full of snow and wintery chills. It was partly that [...]

Keep Things Neutral

Keep Things Neutral

What a busy, but great weekend! I got a lot done and managed to be super productive, watch a couple of movies, do the BVN talk and be socially active. My social life has taken on a new lease of life and I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it. I'm sure I will [...]

Keeping Schtum

My parental unit visited twice last week...for the first time in nearly 2 years due to lockdowns etc. To say it was stressful was an understatement. My father and I are chalk and cheese on almost every issue known to man. My lip is sore from biting it because I didn't want 3 whole days [...]

Yesterday was a blur...an exciting blur but a blur nonetheless. Firstly, I slept in which is a little unusual for me but was well [...]

Land of Make Believe

Land of Make Believe

It's always a treat when there is a new release from 8f8 and this month it's at Anthem. I think this has to be one of my favourite rounds of Anthem because of the theme...my wallet has certainly felt the hit of how much I've liked this round! The 8f8 release is called Make Believe [...]

Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do

It's Friiiiiiday!  I am looking forward to this weekend for lots of reasons, both SL and RL related. The absolute most important one is that on Sunday we're having a socially distanced gender reveal for my new Grandchild. My daughter is due to have a her first baby in August and the only person in [...]
