All things to all people

All things to all people

So, I admit it...I had a teeny, tiny meltdown last night. A perfect storm of feeling a little under the weather for a couple of days, rl stress, sl stress, a splash of disappointment in a couple of situations combined with tiredness and frustration with myself I took a nosedive into feeling sorry for myself [...]

Retreat in Peace

Retreat in Peace

It's been ironic that while building this set it's been absolutely tipping down in the UK as we've had two days of almost constant rain...and there's been nothing tropical about it.  There's been a few ironies in Second Life I've observed over the last few days too...and not the 'fly in chardonnay' type....that's just crappy [...]

Outside in or inside out? – Speed Edit Vlog

Outside in or inside out? – Speed Edit Vlog

During her recent talk at the Blogger and Vlogger Network, Wendz Tempest talked about a recent increase in 'outside inside' photos of Second Life. It's something I had been oblivious to, but I really liked the examples Wendz gave and the links to her own work. I told her I was going to give it [...]

Paradise by the Poolside Lights

Today is surgery day...she's having a section of her bowel removed. It's a fairly common operation [...]

The Road Less Traveled

The Road Less Traveled

The main reason I started blogging a couple of years ago was as an outlet for a lot of difficult to deal with emotions that I couldn't express to anyone in Second Life. I recognised that I needed to process them somehow and my blog became an outlet. I'm fast approaching the 2 year mark [...]

I Know Him So Well

I Know Him So Well

I joked about using this title as one of the most well known songs from the Tim Rice musical Chess while I was taking this photograph.  Tim Rice was a very well known lyricist having worked on many hit musicals with Andrew Lloyd Webber but completed Chess, a cold war themed musical play, with Benny and [...]

Two of my Favourite Things

Two of my Favourite Things

Fashion...no decor...nopes it's definitely fashion...no no, I love decor more. Truth be told, I can't make up my mind.  I was advised once to pick either and stick with it from a blogging perspective but I just can't do it. It's like being asked to choose your favourite child. Impossible! 6 Republic opened yesterday and [...]
