Something Old, Something New – A Blogger Challenge?

Something Old, Something New – A Blogger Challenge?

I'm a bit of a hoarder in both lives and, just like in real life, I love to find something in my inventory I haven't worn for a while and dust off the cobwebs and give it an airing. Like this Besom hair I'm wearing that I first blogged in July 2015 and, in all honesty [...]

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 [...]

When it’s hard to say no

The fine line between trying too hard and getting it just right is something I've been struggling with for a few weeks now...well probably longer than that but it's become apparent to me over the last few weeks.

I know from experience that can be a hard transition, especially if you enjoyed the comfort and security of a monogamous SL and suddenly have to start thinking [...]

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 [...]

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Talking to someone close to me over the last few days has pulled together several strings of thought I've had ongoing in my head for a couple of weeks now. We were discussing a rl family member and how seemingly perfect they were at being a good husband, father etc. It got me thinking how [...]
