Kitchen Warmth

Kitchen Warmth

I've already started to notice some winter photos appearing on blogs and in Flickr and even though it feels like it just arrived the winter season is making its way into our Second Lives. I've always preferred Autumn but do love the cosiness of winter. I like the dark nights, the sound of frost underfoot, [...]

Hello Autumn!

Hello Autumn!

Back to work today in real life after my long weekend. It really did feel like a long weekend too as it dragged on in many ways...and not all of them good. I did at least get to catch up on a little decorating and blogging and I start the week with three photographs, taken [...]

What Ifs and Buts

What Ifs and Buts

When there is a major change in your Second Life it can be easier some days than others. Yesterday was not a good day. The last few weeks I've thrown myself into work and reconnecting with friends and I've kept every second of my waking hours busy with something...anything would do as long as my [...]
