Keep the Wolf at Bay…window

First day back at work since 23rd December and I'm sooooo looking forward to getting back! Aside from the fact that I very much enjoy my job and the people I work with, I am, on the whole, a creature of routine and planned work days, in both lives. I've written before about how I [...]

A Bun in the Oven

A Bun in the Oven

Today is going well so far and completely to plan. Most of the house is clean and tidy, the last lot of laundry is in the dryer, I've lit the Christmas candles and the scent of vanilla and nutmeg is dancing delightfully around the house with the aroma of the cinnamon swirl buns I have baking [...]

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

It's Roald Dahl's birthday today - he would have been 100 years old and on the radio this morning they were discussing favourite parts of Roald Dahl books. Just a couple of weeks after Willy Wonka was in the news after the sad death of Gene Wilder it had me thinking about the film. I [...]

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

I admit to being a bit of an 'ostrich' and burying my head in the sand especially when it comes to real life issues but it can also be true when dealing with uncomfortable situations in Second Life too.  I can be prone to procrastination on real life tasks etc mainly because there is much [...]

Don’t Just Pay Lip Service to Second Life Experiences

Don’t Just Pay Lip Service to Second Life Experiences

Our Second Lives would be very dull if all we did was shop and this is coming from someone who can shop like a pro! As part of a team of experience creators I am of course passionate about all those other elements that bring joy to our second lives too. Whether that be a [...]

One Day My Prince Will Come

One Day My Prince Will Come

The phrase 'you gotta kiss a lot of frogs' before you find the prince never much appealed to me in real life let alone in SL. In SL you're expected to go a lot further than kissing before your prince will reveal himself and that doesn't much appeal to me either.  I'm not judging. If [...]

Summer Sun Brings a Perfect Place

Summer Sun Brings a Perfect Place

For the first time in about 5 years I moved to a tropical sandy sim. I've had forest/grass sims but I figured a change was as good as a rest and for summer blogging the sandy sim would be much better.  It was a good omen as I was excited to hear that I've been [...]

Look Who’s Coming to Dinner

Look Who’s Coming to Dinner

The beauty of SL for me has always been about people. I have met people from countries that I will probably never get the opportunity to visit. Even the team I work with at MadPea is made up of people from several nationalities...Finnish, Italian, American, Estonian, British, Dutch...the list goes on. And all those people [...]
