Nice Weather for Ducks

Nice Weather for Ducks

The weather has been pretty changeable here for the last few weeks, even though it's officially British Summer Time. The last couple of weeks have been a blur as my elderly father has been hospitalised and I had an unscheduled dash 300 miles down to Cornwall. It rained pretty much all the way down there. [...]

Mr Smith and I have been enjoying the sights of Venice this weekend, thanks to our friends Maria and Jason and their heartwarming generosity, It has definitely not been wasted on us. We've danced, laughed, lazed our way through 2 days of sightseeing, RP dinners, coffee dates and more. Like any break, rl or sl, [...]

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

The Best Revenge is No Revenge

I have not watched the current season of The Crown...yet. I probably will but I think the recent death of The Queen has somewhat put me off diving into the most torrid and depressing time of British Royal History. At my grand old age I remember it all. It doesn't feel like long-ago history. I [...]

Pefectly Flawed

I'm one of those can't-sit-still-have-to-have-something-on-the-go type people and have always had something on the go in Second Life. Many years ago I owned a rock club called !Exodus!. We played rock music...any kind of rock music. If you could put the word 'rock' after it you could play it. Modern, Indie, Classic, Blues, Heavy, Alternative, [...]

Birdsong

Birdsong

It's a year almost that I have not seen her: Oh, last summer green things were greener, Brambles fewer, the blue sky bluer. It's surely summer, for there's a swallow: Come one swallow, his mate will follow, The bird race quicken and wheel and thicken. Oh happy swallow whose mate will follow O'er height, o'er [...]

UnDress to Impress

UnDress to Impress

I was excited to see last month that Cold Ash had started a female fashion line and was very happy to see the newest release of Jeans at Equal 10. I love the fit on these. I'm wearing Legacy in the photo but I tried them on Ebody Reborn too and both rigs were perfect. [...]

One Is You Make Me Happy, Two Is You Set Me Free

One Is You Make Me Happy, Two Is You Set Me Free

Is it really almost Thursday? That means it's almost a week since I returned from my sunny rl paradise in Sorrento. It seems like 5 minutes ago but also month ago.  I think I'm about caught up with everything now though and can maybe take a bit of a breather in SL and RL. It's [...]
