Paradise by the Poolside Lights

I'm not going to be writing a huge amount today.  As some of you know from previous posts my daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year and hasn't responded very well to the treatments she's had so far. Today is surgery day...she's having a section of her bowel removed. It's a fairly common operation [...]

In it to win it!

In it to win it!

It's an informational post from me today rather than a random delve into my thoughts! I wanted to share with you a couple of photo contests that are going on right now. First up is the FaMESHed 5th Anniversary Contest. The prizes are crazy...and unlike most things in SL I mean crazy in a good [...]

Secret Garden

Secret Garden

Yesterday was the first real Spring day in the UK where there was heat in the breeze as well as the sun in the sky. I saw my first bumble bee buzzing around too so it must have been warm! There's something about the sun and warmth of Spring that lifts the spirit and makes [...]

Why is that I have a tendency to be a little OCD about really silly little things but can't seem to catch the OCD bug for things that would be beneficial to me like exercise, or healthy eating or in fact any kind of self-discipline sometimes. I thought about this today when I was opening [...]

Je Suis Paris

Je Suis Paris

Only people that have never experienced online friendships think they aren't real. They are certainly different from conventional friendships but only in the sense that the communication platforms used are different. A lot more written communication in the form of IM's, emails etc and a lot of less verbal communication and occasionally face-to-face communication via [...]

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 [...]
