Dreaming
I often catch myself daydreaming about the perfect space at home, the kind of place that instantly makes you exhale the moment you walk in. A space that feels calm, a little indulgent, and entirely yours. It’s not always about bigger rooms or new furniture, but about the details that quietly transform how a room [...]
All set but the oven
The table stands in quiet cheer Christmas Day is almost here. Plates are set, how they shine, Everything’s ready well, in line. Cutlery straight, a festive sight, Waiting patiently for the night. Candles glow, the room looks right, A picture dressed in Christmas light. All is done, no more delay… Except the food to cook [...]
Using Second Life Drama to Feel Relevant on YouTube
There’s a special kind of irony when someone logs into Second Life, not to create, not to build, not to participate, but to use other people’s lives as content. They don’t tell their own story, they borrow everyone else’s. They hover. They record. They stitch together half truths and imagination, then upload it to YouTube [...]
Spirit!
Every December I go hunting for that magical festive feeling and absolutely nothing. Not a sparkle. Not even a jingle. I’ve tried Christmas films (slept through them), and even a festive candle. Meanwhile, everyone else seems to be floating around in a seasons joy. So maybe the problem isn’t me… maybe it’s that I’ve been [...]
Colour can change your mood
Baby it’s cold outside…
But not cold enough for what I really want which is SNOW.

Right now, the weather is giving “permanently chilly inconvenience” instead of “winter wonderland.” It’s cold enough to make [...]
The dream kitchen v reality
In my universe the one where my Second Life avatar lives her best, perfectly curated digital existence, my kitchen is a masterpiece. No clutter. No gadgets. No stack of post that’s been “temporarily” living on the counter for three weeks. Just sleek lines, spotless worktops, and me floating through it like a minimalist domestic goddess. [...]
Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something
This weekend I discovered a new level of exhaustion, the kind where even logging into Second Life feels like the impossible. I stared at my SL icon like, “Not today, demon.” Meanwhile real life was behind me waving a to do list. The hoover was judging me from across the room. The washing and ironing [...]
The Glamorous Life of My Virtual Self
Real me: Stares at wardrobe, picks the same camo trousers, and black Tshirt I had on yesterday. Virtual me: Slips into a body hugging gown that would require three assistants, industrial strength shapewear, and a small prayer in real life. Facts!! But in the virtual world? Easy. Effortless. Zero chafing. Even my hair is fabulous. [...]
