2025 wasn’t a year. It was an experience. A hostile one if I’m being brutally honest. I went into it thinking, “This could be my year.” It wasn’t. It so f**king wasn’t! I spent most of the year doing important shit that no one claps for.Working. Creating. Thinking. Overthinking. Holding myself together with caffeine, sarcasm, [...]
Month: December 2025
Time
The visual is old because Christmas is a break for me of which it means no faffing to take a picture. How was your festive time? Mine was peaceful, lazy and time with my kids which to me is important. I mean we are still in festive time, but the family are now doing their [...]
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
Isn’t it amazing how a room can feel completely different just by changing a colour? You don’t need to move furniture, redecorate, or spend a fortune. Sometimes all it takes is shifting a light shade accent, one wall, or in my case, one tap on a colour HUD. Colour sets the mood of a space [...]
Baby it’s cold outside…
But not cold enough for what I really want which is SNOW. Proper, fluffy, storybook snow that falls gracefully from the sky like it has one mission in life to make everything look magical and me happy.. Right now, the weather is giving “permanently chilly inconvenience” instead of “winter wonderland.” It’s cold enough to make [...]
