My mobile phone

My mobile phone

I hate when my phone goes off. Every buzz feels personal. Like my phone is tapping me on the shoulder just to say, “Hey. Nothing important. Just vibes.” It’s never good news. It’s never life changing. It’s always an app I don’t remember downloading or a notification about something I’ve already dealt with. Or a [...]

I’ll be busy

I’ll be busy

I’m genuinely buzzing right now because my friend is coming over from France for a long weekend, and I haven’t seen her in five years. The kind of time where life happens, hair changes, people move, and somehow you still pick up exactly where you left off. It’s funny how excited I am about something [...]

Snowdrops

Snowdrops

My urge to film kicked in when I visited Kess Crystals Snowdrops destination last night. So I may be back over the weekend when I have more time to do a destination video. I’ve been letting my filming take a giant back seat due to a lot of things but mainly the reality of my [...]

Snow please?

Snow please?

I really want snow. The proper kind. The fairy light, crunchy underfoot, cancel transport, chaos kind. But in reality, it always misses me. Everyone else gets a blizzard, I get aggressive drizzle. So in Second Life? It’s snowing. Constantly. Perfect flakes. No slush. No disappointment. If I can’t have winter magic in real life, I’ll [...]

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

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

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. [...]

Feed me Seymour

Feed me Seymour

Something strange is happening to me. I’ve become ravenous. Not just “I could eat a little snack” hungry. We’re talking prehistoric cavewoman who’s just discovered Uber Eats levels of hunger. I wake up thinking about breakfast, then mid-breakfast I’m already planning lunch. By mid-morning, I’ve had what I call a “snackcident” . I swear I’m [...]

Back at it

Back at it

I went back to work today and realised I’m just a number. Hence my avatars face. I had my stitches out yesterday and I have not fully healed. So I have to keep dressing it and keep clean. Also no wild walking etc for weeks to come. Not an issue, me walking distances? Nah. After [...]

It arrives soon

It arrives soon

Halloween arrives soon Like that cousin you didn’t invite to the family party. Pumpkins are grinning, candles are lit, And my costume still looks like utter sh— nonsense (I don’t wear one I’m scary as it is) The shops sell cobwebs for £5 a strand, I can just leave my house unplanned! Kids want sweets, [...]

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

The sun’s shining, the sky’s pretending it’s still summer, and here I am, proudly swanning about in my shorts like I’ve just been sponsored by Savlon. Why? Because my legs are still decently presentable until my next melanoma operation on the 23rd of October on my shin. I’m having another WLE. Just as the first [...]
