There isn’t one really but made you look. I’m pretty speechless today. Never mind the news we are in a further total lockdown.
I agree it’s needed. There are frankly people out there who behave like stupid and don’t care.
But hey who am I to judge?
I’ll put this here. I woke up today with a throat that is like razors and I can barely swallow.
Is it because I spent the night snoring and hurt my throat or have I picked up something?
I’ll let you know later today.
But if I’ve picked up anything. How? I don’t go anywhere. I have been in lockdown many months and haven’t had a social bubble at all.
I’ll leave this here, the housemate. Who doesn’t follow the guidelines. This is as simple as that.
Please don’t assume I have Covid because I’m not saying that. However what I am saying is every single person has the responsibility to think about those around them.
Start thinking. Because basically I shouldn’t be catching anything at the moment. Even a common cold which I’m assuming this frankly is.
Let’s pretend we are already starting the summer and we are all out and about and life has returned to normal. Whatever normal is. Let’s just believe it and it will come.
Ok, I failed to mention that reality has it raining right now and I’m patiently waiting for a grocery delivery.
One of the things I love about life is we can take moments and make the best of them. Turn winter into summer if we want. Imagination is amazing like that. As is use of technology when we choose to use it.
Last night was one such moment. I spent the night doing something else with a lovely friend and had the best fun. Met new friends and we just had fun!!!!
My RL friends don’t understand virtual friendships and finding fun in a new way. After a year of lockdown you would imagine they would by now understand, that in time we need to consider the future. What it means and where we may have to go.
I would say that many of us have discovered the future quite a while ago and loneliness can be lessened by connecting with people.
You don’t need to be in the same space as someone to laugh, cry and feel appreciated. I love my friend as he is the loveliest male human I know. Well aside from my family humans.
We have never met. But we talk all the time and at the same time give each other space. He is an ear to my whines and low moments and I hope I am to him. That’s friendship. Simple.
So today although it’s cold, miserable and raining. I feel ok. I feel content and each day looking forward to time with my children and friends.
In the meantime I have my VR friends who one day I hope to meet because they have given me so much and for that I appreciate each one of them.
I’m a little worse for wear this morning. I partied and drank rhubarb gin until the early hours of 3am U.K. time and had a great night.
Yorkie, Rosie, Guy and me spent our evening as Strawberry’s flash mob. Poor lady couldn’t get away from us. Then Maddie joined us a little later and we ended up dancing about in the snow in my front garden
All in our virtual world, because let’s face it, reality has tightly locked us down at the moment.
I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the night and I’ll share some of the photos below the credits.

One of my good friends has Covid I found out last night and she sounds really bad. She has constant headache, huge fatigue, coughing up large amounts of I don’t know what and a pain in her chest.
It came on a few days before Christmas and on Christmas morning she was told the results.
Currently she is at home all on her own with her 13 year old son. No one is allowed to visit and I just want to hug her. I’m hoping she doesn’t get worse and starts to feel better soon.
Two of my daughters friends are now ill as well and what felt like far away is starting to hit people around me.
So I’m glad Christmas is over. Next there is New Years and all the idiots will be back out and about.
Aside from that I’m wondering how others spent their time. I know how lonely I felt inside, but I managed it. I made the best of my alone time to enjoy it.
Others are not like me and struggle more. It saddens me that anyone should have to be left alone at all. These are facts of life, not just Covid life. Covid just makes it all the more apparent.
Right now the best gift anyone can give, is time. Time never stands still and it passes so fast. So where you can, give it freely. It’s worth far more than any material thing you own.
I have those moments where I step away from the virtual and live in the reality. It’s a given.
It’s the early hours of Boxing Day as I write this and I’m contemplating the past 48 hours and how different they have felt.
With the craziness of life at the moment, I’ve had my fair share of low points recently. I’ve struggled with how I was feeling about parts of my life and what we are all going through.
One thing I can tell you is I miss humans a lot. Touching and hugging and just being near them. I believe we take the simplicity of human connection for granted until we suddenly find we are without it.
I miss “normal” life. Being free to walk amongst humans, brushing past them in the street and smelling their fragrances and trying to guess the make.
I miss walking in stores and people watching and seeing eyes meet and smiles. Real smiles unhidden by masks.
I missed my usual Christmas this year. But I made the best of it as best I could. I enjoyed me time and watched lots of films and had phone conversations.
I missed hugging my children and spending hours with them. Instead we socially distanced meet up, no hugging because there’s more to think about. Not just what I miss or feel.
That’s what I take away this Christmas. That there’s more to think of than just what we expect, want and had gotten used to. Doing things differently is just the way it is right now and it’s ok.
Although I feel alone right now, I also feel lucky. Because out there are my family and friends. My real and virtually made friends.
I appreciate all who checked in on me.
It’s just a moment in time, a blip. Life will move forward and we will learn something new. We will adapt and make changes.
Warm wishes and let’s look forward to the new year. There’s so much more to come.
I’m feeling a little sad today and not sure how long this feeling is going to be for.
A lot of things lately are very unpredicted and we take each day as it comes. Today in south east U.K. we started day 1 of a Tier 4 lockdown.

There will be no Christmas in each other’s homes and for me this hurts incredibly.
I’ve spent the past nearly 9 months following the guidelines and to the point I denied myself a lot even when the rules were somewhat lifted. Believing if we all did our bit then life can slowly return to near normal. The belief that Christmas Day I had so much to look forward to. Seeing my children and my grandson.
This is not going to happen. We cannot mix for the foreseeable next few weeks and I’m terribly sad inside about it.
Some have “support bubbles”. I do not.
Because I live in a house share situation. If one person is mixing outside the other cannot create their own support bubble.
I never had a choice in this because the person who rents the spare room met a boyfriend, does physical activities which include mixing and apparently their “mental health” needs to do this.
Well today my sympathies are completely gone. They’re gone for every single person who chose to ignore guidelines and live their best lives during a pandemic. They’re gone because of the selfish actions of others. Including my housemate.
My decision is postpone “Christmas” for when we can. We can still have it another time.
I’ll make the best of a few days break over the holidays and catch up with sleep, films and maybe spending time on myself a bit.
I’m inside the saddest I have ever felt. Doing the right thing didn’t work because if others don’t, then your actions are wasted.
Christmas is important to many people. Not for the religious observance etc.
It’s important as it’s a time families get to come together and just spend time when for many months they cannot. This year seems more so important.
Anyhow it is what is is, the best we can do is find a way to make the best of what we have at our fingertips.
My story in Second Life will be even more so poignant this year. I plan on the Christmas get together in 22nd December. But it may be this year I’ll be with others in our virtual world, spending time on Christmas Day.

Im not one to tutor. Never have been mainly because I faff and take the long way around things, never retain the info or I just go in blindly and do things. Remember how to explain my process is often my downfall.
Dont expect a professional Tutorial here, but unlike my usual videos, short and sweet and job done.
So if you want to know how to get those old windlights from the pre EEP Firestorm back in, then this will help.
My mate Rosie Helendale has created a gorgeous destination for all to visit.
Honestly gorgeous and I tried to do a sneaky video last night under an alt account but she caught me in the act!!! Clearly I’m not very good at disguising myself when my alt resembles Isa! Doh me!
I’m not going to prattle on when you can instead watch the video. So click below and enjoy.
Happy Tuesday one and all from a rather exhausted woman in reality. I think my body and mind need the holidays to arrive pronto.
I’m so tired that once I let myself relax finally I know I’ll be asleep for days. The cat, have I mentioned the cat!! Bondi my ball of fluff, love of my life. His fault.
Every single night he is like a clock. Pounces into my chest to let me know he is awake and ready to play. Honestly he is trying to murder me I am sure!
The perfect crime, who would suspect the beautiful blue eyed handsome pussy cat?
