Merry Christmas everyone out there. Whether you celebrate or not, I wish you all s as wonderful few days.
I’m taking time to enjoy a hot chocolate in the real world as well as the virtual. Why not.
Lots of films and chilling time.
But I’m now taking a few days away from blogging and so to give you some viewing pleasure I made a few videos for the Christmas period just to bring a smile.
I released all but one of them last night and so here they are in no specific order.
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?

Today I’m truly missing the life of ten years ago and my feet are itching to head into a club again.
At least we have Second Life where we can if we want live the dream at this time even if clubs are shut. Dance video below and I was feeling very clubby as you will tell.
Whether you are at a house party or a club, this a fun and light-hearted unisex R&B Hip Hop Party Groove by Jasmine Shannon. Best recommended for R&B Hip Hop tunes.
Originally danced to “Slide” by Coi Leray. Tempo = 97.00 BP

The fact that it’s two weeks to Christmas hasn’t escaped me.
The fact that I have absolutely no plans at all, certainly hasn’t escaped me.
I’m actually in a quandary about this years festive season and that basically there’s no Christmas meal with my friends from work in the run up to Christmas or my friends outside of work.
There’s also the possibility that if we stay in Tier 3 will we be allowed to mix to any extent? Boris, leaves me wondering often. For me at the moment I have absolutely no social bubble. That has I’ll be honest been the case basically since lockdown started in April this year. Apart from one of two catch ups.
I haven’t seen my children since just before the U.K. 1 month lockdown started. Approx just over 6 weeks and I’ve seen a friend to say goodbye before she moved across the country two weeks ago. Oh hang on, my daughter for 1 hour as we had a socially distanced walk around the lakes one lunchtime.
I don’t have a social bubble because the rules are in a house share situation that there can only be one bubble for the shared housemates. As I’ve mentioned before the other person here has been a bubble already.
So to do the right thing means I don’t because at the end of the day, if anything did happen to me that’s one thing. The thought I could potentially inadvertently pass anything to my grandson who has a heart condition, would break my heart. Let alone my children.
It is a strong thing this parent instinct how you would literally sacrifice anything for the protection of your children. I never understood it before I became a mother.
The truth is I happily forfeit parties and indulging my own so that things can get better. However, in pixel planet (my fond name for Second Life) I can get dressed up, hop in a car and go out for the day.
Ready to winter shop and get new shoes because you have walked too much?
The Annual winter Shop & Hop in Second Life starts Thursday 10th for the Second Life Birthday Group Members from 9 am SLT. It then officially opens to all the public at 9am SLT on Friday 11 December..
There are 180 Second Life Content Creators participating.
There are 9 regions for you to visit with 20 stores per region.
All stores will have a free gift for you to nab as well as discounts from 20% upwards. I have seen so many discounts averaging around 50% which lets face it, if you are on a budget like me, makes sense. Get all your Christmas shopping done whilst saving a few lindens at the same time.
Second Life Birthday Group will get early access to the event on December 10th from 9am SLT onwards.
Event is open to the public from December 11th from 9am SLT to January 3rd.
You may want some links to all of this winter shopping craziness.
The official landing page is here when the page opens for you to visit all landing slurls will appear. Until then you need to wait for the Lindens to let you in. Maybe some bribes?
Meanwhile I would get some good comfy shoes on, grab your backpack and Lindens purse. Last but not least a good tip is to lower your graphic’s down and draw distances so you can actually move . Another tip if you are on firestorm viewer is to go to World at the top and scroll down and tick “show friends only”. I find the less people I see the more view there is . Shop like a stealth ninja I say! So its time to prepare for the shopping madness and prepare.
I am just giving you a calendar update because im quite helpful like that. Also to let you know that this is todays advent calendar goodie from Entice. So pop on over as freebies are a dream arent they.
I do love a freebie and Christmas goodies are the best. Sadly the only place we get them is in our virtual lives because reality is not so kind.
If we are honest, reality puts the prices up then lowers them back down again and we are deluded into the false premise we nabbed ourselves a bargain.
Enjoy the virtual free gifts and make sure in reality you check their “discounts”.
