Drinks

I always thought a drinks cabinet was a posh people only thing. Oak furniture, fancy bottles, and crystal glasses. In real life, my “cabinet” is a shelf that holds cordial and lattes. But in Second Life? Different story. In Second Life, I can be absolutely skint and still own a gorgeous drinks cabinet packed with [...]

Striking the pose

Striking the pose

There’s a very specific kind of chaos that comes with blogging in Second Life, and honestly, I think it’s part of the charm. You spend ages finding the perfect outfit, the right windlight, the angle that says “effortlessly candid” while actually being very simply staged. Then comes the pose. The sacred moment where you’re supposed [...]

Cozy Porch in my beach hut

Cozy Porch in my beach hut

There is a very specific kind of luxury that comes from sitting down and doing absolutely nothing. Being firmly planted on my Chez Moi chairs, while the rain aggressively taps on the roof like it’s got opinions. I mean, it’s winter but these look and feel just as great inside the beach hut! Is it [...]

Is Blocking Grok Really About Adult Content solely or About Controlling Speech?

Is Blocking Grok Really About Adult Content solely or About Controlling Speech?

There’s been a lot of noise recently about governments wanting to block or restrict Grok, supposedly because it can generate adult content. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. Protect users, protect minors, keep things “safe.” Fine. No one is arguing against sensible safeguards. But here’s where it starts to feel a bit kinda off. Grok [...]

The world is a bit shit right now

The world is a bit shit right now

Let’s not sugar coat it, the world feels pretty shit right now. Every time you open your phone there’s another headline designed to make your chest tighten. Wars you can’t fix. Politics that feel like a shouting match with no listening. Prices going up while patience, empathy, and common sense seem to be in freefall. [...]

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 [...]

My cuddle friend

My cuddle friend

I’ve been unwell since Boxing Day, which is apparently long enough for everyone to assume I’m fine now. I’m not. Returned to work today anyway. Was I well? No. Was I upright and vaguely conscious? Yes. I answered emails, stared at screens, and quietly wondered why I didn’t have a soft toy for emotional support. [...]
