Musing

November 28, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Old Harriet went skiing.

On another note. It’s Saturday and I’m still sat here in my pjs. Don’t get me wrong I’ve done housework etc. I just actually need to shower and dress.

But but but, I don’t want to. I just want to curl up on my sofa and watch glorious Christmas films all day. Even though it’s still November here.

There are zillions of Black Friday sales on and I could go online and shop? But seriously do I really need to?

Right now we need to ask ourselves, each time we go to the purchase button, do I need that?

I’m very wary at the moment about my spend because of our current situations. Here in the U.K. people like me who work in the public sector are going to experience a pay freeze. What that really equates to is a pay cut.

People are losing jobs and I’m fully aware more are going to. It’s a pretty bleak look and I keep saying to friends when they go crazy spending, and do you REALLY need that!

My wage literally barely covers my living. It doesn’t allow me much for my own enjoyment and my one thing I use my spare on is my SL hobby and enjoyment. That won’t stop because I believe that I don’t live to work. But that’s it.

So two days ago. Something amazing happened to me. A lovely person purchased and sent me a brand new shiny computer so I can make better videos. I’m totally gobsmacked and in awe. I feel right now really appreciated and I cannot wait to start filming and taking photos with this. I owe him so much and if I could leap on him and hug him I would.

The video is not from the new machine. Though one released in 12 hours from now will be.

Enjoy Harriet.

Enjoy the moment

November 25, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

I’m on a river in the middle of the water.

The sun is shining and life is good. The birds are singing and I’m alone just thinking about my day and what is new to do.

I was tagged in a post on Facebook today about a little house with a fence around it.

Fenced off from the world. Yes that’s me.

In reality enforced and in SL by choice.

It is no secret that I don’t tend to hangout with many people as often I’m just plainly busy. Lack of time is pretty much a huge decision maker as I work full time in reality and of course have to factor in relaxation away from a screen, life and sleep.

Not enough hours in the day you could say. BUT I’m also known as an island.

I tend to sit myself out to sea far away from crowds and love the time I get to just be alone and feel creative in world. I call it my wind down time and god me a very necessary time as often in reality I can become quite pressured.

My perfect SL time is actually either spent alone just dreaming or with a close friend chatting. Now and then I brace the social side but on the whole I’m an “island in the vast sea”.

Today I’m just a girl in a boat dreaming.

Throw out the old

November 24, 2020November 24, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

It’s Tuesday and another day.

It isn’t such a great week and I doubt it will get any better at the moment.

I have up and down days and today has been one of those down days. I’m not alone, many of us are having these.

I’m questioning the importance of what we hold as important and weighing up if there are things I need to ditch because they no longer fit.

What you may ask? Now that would be a long night if I were to sit here prattling on about it all.

Fact is I’ve been learning what’s important and what is not. Who is important and who is not.

You know the old searching for the meaning of yada yada yada.

I didn’t know where to start so I made a fleeting gesture. I deleted all links to the past of my avatar by destroying my long held group Cheren Estates.

It’s the group I held for nearly ten years of my SL life. I ejected the lot and then removed myself. It’s 2020 and we soon go into 2021 and new chapters need to start.

Call it like a room clean. Next will be the inventory purge of thousands of items that frankly I don’t need.

Next it’s the friends list of people who frankly I really have no darn idea who the heck many of them are. I kid you not!!

So many name changes later I have no idea who half the names on my friend list are. Plus I don’t have time to find out either.

Really, so little time and if we haven’t communicated in the past 12 months then they’re not friends are they. They’re strangers.

As for reality there is also some purging to be done as well.

2021 I plan many new things for myself and the main thing is unshackling myself from things that actually hold no relevance any longer. Even people.

Life’s far too short to hold onto things when we have so much ahead to achieve. It’s good for the soul to give yourself freshness in life. So that’s what I’m going to do.

It’s not all black and white

November 21, 2020November 21, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

I’m currently in reality sat here with my hair in my hair towel and just fiddling with my phone. Yup, living the dream as the saying goes.

Not really. My dream would be right now on a warm day sat on a beach, the sun beating down and enjoying a day out with family and friends close together. Laughter, smiles, good food and nothing to worry about.

Reality is I’m sat here, it’s mid November and I’ve been at home for nearly 8 months. Going out and about in a very limited way and mainly to stock up or get some small amount of excercise.

The sun is not shining and the sky is grey.

My health is at odds with it all and fact is, I’m still going to smile. I’m alive and I have food on my table and life still will go on.

Tomorrow is always another day and we can sit and look at all the negatives if we choose to. Or we can look at our positives and look forward to the next day.

Why am I writing this? Because even I need to remind myself that every day is a good day, even though it doesn’t match what my expectation may have been.

Life is not all black and white. It’s full of many shades.

Can you work it

Today VaGina is on her journey to get fit. As fit as she can be so that she can learn a dance to impress Yorkie. The man of her dreams.

VaGina wants to him to see the whole woman she is with moves that will send him to heaven and back. Or maybe so far off the planet one cannot be sure.

The dances come courtesy of Paragon Dance Animations. The very latest release to hit the shops.

Let’s get straight to the video!!!

The word “twerking” first appeared on record in the song “Do the Jubilee All” by DJ Jubilee in 1993, in which he chanted, “Twerk baby, twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk.

A moment with Dolores

November 19, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Some days I feel like a change and I mix it up a little with my various avatars.

The day I took this photo I had gone to my Kalhene avatar and shot this photo. I have considered really I need to name her.

After all she at least deserves that . I haven’t settled on her “look” yet but I feel she is a Dolores.

Will she become a video character? Quite possibly if I can somehow get my voice to come up with another sound for her.

It’s not easy maintaining a vocal for my characters as often I flip into each character and have to remind myself which one I am.

Harriet, Thelma and Beverley I have an ability to revert to when I need to. Va Gina is still a hard one to be and something I’m still working on. It’s possible her vocals may change slightly as it’s harder to maintain her when I’m a naturally higher pitched person.

Now Dolores! I’ll get back to you on it.

The Tuesday chat

November 17, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Often I’m a little nervous to talk about things and my one side of my head says keep it to yourself Liz. But then the other is a pretty open book and feels that a problem aired and shared is less of a problem.

Yes I have two little liz heads on my shoulders at all times. I’m not actually sure which is the smart one. But it doesn’t really matter.

Today I’m doing a little vlog about me. Well to be fair most are usually. Oh and excuse the sudden stream alerts. I’ve been trying to work out what’s wrong with my scheduling.

Is it the finger pusher or the program?

On we go

November 16, 2020November 15, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Welcome to another week of life!!! Leap out of bed and celebrate that your alive, even if you feel stuck in lockdown.

I’ll be honest my leap is pretty low and my landing sounds like a herd of cattle rampaging past.

Anyone else find they cannot stop eating this year? Seriously it’s like I’m a bear who needs to eat so I can hibernate.

In saying that pretty soon I won’t be able to drag my extra lard around and I’ll end up turning into the flotation device when the next great flood comes. Or I’m chow for the rabid dogs when the next ice age rolls over

Most people I know are saying similar things and I’m glad I’m not that alone in this because food and me are not good friends. We are lovers!!!

Still in my pretend existence, I’m lithe and athletic and can dance like the professionals. I’ll have that!

Have a great day and it’s never as bad as you think. ❤️

Sunday bliss

November 15, 2020by Isabelle Cheren5 Comments

Happy Sunday and it’s not snowing here in reality. It’s just rain, rain and more rain.

I was up last night till stupid o’clock and I really don’t know why. Ok I do, I’m trying to change the region I live on to a snow one.

Every year I change my little homes and use all the prims in the world to make my home for the winter. This year I have region control and I really seriously have not a clue what I’m doing.

I stupidly assumed you pop the textures in and hey presto you have a snow region and an ice lake!!! Clearly not. I have icy sea and you can’t skate on it. You sink.

If anyone has any idea how the sea changes to a lake? Asking for a friend. 😳

In the meantime I released my visit to snow drops which is truly beautiful.

The snowboarding is so much fun and you really need to try it sometime.

And Rebake

November 14, 2020by Isabelle CherenLeave a Comment

Saturday and I’m still waiting for my week to end. The past week or so I have been pretty hectic with reality work and union stuff.

The virtual more or less squeezed in wherever I can. I’ve had to put a notice in my auto response to try let people know that and how I’m not able to kick back and relax when I log in.

Even though we are in a lockdown again (although you wouldn’t know it by the way people are behaving) I’m still making sure my social media free time is being a priority. That said weekends I tend to try and refrain from it where I can, but this weekend I have so much to catch up on and that includes watching others works or reading blogs I have missed out on.

Thus later today, in between filming and housework and such, I will sit down like my avatar and do some you tube watching and read a few blogs I have missed out on lately.

Sadly there are only so many hours in any given day, we need to use them wisely.

Im in the midst of also trying to improve my pc and removing things and juggling them around to see if it runs better. ie freeing up some space.
