Valentines

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. Being alone is perfectly fine. You don’t need to spend ridiculous amount of money on any gifts and you get to eat ALL the chocolate!

I’d rather eat Donuts

I’d rather eat Donuts

When you are working, you don’t want applause. You don’t want a medal. You just want people to pull their weight. Because teamwork only works when it’s actually a team. When it’s a few pushing the cart it gets heavy fast. It wears you down in small ways. It eats at your enthusiasm and affects [...]

The first coffee

The first coffee

I don’t wake up ready for the day. I wake up confused. Honestly, every single morning. Before coffee, I stare at the ceiling like it’s at fault for me having to get up. I’ve brushed my teeth, dressed and ready I think for the day.I’ve read a simple email and run to make another cuppa. [...]

Raining cats and dogs

Raining cats and dogs

It’s absolutely freezing. The kind of cold where you think, it may as well just snow and get it over with. But no. Instead it’s raining. Proper raining. Cats, dogs, maybe a small donkey. The sort of rain that ignores umbrellas and finds its way down your neck anyway. Everything feels damp. Not soaking. Just… [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
