I’ll be busy

I’ll be busy

I’m genuinely buzzing right now because my friend is coming over from France for a long weekend, and I haven’t seen her in five years. The kind of time where life happens, hair changes, people move, and somehow you still pick up exactly where you left off. It’s funny how excited I am about something [...]

Drinks

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 [...]

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. [...]

All set but the oven

All set but the oven

The table stands in quiet cheer Christmas Day is almost here. Plates are set, how they shine, Everything’s ready well, in line. Cutlery straight, a festive sight, Waiting patiently for the night. Candles glow, the room looks right, A picture dressed in Christmas light. All is done, no more delay… Except the food to cook [...]

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

This weekend I discovered a new level of exhaustion, the kind where even logging into Second Life feels like the impossible. I stared at my SL icon like, “Not today, demon.” Meanwhile real life was behind me waving a to do list. The hoover was judging me from across the room. The washing and ironing [...]
