In the garden

In the garden

What am I doing right now? Laying on my sofa feeling like Im suffering with PMT. However, as I’m meno paused then this is very unlikely. I’m just stuck in a phantom menstrual cycle. It certainly isn’t coming forth at my age. I’ve been more or less laid up the past week since my leg [...]

My avatar left me for a holiday

My avatar left me for a holiday

Everyone I know is sun-kissed and sipping cocktails. I’m celebrating a French stick all to myself and pretending my bank account isn’t empty. Meanwhile, my Second Life avatar’s living it up in the Costa di Lucie, tan, yacht, sequin bikini, zero sweat. She’s flirting with a lifeguard who’s probably Dave from Croydon. She posts filtered [...]

Today is the day

Today is the day

Monday was my last hangout in the summer sun and I’m preparing to have my little surgery today on the offending malignant mole on my shin. Not going to lie, I am with heaving stomach right now and trying decide on what to wear. I know that sounds daft, but I am guessing it has [...]

Pausing to think

Pausing to think

I’ve got my pending Melanoma removal on Thursday and despite my jollity I’ve started to feel intense angst about it all. I am not good with pain. Never had any previous surgery before. The thought of being cut into my shin is filling me with intense dread If they don’t get it all what will [...]

The Suns coming back out

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray. Unfortunately, I’ll be observing from under a parasol, wrapped in SPF and simmering gently in the shade like a forgotten casserole. Why? Because on the 14th, I’m booked in for a lesion excision. Yes. While the rest of the world is out absorbing Vitamin [...]

The Waiting game

The Waiting game

Here, in the quiet, windblown shores of the British seaside, we witness a rare and fascinating spectacle, the hopeful female of the species in her natural habitat a seaside café with dirty tables and a distinct smell of fish. Clutched in her right hand, her faux leather designer look handbag which matches her outfit. She [...]

Ice Cream

Ice Cream

I just want ice cream. A nice giant 3 scoop ice cream! That’s it. That is how I am feeling today. I’m a little low, a little not low, a lot of feeling in between. I am just……. CREDITS Pipa Boho outfit from Saschas Designs Reema EVOX head from CATWA Nami hair from Exile Kait skin [...]

Pose fail

Pose fail

There I was at Luanes World looking like a model, the sun blazing just right, and me (well, my avatar) styled to perfection and perched effortlessly on top of a car stacked with surfboards. Or so I thought. This was meant to be the shot. I had the whole setup the golden backdrop, the windlight [...]

The Plants

The Plants

It’s my day off. A rare, beautiful, responsibility free day. I went to the cinema earlier to watch the Smurfs. Don’t judge. It was with my grandson and daughter. My only plan this evening? To give my balcony plants the TLC they deserve. A little pruning, a little chatting and begging of them to sprout [...]
