Ah yes. Since I tried the free sailboat LL gave to premiums last week, I think I am hooked on sailing. It is relaxing, sailing the Blake Sea (e.g.) and watching the sun set in the ocean, with only the sounds of the wind and the waves! How come I never did this before!? Anyway….

The 5th of December!
Much to my annoyance I have seen lots of Christmas decorations already, in SL that is. Overhere in my RL, Holland, not so much. It would have been very not done and if one dares to decorate for Christmas before the 5th of December, one will be named and shamed in the neighbourhood! I have…
All play and no work!
Saturday…. and after a week of all work and no play, I was in the mood for some SL shopping and fiddling in photoshop (using my new toy: the wacom Intuos 4M – yay!). I went to Zaara and found a lovely set of Lingerie with floral print, perfect to play Barbie in my skyloft!…
Back home!
After a very tough, rl, week, I took the weekend offline to recharge my batteries. Been out on my bike and cleared my head. I think all will be 100% okay soon! So, I logged in briefly and was delighted to find out that my neighbour had put his beach side parcel for sale. I…
Imperial Autumn
Yeah I know. It is only the 1st of September and maybe we will get a bit of summer after all the rain, but I felt the urge to redecorate ImperiuM Island today and get ready for Autumn! With a bit of the mini-flu left (I apparently brought a nasty virus with me from the…
Ellie’s Time out
Last night I rezzed the Padded Room from aDorkable (yeah, another Platinum Hunt item!) in the dojo, to check it out. Within a couple of minutes Ellie took a time-out in it! No worries, Ellie is just fine, it just shows even brave Samurai need some peace and quiet every now and again….
Mount Rushmore
In 1999 I made a wonderful road trip in the USA, from Colorado via Utah to Montana and I-don’t-know-how-many states. I have fond memories of Yellowstone NP, what an amazing place. Also, since we were driving along and it was not a fully planned trip, at some point decided it would be cool to see…
Artarra
This afternoon I visited Artarra (A) – a sim filled with flowers, trees, birds and surrounded by huge snowy mountains. A lovely place to hangout and explore. There is, besides the meadows filled with colourful flowers also a cave and a tropical-jungle-like beach. It started raining when I was there, figures! But luckily I was…
Coffee and a Croissant, please
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. It may be because I always wake up hungry… Since the summer in Holland is more than sad (it feels like it’s October already) I have not had the chance yet to have my coffee and croissant outside in the morning sun. I wonder if this is…
Marathon Caye – Wilderness
My two weeks vacation aka Annual Leave has started…it’s a bit weird feeling, and probably needs to sink in yet – it’s my first 2-weeks off in 3 or maybe 4 years! Since the summer in Holland is more than lousy so far, rain 24/7 and some more rain…I took a little break in Second…
Milk & Cream
Ha, no..this is not a recipe or something like that! Milk and Cream is a magic place, a floating island filled with lush green forests, tree houses, a barn and secluded spots to hangout or dance. At the landing point you will find some small shops and also a sign with explanation on what scripts…
The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse
Last night, just before I was going to try to get some dinner (I still can’t chew without pain, so I am not looking forwards to eating..), I got an IM from Don. He and his friends were sitting and chatting in their hangout ‘The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse’ and listening to Amy Winehouse songs. If…
Scrubbing the week off
Ah bless the Friday night! After a turbulent week with elbow-troubles, root canal misery and other assorted worries….All turned out okay in the end. Well, kind of! To symbolically scrub off this week and get all clean and fresh for the next…A nice, long hot bath and a facial mask did wonders! Bathroom: [What next}…
The Tower of Meditation
Meditation and me. Why not? I never tried it in RL, so I thought…let’s try it in Second Life! After some searching I ended up at the Skystage Cathedral where one will also find the “Tower of Meditation”. As the name says: it is a tower indeed! A high one! As I had some trouble…
Let the sun shine….!
Today I finally got some inspiration to make a summer beach on ImperiuM Island – in the NW Corner of the sim..I have been meaning to do this for weeks! Luckily Ratt had some time as well, and he helped me getting a sandy beach (with a sculpt), he made a nice picnic-table in ImperiuM…
The Dark Swamp
The Dark Swamp is a perfect location for photoshoots! You hear frogs everywhere, a nice touch to the general, swampy ambiance. Lovely views! At the landingpoint you will find a modest shoppingmall with some nice shops that sell clothes, skins, artwork and gardensupplies. The buildings fit nicely in the theme of the sim. I discovered…
