My 3 Pet Peeves and how I dealt with them


Pet Peeves, you know them. And maybe you have them too, those little things that annoy the crap out of you and the more often you think about or encounter them, the worse they get? I have, or had, quite a few of those  in Second Life and at some point I needed to do…

Peace of Serenity


This evening I spent a lovely time in a new place (it opened 9 november) called Peace of Serenity. Landscaped by Freakshow Zsun and decorated by Strawberri Marmelade (blazin.aubret), this is a beautiful location for all of us who enjoy exploring, walking around and taking pictures. For photo-shoots you can rezz props, once you have…

KiLu


KiLu is the name of a new destination, carefully landscaped and decorated by Kimbra Iridescent and Luis Lockjaw and an absolute must to visit. Yes, I say this a lot – but I only say it when I really mean it. KiLu is currently in Autumn style and has so many vibrant colours, it makes…

‘If you expect nothing…


…from anybody, you will not get disappointed’ A rather famous quote, often used after some disappointments. It is not easy to either lower expectations or have none at all. Well, that is how I feel. I’ve tried often though. Yet, every-time I seem to have these expectations. Not big ones, but enough to leave me…

Ladies who lun….errr….drink wine!


Last night my friends and I finally got together for an evening of chatting again! Instead of going out for some exploring or sportive activity as we had done the previous time, I invited Kerena, Becky, Ylva and Kahleesi over to my humble home for some wine and snacks. Sometimes that is all you need,…

Prison


Cica Ghost’s new installation in her sim is called Prison, and as she describes: ‘In this prison, all the doors will open for you, and you’ll be able to escape at any time. But you won’t feel like going away. And even when you finally leave, you will want to come back.’ Yes, the doors…

Furillen


Thanks to the beautiful images on Flickr and blogpost by Kate Bergdorf, I travelled to Sweden this afternoon! To Furillen to be exact. A desolate, ice-cold, snowy island – which used to be a limestone factory but is now abandoned and empty.

Miyagawacho Hanawachi


Summer has ended and seems to have gone over into winter – skipping Autumn at all, as yesterday it was a lovely sunny day and I could even sit outside in the warm sun wearing a t-shirt and this morning I had to put on gloves, scarf and hat (and a thick winter-coat) since it…

Failure to thrive – The Gray Child


This afternoon I have explored and enjoyed a new installation on LEA15 by Storm Septimus, called: ‘Failure to Thrive – The Gray Child‘. A wonderful, magical, place in a globe/sphere, filled with scenes and objects on water. Since it is built in a globe the artist strongly advises to use windlight ‘Places Las Legunas’ and…

Garden of Eden


Tonight I spent quite some time in a lovely – new to me – place called: Garden of Eden. According to the information this gorgeous place is inspired and built after the paintings of Thomas Cole ‘The Voyage of life’ and ‘The Expulsion of The Garden of Eden’ and once you have seen those paintings…

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers


Last night my friend Pepys invited me to a performance of the tribute band he plays in, in Second Life, and well why not!

A small summerbreak and a new man


The past days – I have been less active online and in-world, and enjoyed a bit of a summerbreak which I spend in  real life. Not that the weather is super, but there have been some days without rain (!) and the weatherman on tv has promised some nice sunny days at the end of…

Girls Night Out : Wipe Out!


After our previous ‘Girls Night Outs’ in which we went horse-riding and kayaking, we thought it was about time we had another field trip with some action, drinks and chats! So this time we decided to go surfing, a fun sport and so easy in SL – compared to the RL version! We (Becky, Kerena,…

Summertime ramblings and Junk


For me summer always really starts after 7 August. Of course technically it starts earlier, but I can always really start to enjoy the weather once I’ve dealt with some sad anniversaries in July, and then the last being 7 August, the day my Mom passed away. Yes, that is 14 years ago, but still….

Topless Sailors, cruising around the ocean


The other week my friend Pepys wanted to cheer me up a bit and said he would take me out for the evening. Well, that got me all excited of course, not being used to that often, so when he told me to be ready at 11AM ..I was! All dressed up pretty and looking…
