To sleep…

Posted on May 17, 2020 by

Here’s another short offering derived from a writing group prompt. I do find myself dwelling on the darker side of the human psyche when writing about anything other than SL – if you’ve ever had cause to while away a … Continue reading →

Feisty

Posted on May 1, 2020 by

It’s a rare occurence that I’m temporarily lost for words, but it happened last night, and I’m still mulling it over today. I’ve been reminded, yet again, that in the contrived arena that is SLife we are cursed with the … Continue reading →

Apotheosis

Posted on April 29, 2020 by

I’m going to make an assumption that pretty much everyone at some time has entertained thoughts about what the world might be like if we were God. In sure we’ve all toyed with the idea of how we’d use, or … Continue reading →

It’s not all about the virus

Posted on March 30, 2020 by

I received an email at the weekend from a friend, it started with the words “I’m very afraid. Do you think mankind will survive this?” I won’t go into my response in detail, but I’ll summarise very briefly. Much as … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27, 2020 by

Much ado about something

Posted on February 24, 2020 by

Clicking about

Posted on January 20, 2020 by

I’m prone to mangled mousing. Many the time I’ve found myself flying across the room, grabbed by an over zealous item of furniture that just happened to be near where I intended to click, or I’ve inadvertently teleported myself halfway … Continue reading →

Well, that’s Christmas ruined!

Posted on December 24, 2019 by

Posted on November 29, 2019 by
