Cyber punk’d

Posted on June 17, 2019 by

Every now and again, I get a little bored with the same old routine and I ditch the sensible hair, the M&S clothes and shun the safe and homely parts of SL. On goes the leather, latex and shiny plastic, … Continue reading →

Bomb!

Posted on April 11, 2019 by

I am the sort of person who, it seems, is readily mistaken for an authority figure in real life. I’m regularly accosted in shops by people asking me where to find certain items, who are then disappointed to find that … Continue reading →

I wandered lonely

What’s in a name?

Posted on June 13, 2018 by

I travel a lot, an awful lot, and I’m frequently puzzled and intrigued by the names of many of the places I pass through. Quakers’ Yard; Devil’s Bridge; Hope; Hobbiton (OK, maybe not that last one!)… Evocative and sometimes perplexing … Continue reading →

Driven

Posted on May 22, 2017 by

Going mobile

Posted on January 9, 2017 by

I’m a workstation sort of person – I like to have an area set aside, with all the essential tools that I’m going to need, where I can spend my working hours in an environment that is conducive to what … Continue reading →

Eight

Posted on December 14, 2016 by

I was born a traveller. For as long as I can remember I’ve had a fascination with far flung places, exotic destinations and unfamiliar cultures. As a youngster, it was my ambition to become an explorer and adventurer, hacking my … Continue reading →
