Rats in the Tunnels

April is here, Spring has officially started to spring, and there's something weird going on in Amsterdam where the people are causing dangerous chaos. In the last week there have been two major incidents and things are getting a little scary even in the middle of the day now... Things are changing, we seem to be heading down a bad road, maybe it's towards war, maybe the apocalypse is coming, whatever happens it doesn't feel like it's going to be good? 
Of course, when I think of the Apocalypse, my mind wonders and the fantasy begins... People evolve, situations change and because my mind drifted... I'm slipping into a fantasy world... 

For some reason when I thought about the Apocalypse and a character that would fit with theme of what was going through my mind, Rudh seemed to devolve from her human state to become a human Rat Klaws - coming from the BeSpoke Rat Klaws release for the March/April round of The Warehouse - a leader of the people that live within the Tunnem - a Paleto backdrop - underground... She gets all of the information she needs from her friendly rats, daring through the tunnels on her buggy...

A Witch and her Wolves

What do you do when the day at work you've had SUCKS... I got home and ate, and right now I DO NOT want to talk to anyone or do anything. I feel like if I was to sit on the sofa and watch the wall, it might be the best entertainment I've had LOL... 
I'm going to stare at the spot on the wall and let my imagination drift off to magical places, I'll probably be asleep in the next ten minutes but I'll blame it on a magic spell cast by a dark, mysterious witch... 

There have been many magical beings in my time in SL, but somehow I'm always drawn back to the darker fantasy ladies... The Fae, the Mer and the Witch would but a good definitely be characters that come and go time and time again... 
Those Witches that wander the darker corners of my mind, may be dark but usually practice less harmful magic. The Shadow Dea witch seems to spend time casting many spells, but the ones that call in her Dire Wolf Stags - from Aardvark at the Engine Room. Bringing the dark little friends in to do her devious bidding...

On a Quest for a King...

It's the 31st of March... We've already been through a quater of the year and I honestly feel like it's been going by at super speed.The feeling of the speed is making me feel weary and if I'm honest, more than a little down in the dumps, and the only thing that is getting me by at the moment is the ability to get lost in my own TBR - that's To Be Read list for the people that aren't into reading like I am... I have my favourite genres, but as well as the rather darker smuttier side, I've always been a fantasy reader. I've also always LOVED anything Knights and Medieval historical based... It leads the mind to a calming, happy place... 

I needed a little magic, I needed to let my brain drift off from the current circumstances going on in the world right now and the fact that even though life is getting busier, people around me seem to be getting grumpier... You'd think that tourists coming to Amsterdam to see the flowers, would be happier as they are on vacation, but NO people act like they can do what they want, when they want, how they want and it's so disappointing and a little infuriating... 
I NEED to distract myself, I laid in the sun closing my eyes and dreaming of things that are pretty wonderful... A quest to somewhere tranquil and mystical, somewhere that the magic can soak into your skin and bring you to life... A quest for Arthur's Sword - thanks to a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - saw a Knight pause for a moment in reverence before she tried to free the sword from the stone...

Lunch with Mum!

There have been two things about today that need to be paying a lot of attention to. First of them would be the fact that the hour has changed to summertime setting and therefore when we woke up, we had lost an hour of sleep so that it would be lighter for an hour longer each day... 
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, today is Mother's Day in the UK and so I'm spending some time thinking of my mum, missing her a bit and smiling about her a lot... I count mysef as a lucky one, my mum has always been my bestie and I love her even though I don't get to see her enough now I'm living in the NL... So this one is for Mummy...  

I don't get to see her often, like I said, I feel very lucky for the relationship with my mum. I'm also lucky in that I've still got her with me, and it's very nearly a big birthday for her... Mum turns 70 in the week... 
So since I can't be with there in person I'm going to make her a very special SL lunch... A hot steaming bow of the most delicious Paella - from Lucas Lameth - with a lovely green Fresh Salad - from Junk Food - that she can have with some of her favourite ranch dressing and some fresh crusty bread - from Nutmeg... I'll even grab the things I need to make some bubbly tropical mimosas - part of the Gokotta line from Dahlia - and set the table with her favourite spring flowers, a bunch of sunny daffodils... 
Happy Mum's Day Mum!!!

She was a Skater Girl...

Some days I love to be wild and creative, coming up with something from a fantasy that comes to life and sparkles from the screen... Others I feel a little more subdued and want to just try to play around with creating an outfit that makes me happy... It doesn't always have to be super creative for it to look good, and a simple look-of-the-day kinda picture is another way for me to step outta my comfort zone... 

I LOVE playing around with clothes and often find myself creating an outfit that I LOVE but never share in a blog post since I use them more as a basic every day outfit. I'll go out in public in it, but then for some reason even though I LOVE it, I never show it off on my blog... 
Today's look is no exception, I've been wearing this as my day-to-day look for about 2 weeks now LOL... It started with a release called Emme - from miss chelsea at the still running round of Equal10 - which includes the top and lace overtop, jeans and trainers. As soon as I pulled it on, it was like going back to my teens in the 2000s and that's why I've ended up at the skate park. I used to hang out in the skate park and watch the skaterboys...

Sunshine To Defrost In!

Last night I broke free and today I had a wonderful day off... The sun was shining all day and I found myself wanting to curl up in a sunny spot and read a book... I wasn't able to do that, since I have been working so much I had to catch up on the housework... Any moment I had spare, I found myself resting in any sunny spot I came across, I was taking my time to defrost...

I am NOT a Summer girl, I HATE it when it's too hot but the Spring sunshine always feels like it's revitalising. It makes you warm but doesn't feel like it hurts, it gives you energy and happiness and is the perfect dose of vitamin D. Spring is also the time of the flowers, and there are so many wonderful colours and smells and happy moments that go aong with them... 
It's the perfect time to drop my jacket and let the sun warm my skin... A perfect time to defrost...

Breaking Free

I've been at work for the last two days and it's felt like I've been locked up without a chance to go outside and dance in the sun... Now OK I KNOW that's overly dramatic, but I'm tired of working and being an adult lol... I find myself walking around as I clean up after people singing "I want to break free"... 

Rudh had been locked up while I was away at work... She's not going to let that stop her though, she's going to do the thing that I cannot... She's going to break free... HOW? Well, she was looking around the jail cells, trying not to scratch because of the itchy Prison Outfit - from ANTAYA, available now at the Engine Room - when she spotted the LARGE collection of Dynamite - from Static - complete with the Bomb Clock - from Krescendo at the ManCave until April 11th - sitting on the other side of the bars... It didn't take much... The Good Bear on her shoulder was missing, and the Evil Bear - which is a set from Tardfish caled Good Vs Evil Bears - only had to whisper a few words before the candles seemed more appealing...
