What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
Once in a blue moonidiomdefinition: not very often, rarely What happens to me more and more as the years go by, is that I will all of a sudden question the origins (or is oranges?) of a saying. The other day the expression "once in a blue moon" became such a blip on my radar.... Continue Reading →
While I haven't turned my tiny Second Lifeâ„¢ habitat into a mini winter wonderland just yet, in real life the weather gods have been rather enthusiastic with the white powdery stuff, as if Stockholm is some kind of flawed cake they're desperately trying to cover up. It's been kinda nice the past couple of days,... Continue Reading →
At regular intervalls I get a newsletter from the architecture website archello.com. In one of its recent emails, or it can have been a couple of weeks ago... I get these newsletters on my work account and I have been off for three weeks and am working my way through the email backlog. It's nice... Continue Reading →
Oh how I wish I had a fireplace in my real life apartment. Or maybe one of those Swedish tiled stoves or any other kind of wood burning stove. I realise that using these on top of central heating because it's "cosy" isn't environmentally friendly, but I would happily trade in the radiators in my... Continue Reading →

I just find it so depressing that we haven't even come to the end of a global pandemic crisis yet... Continue Reading →
If with my previous post Valentine's Day was rapidly approaching, with this post it is getting near to the point where it will start banging at your door, insisting to be let in. I of course will meet it with my sincerest grumpy cat impression and tell it NO! But that doesn't mean I can't... Continue Reading →
I think we have finally come to the end of my tour of Castor Cottage, the (for me) huge house I decorated way back when I still did a bit of socialising in Second Lifeâ„¢. These days I tend to keep to myself and I also seem to have lost "voice" somewhere along the way... Continue Reading →
A long long time ago, a century at least, on a sim far far away (on another planet) I was renting the quite roomy Chilmark House by Brook Hill Living. I named it Castor Cottage and spent a lot time decorating it in an eclectic quasi classic style. In this episode of the series about... Continue Reading →
Ever since I lost my large loft some months ago, I have been tinkering with the interior of the Apple Fall Paris Loft, now only available as a re-sale gacha on Marketplace. The nice thing about a small space like this, is that you can easily make it look rather lived-in. The prims you get... Continue Reading →
