Backyard Camping Treats!

Since I am stuck at home today, and even though it's my normal day off and normally I wouldn't be complaining about being at home, I had a really strong desire to be getting outside, and there was no way I wanted to go round people so into the back garden I was going... 
It was a warmer day than expected, so I decided to make the most of it and make it one last fun day of Summer... 

Some of those summer days when I was a kid would be spent camping in the backyard, at least we'd lay there and just magically wake up in our beds in the morning as I believe Dad had carried us up to bed when it got late and we were asleep... 
One thing we never did though was make Smores - or is it S'mores, I don't know how it is written really - it's one of those American traditions that were never really a thing when I was a kid in the UK... It's something I've ALWAYS really wanted to try and do, but I've never really managed to try it properly... So while I'm lazing in my pop-up tent to read and watch my Cozy Campfire - from Krescendo - I pulled out the Junk Food Smores kits and hand to give it a go..

Why do I always get sick?!

Someone tell me why?! I have a question that I NEED an answer to... Someone tell me why, whenever the season changes do I seemingly instantly catch a cold and feel like shit?! 
It's like as soon as the season decides it's time to change whether it's to Spring or Autumn, and other's start to get coughs and sneezes, I am automatically primed to get sick... It didn't take long but yep... I've got the lurgy... 

I came home early on Saturday. I tried hard but I hadn't actually been able to work a full shift... 
I spent MOST of today, curled up in my bed snoozing and I was trying to read in the time that I wasn't asleep. I wanted to do some SL things but it didn't take long before I found myself being escorted back to bed with a bowl of chicken soup, a cup of tea, my squishy plushie Louie Cat - from Snuggle&Co -  and my choice of a favourite movie to relax... He wouldn't let me Lord of the Rings, so can you tell what I forced him to watch?! LOL... Do you have a favourite go to movie when you want something comforting? Oh and before you answer that, can you pass me some more paracetamol?!

Harvest Treats Time!

I know that Autumn doesn't officially start until September 22nd, but that isn't about to stop me from getting into the Autumn Spirit as it's my favourite time of the year... I LOVE the autumn, and although I'm trying hard to avoid all things pumpkin right now, I'm going to start letting the leaves fall, collecting the conkers that the trees gift us and wrapping myself in lots and lots of snuggly blankets while I cuddle a cup of tea and read a book... 
There are a few tasks that I have to get done this time of year... I started to assist the mushroom folk in their harvest, and today I get to harvest something even more magical... 

Being a magical being has it's perks and that's why the plants in my perfect little magical greenhouse are now ready for the harvest of some very interesting treats... The Sugarfora - from dust bunny at  kustom9 until September 10th - have been growing hard and have some delicious treats for us this year... The hanging Macaron, the Donut Tree and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Bush keep me happy with delicious treats all Winter if I am lucky, I have already got a crop of Iced Pink donuts - in a bucket from Junk Food - and am testing the chocolate chip cookies which I have to tell you are DELICIOUS!!!

The Walk of Shame

Yesterday was my 19th Second Life Rez Day and that meant that she has now enterd the final year of her SL teens... That's a big scary thought... I've been in SL for nearly 2 decades... WHAT THE HECK where did time go???
Of course, being the typical teenager that she is, it was definitely a good reason to go out for a little party!!!

Now that a new day has begun, and in my neck of the woods almost finished, Rudh willbe suffering the consequences of her fun time out partying... When you get old it always seems to feel harder after a drink or two. Maybe that's just me but I aways end up feeling yucky the next morning, and hangovers definitely last a week or more LOL...
She made the walk of shame home this morning... The lights were just coming on in the houses as people were waking up to start their days... She´d decided that the hair of the dog was a good idea, carrying home with her a Wine Box of Pink Moscato - which is an Anthology release from Junk Food - that may or may not be leaking over her shoes... Just gotta hpe she can get home before HellBone wakes up...

Pineapples!

I don't very often get cravings for things, I tend to allow myself to always have a little of what I want because if I start craving something and eventually get my hands on things, then I will eat far too much and end up feeling yucky... On hot days like this, I am drinking so much water but I like to eat something salty so that it helps as I'm sweating. I don't tend to go for something sweet...
Fruit is delicious but I get picky and go through phases of what I want... There is a fruit on my mind at the moment... PINEAPPLE! 

I am not  HUGE pineapple fan, I have to say I don't love it, and it certainly doesn't belong on pizza, but when it's hot and summery, there is just something about Pineapple that makes me want lots of it... 
Rings, Sticks, Crushed into icy drinks or pulped into Ice Cream... Everything is going to be so delicious... The smell of the delicious pineapple is even luring in the little pineapple fae... Aren't they cute?!

Cutting Board: Junk Food - Pineapple Tray

Birdies on the Boardwalk!

They often say things manifest in threes... Good or bad, there is always a possibilty that when you have something bad happen, if a second bad thing occurs you may start being more cautious as you wait for the third thing... At least I do anyway, and I'm really hoping that the same goes for when you're seeing good things happen... I'v had two good things, I hope that it's true and a third thing happens to me soon... 
Today was the second day of seeing good things happen... Let's take a walk on the boardwalk by the beach and I'll tell you all about it... 

The boardwalk seems a little deserted today, though there was definitely a party last night if the mess is anything to go by... Either that or it's the GIANT Gulls that are having a party of their own - they are part of the Don't Feed Gulls Gacha collection by Aardvark at the Arcade until August 17th - but I guess that was bound to happen with so much food waste left around the place... They look like a happy, healthy bunch, but I'd avoid the the one near the bench that's trying to break into a bottle of Slorona - which is comes from Junk Food - he has a knife and well, that's gotta be dangerous... 
Onto the two good things though, since that's what you're really curious about... While on vacation I put 3 plushies up for sale on eBay - mum sells things she buys at carboots that way so she really did the selling I just provided the items - and made ten times what I paid for them! Then today, the second good thing happened, I was accepted back as a blogger for a store I missed working with SO MUCH... I am now a blogger for Aardvark once more... SO... Two good things, I wonder if or what a third thing could be?!

Packed and Ready to Go!!!

OK it's here, today will be the last post I make before I say farewell and get overly excited...

I'm packed and ready to go, everything is ready and waiting and it's just ONE MORE SLEEP!!! 

I mean I will be heading to the UK but I'm definitely going to be a passenger princess... HellBone drives, and I sit... The ferry captain and his crew drive, and I sleep in a comfy bed with my own private toilet in a cabin onboard... Then HellBone drives across the UK to my Mummy and Daddy's while I sit... 
I've made sure that everything is packed, I'm wearing something comfy - which happens to be the miss chelsea Mina Set that is available now until August 6th at Equal10 - I've got the passports AND I've packed a Summer Picnic Basket - from Junk Food - with lots of snacks... I CANNOT WAIT!!!

A Hangry Panda!

What do you do when you cannot plan on what you want to do for dinner? I torture myself every night with this question, and I KNOW it's hard when you are on your own but it feels just as hard when your partner says "I don't know, surprise me?" That answer makes me want to slap him... 
Try as hard as I might to be good and plan to cook something, or get the hubby to cook something since he seems to enjoy cooking, sometimes I cannot be arsed, and pull up the delivery app... Pizza, Ribs, Curry, Sushi, all of those things are delicious, but a Chinese meal seems to hit different...

I mean I LOVE SUSHI or a Curry, but noodles always seem to hit better when they are cooked at the take-away... Things are different here in Holland than they are in the UK, and when I go home next week I am hoping I'll get my hands on some sweet and sour chicken balls LOL, but until then I'm biding my time and just dreaming of Chinese food...

Summer Beach Work

I work in retail in RL, I'm sure you may have seen me say that once or twice... I'm currently watching a British TV series called "Death in Paradise" and I think that at the moment these things are coming together in my mind so that I ended up on a paradise beach selling fruits... It sounds like a perfect place to be right now... 

Death in Paradise is set in the Caribbean, filmed in Guadaloupe although the island in the stories is imaginary... 
Now if I was relaxed enough to be chilling on the beach, playing or perhaps just making noise on my Ukulele - a release from Junk Food, available until July 17th at Anthology - I don't think I'd be looking as comfortable as I am... Sitting around at my Seabreeze Fruit Shack - a release from Dust Bunny for this year's Summerfest event - I think I'm likely to be more than a little sunburnt!!!

Time for a Sunday Sundae!

It's Sunday, a very lazy Sunday because it's a very HOT Sunday... I've seen people laughing about how people in England complain about the heat, well I'd like to point out that since our homes don't tend to be built to let warmth out but keep it in instead. I admit I HATE hot weather and am looking forward to when it starts to cool down again, but until then and since it's lazy hot Sunday, I think it's time we tried to cool off with a Sundae?!!

I have to be quick with this post since I dont want most of the Ice Cream to melt, the only melted Ice Cream should be that which is used in the making of some fancy Retro Milkshakes - like the ones in the set with the machine from BROKEN ARROWS - whilst the rest of the Ice Cream is used to make some Classic Banana Splits - like the one from Hangry. We have So many delicious toppings, with fruit and chocolate, syrup and whipped cream... 
Seems like our puppy friend couldn't wait though LOL...

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

A lot more Pride, a lot less Prejudice!

Love is love and that's all that matters, or at least it should be... With everything going on in the world right now, from wars that are on going or scarily close to starting, and wannabe kings holding parades that resemble celebrations held for monarchs of distant lands, and even closer to home with people striking for more money and causing masses of chaos for everyone else... It feels so much more important to celebrate love for those who have always faced stigmatism, because we should all be allowed to love, and it might make the world a better place... 

Pride in Amsterdam comes a little later in the year but right now other places are celebrating Pride... I'm always willing to celebrate love, and I KNOW that it's easier said than some people agree to but I want to send huge hugs to everyone... I guess these days I'd consider myself an Ally more than any other letter in the LGBTQ+ range, testing the water at university and my early 20s doesn't really count but I do firmly believe that love is love. It shouldn't be up to any one person to say who another can or cannot love - unless there is a lack of consent or confusion from an involved party and illegal things are happening of course... Like the sign says, I can't believe we're still protesting this shit... It's 2025, let people be who they want, let people live as they want... 
Pride at Home is happening, as are many other Pride events, right now and I want to take a moment to reach out. The world needs more Pride, less Prejudice, I mean isn't there enough crazy shit going on in the world that people also want to control who others love too?!

Do you like Scary Movies?

On days off I tend to love reading and taking pretty pictures in SL, I'm sure you've guessed all that by now, but my hubby is definitely MUCH more of a movie freak... I am not particularly a movie watcher. I have my firm favourites, I will get lost in my mind any time I watch the LOTR and Princess Diaries is my go-to make me feel better kind of movie... HellBone loves all different kinds of movies, Horror being his go-to... 

Watching movies these days is NOTHING like it used to be when I was in my teens or even early 20s. When I was a kid or even a teen, I remember nights when Mum and Dad said we could rent a video to watch from the local video shop. We didn't have a Blockbuster, but there was a local family owned video shop - a bit like the backdrop from blaink - but by the time DVDs were becoming a thing, the shop was beginning to close it's doors... 
I am NOT  a scary movie fan though, HellBone loves them and likes to terrorise me, making me watch them sometimes... Last time I jumped so much during a scary scene that I spilled my drink and dropped my dinner... Rudh got so scared in the video store today that she threw one of the slices of pizza that she'd stolen from the clerk on the desk...

A Campfire Dinner

It's been a lovely weekend off for me,my weekend tends to be Sunday and Monday as I work on Saturdays. Gone are the times when Saturday and Sunday were considered a weekend for people. Monday to Friday work weeks still exist, but I haven't had a Saturday Sunday weekend in a long while... 
So while it's been my weekend, I've had a lovely few days to do things I enjoy. I went to second hand stores and found tons of wool for my blankets, and made some delicious food for dinners - as well as treating myself to a cheeky KFC Kip-Salon that is only available for the Summer, I know I'm naughty - but I didn't get what I really wanted... 

Now that the sun is making itself more known than it has so far, and it's officially the start of Summer and therefore BBQ Season... I'm craving BBQ so much because realy there is nothing like chargrilled meat and warm salad lol... 
Though I have been watching videos on Youtube of people cooking things on the grill... There have been people cooking Steaks and Chicken in campfires which seemed to coincide with a delicious set of Campfire meals of the Junk Food variety... Campfire Steak for Hell and Campfire Chicken for me, and perhaps he'd let me have a little taste so long as I'm a good girl that eats my veggies... I'll even serve it up with some fresh Pink Lemonade... 
Now I have to go find a snack LOL...

The Teddy Bear's Picnic!

I know sometimes the blogposts that I come up with are random. I love that I don't stick to particular style of picture taking and I find that it lets me relax - as I've said before it's my own personal form of therapy - I never know what will happen when it comes to making pictures and it lets my creativity flow. I can start with one simple item and from that a story develops... Today was one of those days... 
Today I found myself disappearing down a rabbit hole, and into nursery rhyme land... 

If you go down in the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise.

If you go down in the woods today, You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

I used to love this nursery rhyme... I mean who am I kidding, I still do... I remember as a little kid being in the woods near my home, teddy in hand, as we hunted for the location of the Teddy Bear's Picnic... Apparently it wasn't initially meant to be a song like it is now, the melody was written in 1907 and the lyrics were added later in 1932 - I wonder what the composer thought of the adorable little nursery rhyme his melody became?! 
So today, in my tired and wanting to go back to the UK for a bit brain, I decided to let my mind wander off to the Teddy Bear's Picnic... I packed up a picnic, that wasn't entirely Junk Food, and slipped into a disguise as suggested in the song. I found the most amazing Ursa Bear mask - a head from BeSpoke that can still be picked up at Abnormality until May 28th - so that I could be in disguise...

Forever Blowing Bubbles

I am chasing a sugar high, I've had a day off today and I'm feeling so sleepy that I think I've been just walking around only half awake... HellBone took me out in RL and we did a little bit of fun stuff, but I didn't find what I wanted and needed so it felt somewhat disappointing too... I need something sweet as a treat... 

I LOVE Candy... I love chocolate, but if I had to pick I would ALWAYS go for something gummy, not the marijuanna laced gummies, but just the chewy, often fruity and sweet kind. I like them sour and with the foamy bits too... These are my happy candies... 
When I was a teenager though I always had gum, bubble or regular, but I ALWAYS had some... I loved Hubba Bubba - or in the Second Life case the Slubblicious Gum from Junk Food, which comes in 6 different delicious flavours - it makes me feel all candilicious again... Like some bubble-pop sunshine pastel rainbow cutie!

A Gang of Trash Pandas

On my day off today I've been more than a little lazy. We had some news this morning that made me feel shell shocked and has left me hanging until we have more news... It's made me feel like a grumpy, cantankerous, old lady that wants to do nothing more than read her book and eat junk food... I'm not complaining, we're all allowed to have days like that, today is my day... 

Today I'm living my best life like a Trash Panda, and there will be no fucks given... 
I'm sitting around on the couch, though it may well be a wearable trash can - like the one from Junk Food - for all the mess I have around me. I'm piled under books, knitting and right now my laptop as I write my daily nonsense... 
Visually it would look like me sitting in a trash can in an alley, outside the Neon Cherry Club - with Cherry Skull Neons from Six Feet Under - with my crew of Trash Pandas, looking for a delicious treat...

Mexican or Tex-Mex?! It All Tastes GREAT!!!

Today is important for a few things... In the Netherlands it's Freedom Day, the day liberation from Nazi occupation in 1945, so the whole country is celebrating. It's also an important day for the Mexican's who are celebrating their victory against the French in 1862... Now I will totally be the first to admit that I'm NOT at all sure of anything relating to this important day for the Mexicans, but I'd love to learn... Maybe we should make a little fiesta of it... 

Now OK I will also admit that I'm not sure about anything Mexican really either... It´s a country that I want to visit, it´s on my bucket list and maybe one day I wil make it down there, but for now I hope people will excuse me if I mix up Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines... It's not really something that is differentiated between where I am in the world... 
I've tried to cater for everyone, because let's face it, it's ALL DELICIOUS... A huge pot of chili in the crock pot, and a HUGE plate of loaded nachos... I have Chicken Quesadilas and Beef Empanadas, that I hear go best with a glass of whiskey on the rocks... I'm going to Tex-Mex it up with a few Chili Dogs - from Junk Food - and maybe serve those with a shot or two of Ole Jose Tequila to wash everything down...

A Delicious Easter Brunch

Yesterday was Easter Sunday and we saw a visit from Easter Bunny who filled my home with chocolates and yummy things, and today the Easter feeling continues as it is Easter Monday... 
For those that follow Christianity or Catholicism, this weekend has been one of spiritual importance, made a little sadder this year due to the death of the current Pope. For people like me it's more about the adorable Easter Bunny and his delicious Easter treats...
Today, HellBone and I have finally had some time for a delicious Easter brunchfast... 

The Easter Bunny did us a MASSIVE delicious brunchfast, with all the lovely things he brought... 
There were some amazing Hot Cross Buns - from vespertine - which are a staple for me for Easter Breakfasts from when I was growing up in the UK and they are something I dearly miss now that I don't live there. The bunny wanted us to have them with chocolate and ice cream, which seemed weird but I'm willing to give everything a go... There were dippy eggs to eat with toast and croissants, and MASSES of chocolate in the form of chocolate bunnies, my favourite tiny chocolate eggs and some of the delicious Junk Food Primbury Eggs - HellBone is addicted to the real Cadbury's Creme Eggs and these are the closest I've found in SL...
