A Spot of Gardening

It's Good Friday, a lot of people are having a long weekend and therefore they are home from work or even on vacations... This means that the number of people in Amsterdam has swelled and we were BUSY AS ALL HECK today, I'm kinda dreading tomorrow... I've been messaging my parents today on and off, and they have been busy in the garden, I wish I'd been able to do that... I'd have loved to have been in the garden today...

I am NOT a gardener, though I have been loving working on the garden HellBone has built for me in Second Life... I am addicted to our home sim, and it's somewhere I'm still working on decorating things - I'll never be like some of the AMAZING landscapers in Second Life - but it's my perfect little contryside, Hobbitty home... 
We have Hell's greenhouse full of beautiful Cacti, our beach cove, and the adorable little market. There is a farmyard filled with cows, goats, sheep and chickens, although the Silkie Chickens - from Aardvark, available until May 8th at ACCESS - are still settling into their new home. I've also been working on the vegetable garden, I had to start before the goats get loose, I mean it is the time of year for a spot of Spring Gardening...

Backstage with the Band

I am a child born in the 80s, and raised in the 90s. I was a fan of one of the UK's first - and if I may say so best boybands Take That - and although I was a fan of them I also fell hard for one of the most important grunge boys to ever hit the music scene. My early teenage years would have been NOTHING with Mr Kurt Cobain... On one hand there was Mark Owen, the other was Kurt... I was a cheesy pop, grunge diva kinda girl... I was the kinda girl at school hung out with the skateboarding boys, wearing a hoody and plenty of eyeliner... Listening to the angsty kinda music that drove my Dad bonkers... 

I had a teenage crush on Kurt Cobain for so long and was mortified by his death... I had a jealousy toward Courtney Love, purely because she was his other half, although I LOVED listening to her band Hole... 
Rudh got all excited when she heard that there was a Shotgun Pop-Up event with a Grunge theme... Her and her mates had already decided to try and get a gig with their grunge band, the Free Candy, and rocked up to their first show with an old truck - a truck from Bad Unicorn - loaded with gear... Dressed in an outfit that pays homage to Miss Love's style back in the 90s - thanks to an amazing release from miss chelsea for the Shotgun Pop-Up Event - she's ready to rock out and find her own Nirvana...

Last Minute Shopping for those Last Minute Gifts

I have been stuck so deep in RL, it's been crazy since the start of the week, and while working in retail at this time of year can be fun it can also be super crazy busy, and people can be more than a little obnoxious. I never thought I'd be horrible to someone in retail but having experienced it in reality, on the receiving end, it's no wonder that people hate working in retail at this time of year... 
Still, there's only one shopping day left before Christmas, and I have a couple of things that I need to get, so I'll pop out to the shops, trudge through the snow and disappeared into the shops... 

The shops have some of the most wonderful window displays like the pretty little scene declaring "Santa Stop Here" - a sign that I shrunk down to fit in the scene from Krescendo - whilst I warmed up with a delicious cup of fresh Christmas Expresso - from Junk Food - complete with it's adorable little elf hat and handy candy cane to stir it with. 
I was so lost in plans for the holidays and looking into the shop window that I almost missed my friendly Prezzie Bear - from Tardfish until the end of today at Tannenbaum - stumbling around on the sled... I had to jump fast to catch him and the gifts from falling into the snow... Cant risk a little friend like him getting hurt so close to Christmas...
