An angel’s life

I had a thoroughly enjoyable time in SL today! I popped in to try and find a new outfit (as one does) , and had got stuck in Crucial Creations (location: X: 110 Y: 175 Z: 42) (SL was on go slow and stop), when my dear RL / SL friend, Ishbel Hartmann, came online.

She invited me over to Minerva (St Andrew’s University’s new island, location: X: 38 Y: 36 Z: 23 - Ishbel’s RL counterpart works there), where she was trying to drive a FedEx lorry off her roof …. I never did find out exactly why the lorry was there! The building holds an exhibition at the moment (Ishbel, you can maybe fill us in with more information) and I was particularly interested in some rare books that were on display - I’ll be back to explore more. I was really taken with the gardens too …. may have to pick Ishbel’s brains about something similar for Dalriada.

We then TP’d over to my place, as Ishbel hadn’t seen it for a while - but it was slow going - I’m guessing it was SL and not our respective PC’s. It was night-time with me and Ishbel commented on the stunning display of stars …. which I couldn’t see! After a wee tutorial, now I realise why everyone raves about windlight!!! It was stunning! I’ll get some shots the next time I’m there - what a difference in the waves and the sky!

With the difficulties in moving, we decided to sit on one of the balconies for a chat and catch up …. I’m trying to persuade her to consider being my neighbour again! Here’s hoping she sells her land soon and perhaps that will help with the decision!

Too soon it was time for the working lass to go to bed, so I decided to resume my shopping trip! Just as I was searching the classified sections, a Group Notice arrived from dear Beacon Becloud, estate manager and counsellor for Northbound, announcing that the Victory over Darkness Bible Study was about to start in one of the rooms in Virtually You. After a frantic search for headphones, and severe mobility problems, I joined them. The only folk I knew were Beacon and Grizzy Griswold (who also has ministry on Northbound) - a sweet lady, DavielovesSusie was her name, I think, gave me a cup of tea and we settled down to listen to the study. I’ll post the notecard later. We had a good discussion afterwards, but, as it was nearly 2am, I made my excuses and left.

It is lovely to have met up with old friends and new!
