It was an interesting week-end with a number of events.
Saturday evening
Winterfell was hosting the
Winterball, that was part of the
Grand Tour Balls, a series of events covering many nations during the entire week end. It was the usual fun and the
Taure En Lor ballroom if probably one of the best dance floors in SL.
Just across the border of
Ebonshire, on
Mykyl's
Winterfell Faeria we had the weekly PHC. We had many people, including
Princess and
Alphonsus almost full time, and it was fun time, even if these are not good day for
Aianna and she spent most of the time underwater as her mermaid self, like she uses to do when she is down.
It is a pity that the station we used to listen to,
WXXI, is no longer providing a stream outside their website, so we have been forced to find another station for the past few weeks. We are able to listen the
Prairie Home Companion but we miss
The Thistle & Shamrock after that, which takes away part of the tradition.
We were visited by some of the new neighbors in the new sims across the strait. Friendly people, despite the place being a dark vampire RP area.
On Sunday I explored here and there. In particular the
Organized Tours sim. They provide automated vehicles and scripts for organizing tours of SL areas. I am playing with the idea of having a shuttle providing a service between
Star Port and the airbase. I also started working to a small copter to be used as a shuttle. I do not have a lot of scripting experience yet, so i wasted a few hours before realizing that rotating a linked objects is different from rotating a stand-alone object :)
In the evening (European evening) I could not reach the
Molaskey's Pub, where I spend many of my Sundays evening. The Molaskey's Pub is one of the very first places I discovered in SL and I never stopped to go there to listen to their live music. Unfortunately yesterday the sim was always full, and I was never able to TP there.
A bit later there was another event in Winterfell : the
End of Fall Carnival , organized by the
Victorian Ladies Society. It was a splendid event. The true atmosphere of a Carnival with music, dances, stalls, games, tarot reading, cotton candy. Great fun! :)
After the carnival I quickly went to
Beek Haven where I acquired a couple of batteries of SPD guns to deploy at Star Port for the protection of the harbor. I placed two batteries at the opposite sides of the harbor that cover pretty much the entire Bay. I feel safer now :D
The evening ended in the
Aurora Town Tiny Village for Aianna's
Bedtime Stories. These days she is reading
Kipling's
Jungle Book. It is magical to listen to familiar names from the youth:
Mowgli,
Akela,
Baghera ... :)
When the reading ended I was practically sleeping and I am afraid left without saying goodbye. I will have to apologize.
This morning I woke up with RL snow :)
