Steelhead

I guess I didn't land in Steelhead with as much noise as I have landed at my other homes.

I have chronicled the various moves I have made around sl and how I ended up living in Caledon Southend. Now I just need to add how the circle has been completed with my arrival in Steelhead :)
Back when I first went house hunting I found a block of land at Wyre and a block of land at Steelhead. I was torn. Couldn't decide which way to jump.
I met Krystine Qinan while I was wandering around and she invited me along to one of the Steelhead town meetings. What an outrageous event that was. I had never seen anything so funny in sl.
I cant even remember what decided me in the end. I loved the community at Steelhead, but Wyre had a quiet wildness. I chose Wyre. History happens, I moved and moved, and ended up in Caledon.
In the lead up to Christmas, I was feeling a little overwhelmed by Southend. So much going on, so many people passing by. I loved it, but I needed a little space. I guess I was also feeling a bit confined after being used to the freedom and space of Fathom. Anyhow, I heard on the wind that a new sim was being added to Steelhead, and there is some charm in being an early settler so I found myself a spot and waited for it to be ready. Meanwhile I ran home to Southend, erected a sky platform and began building a light house. You can see a picture of it in the blog entry for 30th January.Soon as the block was ready I dropped the light house on it and there it is, looking mighty handsome in my opinion.
Since the end of Christmas crazy, I dont seem to need the Steelhead house so much and have turned it into a shop. Today someone bought the first thing from it!

Another first- today I got myself to the town meeting. This is the first time I have managed to stay for a whole meeting as normally I am at work.
The meeting is chaired by Fuzzball, who I think deserves a medal.

Let me say this: They are stark raving mad
I have nothing further to add.

Visitors

I love show and tell.. but I don't get to play that any more at NCI because of work hours....
So for show and tell, I have to abduct innocent victims and drag them to Wyre.

Today I dragged Sandplum and Visciouspen to see my house and sit in my garden. They said all the right things and I hope they come again!
The subject of conversation was " to have a real life picture or not in profile". What do you think?

Installing a lighthouse

Today I received an IM from Grandma Bates. Was I ready to have a guest? Of course! And always.
As you know, I had plans to build a light house on the island and I had just received an IM from Otenth Paderborn giving it his approval and some advice about how to clear the island.
I intended to first pack up my things and then carefully go through the instructions. I had almost packed up my own things when Grandma teleported in.
Grandma arrived to see the almost empty cottage. As there wasn't much to show here otherwise, I quickly rezzed the proposed lighthouse on top of us (whoops) then shifted it over the top of the original cottage.
I was chatting away with Grandma and mostly watching my fingers as I typed. I must have some how moved the cursor from the dialogue box... and I deleted everything left on the island!

So what option had I but to immediately install the lighthouse and contents. And here are the pictures!

Sun sets over Aud Isle.
Xavier Felwitch had already suggested that with my island's location, sitting on a veranda watching the sunset would be a delight, but before the relocation, the trees were in the way.
The new arrangement should make it a charming possibilty.
