Spikey’s blog

It was a lovely evening, (as it always is in Immanion) and so I went around taking photos of my house and garden.  I've
built so much stuff myself to keep the prim count low and am actually surprised how 'full' and busy it all looks, and I
still have some prims left over, including the fact that I've now built a little conservatory thing on the flat roof!

My garden ~ The little temple I built is my space devoted to the dehar Miyacala, he brings insight and clarity and
inspiration. 

My outdoor eating space (also made by me) together with my lanterns.  I get through a LOT of wine out here, and usually but not always make it back to the house without falling off the cliff.

My little courtyard garden and bench.

My sitting room.  I made the sofas, Yukio made the awesome fireplace.

The kitchen and eating area.  I made almost everything in here except for the cooking range, but that's the next thing
on my list I want to make for myself.

The bedroom, with all my own furniture in it.

And that's it!  Visitors welcome, so long as you let me know so I can stop you being zapped by my security orb!

Went to one of the prettiest local castles today, Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire...

Various photos of the castle from the moat, the tower and the stable 'floor' (what is left of it!) and then some nice wintry scenes.

IT WAS COLD!

Spikey has a studio.  I can now say, legitimately, 'come up and see my etchings'...or my latest prims...

Visitors are always welcome, just drop in, it's the garret next to the library.

I hope to see you all at the Shadetide festivities tonight, they are RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE so I can stagger back drunkenly afterwards and not fall off stairs and things!  

  

Fellow har and non-har, off till Sunday visiting family and only on DIAL UP *shudders* 

Be bad while I am gone, I'll miss you!

So HOW did I do it?  How did I manage to get my tribal thong and stockings permanently attached?  Nothing else, just those.

I tried everything to get them off.  I put more on and removed them, I changed skins.  I rebooted, cleared my cache, reloaded..but still the damn things remained!

I was forced to be forever wearing my thong and stockings under my jeans, silks, leathers, whatever...until a HILARIOUS evening spent with Yukio and Sinji helping me out of them!!!  Thanks fellow hara, without you I was doomed!  At one point they suggested I wore another pair of pants and stockings over the first pair and then remove them...but what if they got stuck too???  I would have ended up like the Michelin man, getting fatter and fatter and more roly poly with more and more clothes!  FORTUNATELY it worked this time as Sinji shouted instructions from a 'what to do if you get stuck in your underwear' SL help sheet and Yukio fell about in hysterical laughter.  That's it, mock my pain...

Still, as I said, it could have been a LOT worse, I might have been stuck in a pirate hat forever...

Well, second (or is it third) post and things are much better than last time!

I can now walk around without (mostly) falling off things or ending up in the canal, underground (although more on that
later...heh heh heh) or smashing into people and creating some sort of temporarily weird hybrid person.  

It feels so...intimate, don't you think, when that sort of thing happens?  Seeing one's legs or hand appearing through
the other side of a friend.  I mean, I know people are nice and accepting but really, I go too far sometimes...

Anyway, I actually WALKED all the way from my house to the club last night, AND before work today (AND this morning I went a different route...love the carousel btw) AND didn't go wrong.

And yesterday...yeah well, I thoroughly explored the haunted house and then went down through the manhole...

....Yes.

I felt like Alice going down the rabbit hole only with even wilder dreams.  That place is...amazing.  I love it.

And yeah...pole dancing...in latex shorts.  I think I am in love and its shiny and metallic, long and straight...

Whether this is a Brit thing or just all over SL, but this morning has been a BITCH trying to get there.  And when I do, either I am told that 'clothes are downloading but others will see you normally' (gee thanks, do they see me naked or what???) OR if I try to TP anywhere I get logged out.

I know Dark was having exactly the same issues...and JUST when we were going to go and buy some nice latex too...

Damn.  Later then.
