Moving out .....

We've decided to give up our last region, Fort Serenity. We've bought ourselves a parcel on mainland to still have a foot in Second Life and a home for our meeroos. All our waterfalls, streams and caves will still be on the Marketplace of course. I'll write a farewell to Fort Serenity later, but right now that's too painful a subject.

Our cottage on The Great Canadian Grid
We have found quite a fun and pretty new parcel in the region Tan in SL tho .

The sims with quests and stores and jungles and villages will start popping up on The Great Canadian Grid. A great place to live with a very friendly community.  http://www.greatcanadiangrid.ca/

Major have landscaped away some horrible high rise thin mountains that was problably meant to work as a privacy wall.

All my meepets have moved in already in their pretty meeroo habitat and I have placed a house and some trees so now it feels a bit like home.

Meeroos habitat in Tan region  in SL
We have protected water and land on two sides and there is this whole sandbox region next door so we will have plenty of room for creation too.

The meeroos seem to like it here. I tried to shield them from the view of the airport, but it seems that is the way they stand up to look most often. They like shiny things.

Felix and Kata - the best pets in SL




Since I joined SL I've been looking for a nice pet. I've tried dogs and cats but never really found any I was happy with. Then a friend pointed me to to A.I.F Pets, and this is it. The pets I've been looking or all the time. Ones that look lovingly at me (and complain when they get bored). I got two now so they have each other as company. They still complain when one of them is awake while the other sleep tho :)


They are not very cheap to buy, but they aren't expensive compared to the other pets I've bought and they don't cost anything after that. They come with all they need in a basket. Even if you want to buy add-ons like different kinds of food for the fun of it it cost L$ 20 or something like that. They can be dressed too if you like that sort of thing.

I did expect them to cause lag, but the only sign of that has really been since I got two. They can sometimes slow down each other a bit. Walking with them both in complicated places like long winding tunnels in our caves does not slow me down at all and they follow along fine.

I've talked to the creator and due to RL issues she can't work on developing them, but they work well enough and if one should get lost you get a replacement. I can warmly recommend them, and frankly I would have saved a lot of money if I had found these earlier.

Back!

This little fellow convinced me I really need to start blogging again to share things.

A Stratus Nemuni Meeroo from Nepal


I have been thinking about it for a long time anyway but going from thinking to doing is a loooong process.

He's a little miracle that came from a long line of Snowblossoms, (http://www.worldofmeeroos.com/?q=meeroos/meeroo/7458780). You have to dig back at least 3 generations to find a Stratus.

Now I just hope my little Incans will be inspired to make me an Arclight :o)
