It feels like the part of the world where I live is melting… it’s just been so hot that I’m spending most of my time being a homebody, escaping into the AC. I really can’t imagine living down here in Florida without it, I don’t know how people did it (and sadly, I’m sure there are still plenty of people who do; back in NY they opened up cooling centers in extreme heat so that those without AC had a place to go to cool off). Bottom line, I’ve had a lot of time at home, so I’ve been spending a great deal of it inworld. I’ve been very unhappy with what has happened to the neighborhood for my two mainland lots (one for human habitation, one for fae), so I’ve been shopping for/buying land. And that means re-landscaping which I love love LOVE to do. Small lots are challenging, both in terms of space AND prims, and I’m trying to do both lots without buying anything… just digging deep into the bottomless pits of inventory. It’s amazing what you find! I even found an animated sea turtle in the bottom of MY inventory which is perfect for Thea’s new mermaid area! I’m still waiting for my 2nd lot to come through (it’s on abandoned land), but it’s right next to Thea’s new home, which will really simplify my life inworld rather than having to keep TPing back and forth. That said, I obviously took some breaks to work on shoots… and having just spent a few days in London back in June, this shot was just so much fun, bringing up memories from what was a really excellent time (though it was hot, hot, hot when we were in London, and unlike Florida, air conditioning is a LOT more limited… I thought I was going to pass out on one of those hop on/hop off buses without AC or even a fan! We are so spoiled, but you learn to adjust, no matter where you are, because that’s just part of life! Enjoy it!
