Only one step left: Wear the treasure!

Rosa has found the starting point for the treasure hunt in Moyena Valo.

Today when I was strolling around the area near the ranch, I was suprised to see how far the preparations for the annual Semano Semano festival had come. But then again, it’s less than two weeks until this old Viking tradition takes place. This year the theme is very interesting and somehow political. The Rosarians are tired of being treated as they do not excist. The fact that they are denied the right to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest has given birth to the alternative Eurovision - Your Vision. This strongly thematical festival will stream footage from the Eurovision town Helsinki through a tv-channel called DINA. Do you wanna know what’s happening in Helsinki? Join our party in Moyena Valo and celebrate our own L’Angelot.

Yet again Rosario has been denied the right to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki Finland. L’Angelots song La Dek Manto was denied from participating in the contest. And not due to the quality we can say!

Due to this the radiostation La Voco! on Rosario will be playing La Dek Manto repeatedly during the upcoming weeks. Make your vote, by visiting Rosario and listening to the station.

Longa Vivar Rosario!

Mea Karpo and Rosa Martino are enjoying the company of young trainees at Jiraf. Yesterday Jiraf published the names of four young designers that are working with creating new clothing lines. During these festivities a couple of products were reveiled with Rosa Martino modelling for a few of them.

Rosa Martino is modelling the young designers’ accessories.

During the holidays I went searching for places to chill at and found this lovely place where the wolves were watching over me from a rock nearby a waterfall. Amazed by the wilderness I encouraged myself to take a dive into the refreshing water while the friendly wolves howled and enjoyed the harmony of the Serenity Falls. Charming indeed.

The Cemetary on Marinetta has finally been renovated. The old graves have been cleaned and some of the stone has the carvings re-made. The first monument in the honour of the royal family on Rosario has been put up. Residents are asked to keep the cemetary clean and to remove the flowers from the grave when they dry. Hopefully it will remane a peaceful place for both the living and resting.

The ranch has been finally upgraded with a stable. While Rosa Martino is busy on building her greenhouse Mea Karpo and myself had the time to do the finnishing touches on the stable. We put in the boxes and all the equipment of the horses. Outside we put a small field for the horses, but the main exercise will come from the terrain on Rosario and galopping on the beachline.

Later in the day we had Mitch, Kalevi and Indira moving into the stable. They seem to like their new home and will most likely adjust to the new seaside environment well.

Taking Indira out for a ride outside the new stable.

Today the official Skoopf Skates shop opened in Marinetta, just two doors from Jiraf.

The shop sells a range of the best skates available in the whole of Second Life, and they are perfect for skating aorund town, now that flying is no longer permitted within the shores of Rosario.

You can find full details of all Skoopf Murray’s fine products at the Skoopf web site. And you will also find a number of their state-of-the-art bubble-gum machines around the town.

You are now all invited to skate and chew!

I was naturally suspicious, thinking that it was perhaps a prankster playing upon my well-known good nature. Nonetheless I responded, explaing how my good wife (as many of you will already know) has been suffering badly in recent years from what I shall describe here politely as “aches and pains”.

As I replied to the no doubt shapely Miss Collins: how glad I am to be the recipient of such luck! What a change it will make in both my, and my lovely Domina’s, fortunes!

Today I received a second letter indicating that this was no joke at all, but a serious offer of riches. This letter came directly from Mister (or perhaps even Sir) David Rex himself, who told me that he works at UK NATIONAL LOTTERY, 41 Wigmore Street, London W1U 1PJ, United Kingdom. With this simple revelation he reassured me that he was, as the English are so fond of saying, “on the level”.

He asked me to fill in a simple form informing him of a surprising amount of my personal details, and to state whether I would be prepared to go to London to receive my prize or would prefer to have it sent to my bank by courier. Naturally I chose to fly to London. It will be at my own expense, I accept that; but that expense shall come from my winnings, so it is really, my friends, no expense at all.

I am excited beyond measure. The next time I write to you, my loyal chums (if I may call you that) will be from the historical capital of iniquity - London itself.

We do indeed live in marvellous times

This morning I came across an interesting web site called SecondLife Drama. It was interesting for several reasons, one of which was that the founder and editor, Foolish Frost, had written one of the relatively few sane and accurate articles about the recent copybot brouhaha.

More importantly, he has written a detailed downloadable guide to Second Life, which is humourous but technically accurate. I know this to be true because I downloaded a copy myself, and read the first half with great attention. I shall peruse the second half later.

Having done this, I then performed a further two actions. I went into Second Life and registered for membership of the web site at one of the in-world kiosks, and I contacted Mister Frost to ask if we could have one of his kiosks on Rosario.

Fortunately he was briefly in-world and he graciously agreed to drop in and set a kiosk up for us. Since the kiosk also directly dispenses copies of the Unofficial Guide, no Rosarian has an excuse to miss it.
