The Connected Lunch

We're in London, continues...

Connected050508Yesterday Kirsty was in London after performing the night before (at 1:30 a.m. so I couldn't go unfortunately). It's so great to finally spend time together. We went to lunch at our usual place, the Covent Garden Hotel. We both had the tuna because we're both trying to eat lighter and healthier. It was scrumptious. And pink champagne, of course. We didn't see any famous people this time, dammit. Oh wait, Kirsty was there! '-) Her cleavage was so scary that I told her to be careful not to lose a bread roll down there. LOL.

After lunch we went back to my house and spent the afternoon working on Kirsty's new island "Connected" in Second Life. Yes, Kirsty took the plunge and bought an island and put it right next to mine, so now we're neighbors, yay! Our other Real Life friends, Mark Loverush in London and Mary from the U.S (damn, I don't have a photo of her), live on the island too so it will be great to have all the SL and RL friends together. Oh! And Anji Bee from Lovespirals lives there too. Fabulous.

It was a hilarious afternoon, with me at my computer and Kirsty sitting next to me at John's computer, and both of us in Second Life. Since I've had two islands for over a year now, I showed her the shortcuts on terraforming and how to change the ground textures so she has lush, green grass.

We were afraid Mark's "Loverush UK! Digital" zeppelin might be a bit of an eyesore but I actually enjoy seeing it when I look across from my island. It reminds me of what talented and amazing friends I have in Real Life and Second Life and how much fun it's going to be having them as virtual neighbors. I just know Kirsty's parties are going to be more fun than ever.

Two breadsticks, a couple of marbles, and a 'white rabbit' TA DA!!!! It's amazing what i can get away with without a handbag these days.

Thankyou so much for a wonderful day out as always :) love u tons. And can't wait for the next CONNECTED party. I think it would definately have to have a 'rick rolling' element.
