Riddle Sideways: come to sit in silence
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Morning Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Rid
Riddle Sideways: Hope it is ok to call you Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Adams said she wouldn't be here
Riddle Sideways: heard somebody else name you that
Agatha Macbeth: Natch
Riddle Sideways: yes, got an Adams email

Riddle Sideways: So, how are you and your world?
Agatha Macbeth: I just put my last garden bin of the year out
Agatha Macbeth: Six months now until it starts again. Phew
Riddle Sideways: Phew
Agatha Macbeth: I HATE gardening
Riddle Sideways: /looks at calendar. Nov-May
Agatha Macbeth: I'm really not an outdoors person
Riddle Sideways: why do you do this thing you HATE?
Agatha Macbeth: Only me to do it
Agatha Macbeth: It will get to the point I'll just say 'screw it' and pay someone else to do it
Riddle Sideways: Probably the law there that you Must have gardens
Agatha Macbeth: I inherited mine, so no choice really

Riddle Sideways: are these gardens nice vegetables or fancy shrubbery ?
Agatha Macbeth: Ni!
Agatha Macbeth: Neither really...just lawns hedges and foliage
Riddle Sideways: Knights
Agatha Macbeth: Oh and weeds
Agatha Macbeth: I prefer days, can see what I'm doing
Agatha Macbeth: Why anyone would actually want a shrubbery I have no idea
Riddle Sideways: with a nice bench to sit upon and read that book of poetry
   --BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Or that
Agatha Macbeth: Fleurs du mal under the arbre
Riddle Sideways: possibly, but can't picture me in that frame

Agatha Macbeth: (Shhh)
Agatha Macbeth: Hey Riddle diddle
Riddle Sideways: ok, turned sound up enough to hear beel now
Agatha Macbeth: Stormy's microwave
Riddle Sideways: really?
Riddle Sideways: never knew that
Agatha Macbeth: I actually re-found that bell
Agatha Macbeth: Wol put a horrible noise in that sounded like a bath falling downstairs
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Agatha Macbeth: So I asked Storm for the original

Agatha Macbeth: Hope he's okay these days
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: will be out near him in a couple weeks
Riddle Sideways: but, tooooo busy to go see
Riddle Sideways: will try to call
Agatha Macbeth: Awww
Agatha Macbeth: Would like to know how and Mrs Storm are
Riddle Sideways: ok ok, will really try

Riddle Sideways: Got the Audible book "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" (almost finished) that was mentioned in the group email
Riddle Sideways: not sure if anybody really wanted a book session
Riddle Sideways: can one say 'I read it' if the phone read it to one
Agatha Macbeth: It didn't seem to inspire many when we tried it before
Riddle Sideways: many anti fiction people here ㋡
Agatha Macbeth: Is it fiction?
Riddle Sideways: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't sure
Riddle Sideways: some kids writing video games
Riddle Sideways: relates to made up worlds and role play
Riddle Sideways: mostly a friendships book
Riddle Sideways: like Eliza said
Agatha Macbeth: Bless her
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: that was a very nice sentiment to pause on
Agatha Macbeth: Paws for thought

Agatha Macbeth: At least I got my favourite cushion today
Riddle Sideways: keep forgetting which your's is
Agatha Macbeth: This one next to the bun
Riddle Sideways: so is this one
Agatha Macbeth: But yours doesn't have this pose
Riddle Sideways: will try to remember that
Agatha Macbeth: I think Bleuji did it as a practical joke :p
Riddle Sideways: thinking that Bleuji is not a practical joker
Agatha Macbeth: Probably not
Riddle Sideways: now, Storm would do that on purpose

Agatha Macbeth: Yay I found my treasure hunt tiara
Agatha Macbeth: Ten years old
Riddle Sideways: wow!
Riddle Sideways: saw the Sunji photos of us all wearing them
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: Tiaras and ego hats
Riddle Sideways: the clue to your plot was hard
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes I remember
Riddle Sideways: had never looked up at your ceiling
Agatha Macbeth: I still have that cup
Riddle Sideways: probably have the outhouse still, but not put it out for some time
Agatha Macbeth: It's at my home and non copy
Agatha Macbeth: So glad to have my home back
Agatha Macbeth: Right next to Quan Yin too
Riddle Sideways: Yes. Nice to have you back
Agatha Macbeth: When your draws are turned up there's an awful lot of people around here
Agatha Macbeth: I can see about 50 on my radar
Riddle Sideways: This sim got very populated

Agatha Macbeth: The welcome centre is empty now
Agatha Macbeth: Where I first arrived on the mainland
Agatha Macbeth: And found PaB
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Recall that Riddle started at a Welcome Center that made you walk a path learning from posters how to walk, turn, cam, jump, etc. before you could go out into the Life
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Riddle Sideways: however, did get one Linden from a tree at the end of the path
Agatha Macbeth: I arrived at one of those
Riddle Sideways: did this welcome center do that?
Agatha Macbeth: Think everybody did in those days
Riddle Sideways: thought so

Riddle Sideways: then how did you get to this welcome center
Agatha Macbeth: You started off at Orienation Island (with the big 'press F1' in the middle), then moved on to a WC
Agatha Macbeth: I landed at Hanja
Agatha Macbeth: Then headed north
Riddle Sideways: and we got lucky
Agatha Macbeth: I think I did
Agatha Macbeth: Just imagine if I'd landed at Violet or somewhere else and never met any of you
Riddle Sideways: nah, fate don't work like that
Riddle Sideways: Violet is the place the bots go when Bieup restarts too long
Agatha Macbeth: Think only bots go there now
Riddle Sideways: is that the hub with all the neked avatars
Agatha Macbeth: More than likely :p
Agatha Macbeth: On the rare occasions I meet noobs now I always point them to Oxbridge
Riddle Sideways: not been a noob stumbling around over here in years
Agatha Macbeth: They don't come to Hanja any more that's why
Riddle Sideways: ever once in a while one would be asking why they could not walk onto our land
Agatha Macbeth: They all land at these new hubs

Agatha Macbeth: Light starting to go here, need to hit the switch :(
Riddle Sideways: ok. RL is awake here and starting to get started
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Agatha Macbeth: 8am?
Riddle Sideways: yep. so much to, so little time
Agatha Macbeth: Just after 4pm here
Riddle Sideways: that funny Time thang again
Agatha Macbeth: Gets dark so early at this time of year
Riddle Sideways: so many people complaining about clocks changing last weekend
Riddle Sideways: car repair guy wanted to go on and on about it
Agatha Macbeth: I was one of them :p
Agatha Macbeth: It is pretty damn silly I think
Riddle Sideways: the hour gained was used setting all the devices again
Agatha Macbeth: I actually keep one clock synched with SL time so i don't forget :P
Riddle Sideways: /singing "Does anybody Really know what time it is"
Riddle Sideways: great
Agatha Macbeth: When is now?
Riddle Sideways: We keep all our clocks on SLT
   --BELL--
