You Had Better Prepare Yourselves

I actually got a very helpful note card from one of the organizers of this event, none less than Mr Kahvy Smith himself.

This young man knows what we lazy bloggers want, so after deleting about 223 excessive exclamation-marks, and all the text in CAPS LOCK (and there was a lot of it, let me assure you), I am now ready to post an on-your-marks-post for this event.

Starting April 1, 2017! Mark your calendars now!

Amazing gifts by some of SecondLife's top designers, the least humble and least talented among all these Giants is The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls etc, etc.

The gifts contain furniture, decor, clothing, accessories, tattoo's, gadgets and poses!

Nifty Trick & More

This was good to learn!

Another good thing I learned today was the meaning of the word "facetious". I have stumbled upon it from time to time earlier but have neglected to check it's meaning earlier.

Facetious, /fəˈsēSHəs/, adjective: treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

Midsummer's Eve

Today is the day of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. The solstice marks the peak of summer and takes place when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. After today, the days get shorter until the winter solstice on December 21 when they start to get longer again.

The day is also called Midsummer's eve and is in Sweden, together with Christmas, the traditionally most celebrated holiday of the year. Midsummer is however without a doubt the most loved of the two. Contrary to Christmas there is no pressures or obligations of consorting with relatives, cooking huge festive meals or buying gifts.

On midsummer you hang out with friends and people you like. No gifts are involved and meals can be extremely simple to prepare but still delicious. Besides the weather is warm, daylight lasts around the clock - almost - and it never gets really dark though.

For meals you can get by with boiling small, new potatoes (preferably just washing them lightly in water first to get the dirt off but without peeling them) with some dill, boiling a couple of eggs, opening one or more cans or jars of pickled herring, pouring up some sour cream and cutting some chive. Nothing more is needed except possibly beer or aquavit for snaps. For dessert you simply use fresh strawberries with some cream and a little sugar (if you must). It's absolutely delicious!

If you wish, you can go out go into the bright summer night and pick seven different kinds of flowers and tuck them under your pillow, so that maybe - if you're lucky - you may dream of your future husband or wife. 

Happy Midsummer, dear friends and readers of Bock in SecondLife!. 

Egg Hunt at *Virtually Gorgeous*

I got an IM from my sweet friend Carol Pixelmaid, fashion designer and owner of the soon-to-be-famous *Virtually Gorgeous* label and store in SecondLife.

"Hey Bock, I am having a little Mini Easter Egg Hunt at my store, and I wondered if you would pass the note on to your friends, or alts, the outfit is cute and the hunt is easy."

If I were you I would not believe the easy part of that message (I still remember with dread the time I spent five hours in Vampi´s shop trying to find another "easy" egg), but here are some more instructions for you.

"*Virtually Gorgeous* is having a mini Easter Egg hunt, throughout the month of April.

The Hunt consists of, 6 eggs, each containing a gift, that make up the "Sexy Chick Look" The Yellow Easter Eggs are hidden around the store! *Virtually Gorgeous* Main Store (SLurl) 

Make sure you join in the Easter Fun, and get yours!

Hugs, Carol Pixelmaid <3"

When you get to the store inworld, please note that Carol also has a store with furniture and more cool stuff next to the fashion store. I am hoping that,you have already noticed that I have a link to Carol´s store blog Virtually Gorgeous in my blogroll.

Ughhh this reminds me I need to start thinking about making Easter cards, with my blushing bride Iendi craving all my intention that will be difficult... Why are women so difficult to satisfy, I wonder?

UPDATE April 2, 2012: I can now proudly report that I concluded the egg hunt yesterday. It took me about an hour to find the first one, but after that - when I had figured out how the sneaky little Carol was thinking - I found all six eggs in about 20 minutes. It was fun!

The Swedish Easter hunt is on!

We are hunting from April 1st - April 11th.

The locations of the hunt differs. It can be a full sim or just a smaller parcel. Although most are shops or stores some can also be a place where someone lives.

Sometimes the eggs are well hidden and sometimes not. There should be a hint if the egg is more than 30 meters from where you land.

This is not the kind of hunt where you get a landmark for the next place to go in the egg. We do it a bit differently.

There are TWO first locations in the hunt.
Start location 1 - Swedish Institute
Start location 2 - Vampi´s shop at OrmDricka

You can go to either of these start locations to get the complete note card, which includes all the 19 places where the Easter eggs can be found, by clicking on the board which has the picture at the top of this post!

The Easter eggs all look the same.

When you find the eggs just right click them and buy for 0 LD or - in some cases - only click to get the contents. The eggs contain original content only (i.e. NO shitty overused freebies...)!

Good luck!



My humblest excuses to the Queen of all Queens, Ms PetGirl Bergman (lovingly known as "dronningen"), for my delay in posting this!
