It's a Scorcher

It's costume weather!   Get your new togs on and hurry on over to London City and enjoy a BBQ and a paddle in the olympic sized pool (pictured).    There won't be any rain in real life for a good six weeks, so we'll provide some virtual storms to keep you cool!  Temperatures this week are 30c and climbing!

 It's important in this weather to drink as much grog as possible, so check out these terrific deals from lovely Lidl's and crack a bottle open right now!

Substation and World's End today

Thank you to the London City Players for another fantastic concert last night, with Boney M at Pride.

Today at 11am SL time it's Substation Retro with Bailey and Coffee, followed by Katty's World End Cash for Question Quiz on the Beach in London City West (at 1pm SL time).

Summer begins

Today is the solstice, marking the first day of Summer.

The dawn chorus was at 2am, and tonight it will stay light until 10.09pm, and if it's a clear sky, there won't really be a night time until about 11.30pm through to 2am.

Don't you just love the summer?

Celebrating 15 years of Second Life

On a summers day fifteen years ago, Second Life (formerly Linden World in 2001) opened its doors to the public for the first time.

Things were very different then.  Avatars were called Primatars and they were made from the building blocks that were also used in basic buildings of the day.

Next weekend in celebration of Seconds Life's Birthday, everyone on the grid is invited to partake in SL15B, a community celebration with exhibits from the most popular places in Second Life.

We hope you will come and visit London City at SL15B next Sunday when the event begins.

Our Slurl (which comes online next weekend) is: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SL15B%20Electrify/188/5/23

Here is a video of how it all began for the Lab with Linden World.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Your Majesty

Her Royal Highness, The Queen, is marking her official Birthday today as the world's longest reigning monarch.

Although Queen Elizabeth's actual Birthday is on April 21st, she has a second Birthday each year in June.  This allows her to double up on pressies.

She will mark her 92nd Birthday today surrounded by her family at the Trooping of The Colour at Buckingham Palace in central London.

Happy Birthday your Majesty.
