There are many new things about!

New mountains, bestowed by Cog upon the Duchy of Primverness!

(The bridge to nowhere...oh my.)

A new house for us! Well, new to me. We moved to Minesfield Park, one of Grandpapa's old homes, as we needed more space.

(I did not assist with the crates, this time. Never again.)

And...new me.

(I was old and busted - literally - so I suppose now I am 'new hotness.')

The procedure went well...I cannot remember a thing, of course. I was so relieved when my eyelids popped open and the very blurry, blue-tinted world swam into view. (You know how when you open your eyes after a while, the world appears blue? At least, it does to me.)

I was in my nightgown, and I sat up and, once I could speak, begged Sir, in his shirtsleeves and apron, to bring me a mirror. It took some effort to see, as my visual processors were still warming up, but I could tell that my skin was slightly darker, and my hair blonde again. (Sir admitted that he just grabbed the first wig from my collection that came to hand, and attached it hastily, so it was a bit mussy. I suppose that's what humans look like when they awake.)

It was very startling to be looking upon a new face, and yet know that it was my own. It took me a while to get used to it. I like it now, though...Sir has gotten far better at his painting, I look far more natural. My Ceramaskin had been fading before (I am naughty and often do not wear my bonnet or use my parasol), and it looks much fresher now. And I look just a tad older, I think. Sir said he might make me look so, as I am growing up.

So, I have settled into my skin, now...and we are settling into Minesfield. I have been decorating it, and taking especial pleasure in putting photos on the walls.

(There is a very handsome man who lives across Slag Bay...)

And now, I turn the page, to continue on with another subject.

Love,

Lia
