Dumped

The internet is a great place, lots to see and do, wonderful people to meet and a great place to do your own thing. I read lots of blogs and over the years have had a share in many different moments, from walking with Penguins to fusion belly dancing, from rainy commutes in Paris to Sunday markets in paradise. I never imagined that my pictures would be seen around the world and that my blog would form a small part of people daily routine, yes the internet is great, but it can have its dark side.

Now I’m not a great “keeper in touch” type of person, I leave that to Caz, it is not that I don’t care; it is just that I forget to make the effort. Take today, one of my oldest friends has gone into hospital and I really meant to contact him before hand to wish him luck, but just never got round to it. Having said that I do use sites like Facebook to try to touch base with people, even if it’s just to say hello once a year and its on Facebook the dark side of the internet entered my home yesterday, I got dumped. Now before all you girls start emailing me it was not by Caz, we are still very much together, it was by someone I thought was a good friend even though we did not communicate all that often.

How did I get dumped you ask, well this person deleted me from her friend list in Facebook, no ambiguity there then, but it does leave a bad taste in your mouth. It also makes you wonder what you have done, I have people listed as friend on Facebook that are just people from work, I don’t interact with them and their being on there does not inconvenience me in any way, so to delete someone is a very deliberate act, if only she had had the courage to do it to my face, I could have found out why. My thoughts on friendship are that you don’t have to be there holding their hand all the time, but just be there if asked, this person was one I thought very highly of, she was great fun and a great example in how to get on when life tries to stop you.

Picture today is another view from the week in the lakes; it is taken from Black crag over looking Ullswater.
