Blog of the week - My Parents Joined Facebook

Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook. No not mine, at least I don’t think so, this is the blog of the week as recommended by Bran da flake. We have all had those parent moments when they come out with something daft or embarrassing, now you can have those moments in print for all to see, once they have joined facebook.

Photo today is the follow on from the last post, this is the same pair but this time on top of a fell called Steeple, to take the shot I had to quickly run back to the top of the adjoining fell while they had a quick rest.

I admire your climbing and hiking abilities Brett.

And again - what beautiful country you live in!

I know you would say the same of where I live with the Rocky Mountains as our backdrop.

I know I will never climb like that again in my life - but I do appreciate photos from those who do.

I feel very fortunate that my parents have not joined FB. Thankfully, email and the telephone are as advanced of communication technologies as they are willing to use.

Thankfully this will never happen to me, parents just not interested in the net. That is a such a relaxing backdrop even if the hike up there isn't.

I was howling with laughter at this one. My husband and I are both on facebook ( I don't really understand it to be honest) and so is our teenage son.I have told us to block us if he wants to but he is quite happy for us to see his pages ( and vice versa). We can't see his chat page ( where I think all the action takes place) unless we comment on it then we seem to see the rest of the dialogue. So we have full permission to be embarrassing.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
