Last week, after much pressure from family, both Mrs Keef and myself have created Facebook accounts and it has opened up a new whole new world to us.
We hadn't realised that so many people's lives are ruled by such a pointless and mind numbing experience as sharing your life with friends, family, friends of friends, fiends of family and people you would not choose to associate with if your life depended on it.
According to my Inbox:-
"Jethro Bonwakkit is now friends with Flora Margarine and 20,000 others" - so freakin' what!
"Paul Dancer has changed his profile picture" - I never saw the old one!
and the other 26, or more, daily email notifications contain equally mind numbing information of no consequence whatsoever.
We recently spent a week away with the family and the younger, trendy couple (old but only in their 20's), the ones with the iphones and no interest in anything else spent the entire week, keeping up with what their friends were doing.
Even at the breakfast table they were tapping messages into their 5 inch x 3 inch windows on the world. During one particular outing we had a very close encounter with a buzzard which flew up at the side of the road and brushed it's wing feathers against the windscreen as it passed across the front of the moving car. I saw it, well I was driving, Mrs Keef saw it, the Reluctant Hiker in the back saw it but the Facebook fanatics missed it completely as we later discovered, their friend Shona Patience had just successfully managed to get a soldier to fit into a boiled egg.
My Facebook experience lasted a total of 9 days before I decided to delete the account and continue my interactivity with other members of the human race by telephone, email and in person.

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck
