This morning, for want of knowing what to do, I joined Facebook, properly. I’ve had a photo up there for a while but a) I couldn’t figure out how it all worked and b) my kids kept telling me how sad it was that I (an oldie) wanted to be on Facebook. Sophie-G’s cry of disgust when her father asked “to be her friend” was akin to stepping bare foot onto a half ingested, regurgitated mouse left lying around by our cat Crumble. (Ever since Crumble lost her tail – and we delight in kidding a few visitors that all cats in Switzerland are without tails – she pays us back for the vet bills in mice).
This morning it is quiet in the house. Ollie is having a driving lesson, Lexi is at pony camp and our cool-o-meter (Sophie-G) is in the jungles of Ecuador. Far enough away for her un-cool mum to join Facebook.
Nahnahdeenahnah. Come join me
So am I— FB has recently become a Swofford family meeting place.
AArghhh the preassure to be on Facebook. I feel like I’m missing out but am I too old at 43??!! This is how much I know: I said to my partner Mark a while ago ‘Should I be on Myface?’ He laughed himself senseless!
Love your blog Jules, so cool and so spot on!
Tamara
Thank you for commenting Tamara and welcome to the blog. I get laptops and PCs muddled and the other day my son said to me at the end of a confusing conversation,
“Is a PC to you a lap top?” PS Don’t see the point in Myface to be perfectly honest but then again I have this blog on which to beat my drum…
