Facebook Feelers and Pa!

It has been a bit of a daft week in the 'real world'. Lots of stories of people stuck and displaced. Before I say what is important to me, I must just empathise with those that are stuck with elderly relatives or children. Disclaimer Done!

I was just about to Blog and decided to check out the meanderings of fellow Donut Children. Just as well I did, as was going to Blog about idiot Brits that do not understand what a Volcano can do....erm having just watched the wonderful way Captain Eric Moody on Flight 747/BA dealt with the failure of four engines over the Indian Ocean and got everyone home safe! Seems there is a lot of hardship out there...hmm but would you want to be on that plane????

Face book has been quite interesting recently. One friend, living abroad, had her email account hacked into. All the old schoolies, contacted and protected her. The old school network continues, a few Donut Children were stuck and through Facebook we were all trying our best to get displaced persons home. One Donut Child managed to get person from Rome to Calais. Resourceful, amazing and 'well 'ard'! Donut children prevail!

Back to matters at home. My beautiful little sister came home from Oz last Friday with her daughter. We had a wonderful reunion. I was taking some photo's and Pa said 'Go away, I am not posing for these, I do not agree with Face book or its premis'. I guess I let him get on with it and did not comment. Little sis just took them and posted 'em!

I suppose Pa is 'old school' and prefers to be that way. What he does not realise, is that my Face book account is a sanitised version of my life. Only polite things must be muttered on ones FB account. Games played, points gained and nothing harsh must be said. No politics, no opinions....just a little fun, ah....and looking after, keeping in touch with those that you love! Face book can be used for a serious purpose but only when we want it to. That, Pa...is the difference.

Sleep Safe all you Donut Children
