Blogs are a funny old medium. It puts you in touch with the world and is a release for whatever creativity you may have. Telling folk about 'blog' is always interesting.
There is my mother aged 77. I have not even begun to describe blogsphere to her I just tell her my 'penpal' description ... as in I do stuff on the internet (she realises there is this wonderful instant thing that can tell you anything you need to know at a touch of a button. I often look up stuff she is wondering about as I am chatting on the phone) and I have people in loads of countries I am in contact with.
She has met Olga and refers to her as 'the Californian bra'.

My daughter says 'why do you get weird stuff delivered?' when I win competitions on FMB and 'who is Daddypapersurfer?' .. I ask that myself many times lol and 'get MySpace Mum is is so cool' ermm I don't think so I have Facebook and can't keep up with that!!
My friends know I blog and 2 have set their own up and the others including 'Sam' on here pop in and read but don't comment but do e mail and call me to say they are popping in and laugh about it (that is laugh with me not at me btw lol). My niece, however, who I have talked about in my 70s diaries (she is 34 now) has taken on the task to keep her eyes open for anything 70s in charity shops and the like. When she house sat for me when I was in Madrid she left a 1979 Action Man Annual, how cool is she.

It sooo amused me. Just check out the differences in boys and girls annuals. I don't have a girls 1979 annual so used the year before 'Ja
ckie 1978'
I randomly picked page 14


then page 58... bugger, drat and double drat! could have made my fortune and wrote 'Venus and Mars',,,,,,
