:-) Thank you! I love olives and pickles as well. Facebook is the bane of my existence (in the real world, I'm a computer security "expert"). And you need to see my Vardo for camping - it's a travel trailer but done in the Tudor style.
ReplyDeleteA Tudor style travel trailer I just can't even imagine but it sounds like too much fun!! :)
DeleteThank you! I agree with you and Isabella, pickles and olives are delicious and Facebook is pure evil.
ReplyDeleteBeing a crazy cat lady sounds like lots of fun too. How would the cats get along with your rats?
Mouse Borg. I like to refer to Facebook as "the yawning abyss of banality"(TM). It's my own creation, but you all can use it. I regularly observe what floats through your mother's facebook account, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a single thing of substance from any of her 250 odd friends. Most of it gives "drivel" a bad name. Another alarming statistic is that facebook is a major factor in 1/3 of all divorces (article in UK paper, the Daily Mail). Lots of badness in that.
DeleteOh, and I LOVE olives.
