#13&14

Hi Everyone - completing numbers 13 & 14 together.  Obviously I've still got a lot to learn. - I thought I would have plenty of time these holidays to explore more deeply the web2.0 tools - where does the time go - here it is Monday, one week of holidays down and I am just completing last week's homework. My life has been busy, as well as teaching, I am a 'Marriage Celebrant' and love this job even if though this keeps me very busy - that's good I guess!
I am always meeting happy people, (you would hope those planning to marry were happy!!).  Sharing the journey to the wedding day is a privilege, and one of the highlights of every wedding is watching the eyes of the groom as he sees his bride walking towards him.

Well that is the good news, sadly the rest of my holidays have been spent with my father-in-law who is now in a 'Palliative Care Unit'.  I am not complaining about the time we have spent there as I have been very lucky to have such a lovely man as a f-in-law. We are having the morning off while my sister in law visits and will take the afternoon shift so I am quickly looking at "My Space" and "Facebook", trying to get last week's work covered before this week's rolls in! By the way, the grandchildren (ranging between 20 and 34 in age) were talking about Twitter & Facebook while we were all together yesterday - it's a different way of life but so great for keeping in tough with the travellers, one of my nephews is a travel guide in South Africa and I have heard so much about his travels and the great photos he is posting.

Have previously not been interested in getting into the 'social networking' scene - however this morning I have had a lovely time looking through My Space, read some information re Ning, Linked-In, and Twitter and nearly convinced myself that I will join 'Facebook' - whilst doing this I have been listening (thanks to My Space) to the music from Adele.  As yet I have not found anyone I know, I even did a search in the local area, to no avail.  I have learnt that those subscribers seem to talk in a "shorthand' type language with a very definite lean to slang!  Maybe I'm too verbose!

Oops time has flown - I have been playing/searching longer than I thought - must go...thanks for reading my ramblings today...
I hope those of you on holidays are nice and relaxed

Hope I can repeat this exercise a few times to keep practising. Happy holidays to those who will be enjoying some R&R

#11 Library Thing

Wow, I'm going to be so busy in the holidays - this looks like a great site to add to my list of things to do.  The luxury of time without the next class rolling in the door will be welcomed.  Hopefully I'll try adding a few books from home to my "Library Thing".  I love the idea of group talks too.

Happy Reading
