You may remember Wee Little Gnome from photos like “Look out, there’s a frog behind you”.

Well, one of the gnome groups I am in on facebook (ok, you can just take me away now) is holding a Miss Gnomer Pageant. Not having any female gnomes, there was a vote and it was decided that Wee Little Gnome should be the entrant.
Unfortunately on reading the pageant rules a little closer I discovered it was open to both female AND male gnomes, but by this time Wee Little Gnome seemed to like his outfit and wanted to enter like that anyway.
Somehow there is something strangely disturbing about this picture! Thought I’d throw it out there and see what you all think…

He definitely looks confused. I'm on Facebook too. The older generation are joining and it's not cool anymore. Not sure what my granddaughter thought when her Gran joined and asked to be her friend.

PMSL!

I don't have any gnomes in my garden - but I do have a Kermit sitting by my pond. By the way, love your avatar!

Can your gnome do any other impressions? You could make him a grass skirt...

Hi Gillian. there are 4 Gillian Floyds on facebook. I sent a friends request to the first one on the list because it said Toronto, Ontario. Then I saw the fourth Gillian was also from Ontario but from Barry. Did I choose the right one? If you look for me I have the same pic of me as on GOY so you will recognise.

Maybe there are 4 Chrispooks from Orboyttyan ~
all looking 35 years old :o)

TT I can guarantee there are no other Chris Pooks in Orbottyan. There are a few on Facebook but they don't look like me. Talking of Orbottyan theres no sign of Cluelesskev and i'm off to Slovakia tomorrow. Oh well maybe he's not coming this way, maybe he's going to surprise Marguerite in Australia instead. I think she's due back from her trip to Holland.

He has an angelic face. Maybe the ribbon suits him.

And that answers my question about what's happened to Marguerite. I thought maybe something dreadful had happened to her.

What's facebook ?

Chrispook :
Yesterday you used two different spellings:
Orbottyan and Orboyttyan.

No wonder Cluelesskev can't find you ~
changing the place names to confuse him :o)

24 Sep, 2008

 

Sorry the first spelling is correct, the second is a typo. Hywel Facebook is a social networking site that was popular with a lot of youg people but now our oldies have got in on the act. You link up with people by accepting them as friends and then they have access to your profile. Obviously you can write as little or as much as you like. It's a low key way of keeping track of friends with not too much effort. Many people in Facebook join groups, and there are groups for everything you can think of. The church I attend in Budapest has a group for example, pictures and videos can be uploaded and there are discussion forums.
I only joined it recently because my sister encouraged me, ant there are other family members on too so we can keep track of each other without writing lots of e-mails.

Thanks Chris, That's interesting. I may have a look.

Gillian I only hope that my Hector doesnt see this ,he will want to get all dressed up as well lol

24 Sep, 2008

 

Oh, I'd like to see Hector dress up too Janette!
Chris, I just took a quick look through my new emails and it said there was a friend request from you, so you must have found the right one! There only used to be one, it was easier then! Will be heading over to facebook shortly.

Janette ~
Please upload a photo of dressed-up Hector and Shamus :o)
