So apparently it's a day for posting something random to celebrate the existence of LJ - which I'm totally on board with celebrating because I practically live here these days. So here's a wave to all my lovely flist - thanks for being my friends on here, I do appreciate that so many of you bother to read and look at my posts, and for all the connections I've made on here and online generally. Y'all rock, my dears, you all enhance my life enormously.

And as an aside, here's what i've been doing the last couple of days - meeting up with online and non-online friends and family and having a lovely time.

This is two friends from the Chicago area, visiting the Black Country museum with another friend who we 'met' via Facebook, plus my parents. My Mum has been chatting with one of the Americans and the Black Country boy online and this was their first meeting face to face. I'm taking the photo. Isn't the internet wonderful?

All so lovely. I'm glad to see your mom's arm is doing better (last I saw she was wearing a sling).

Oh yes, much better thanks! She's got an impressive scar and her fingers still don't work so well, but she's able to do so much more now, and she's back gardening like a boss! :D

The internet IS wonderful. I have been amazed over the years to meet so many terrific people online and then sometimes in person. I have a friend I met through the LOTR fandom, for example, who I am still in touch with on a regular basis, attend scifi cons with, and watch TV with remotely (since we live in different cities). We just queue up netflix and say 1-2-3-PLAY while on our phones. Ain't it grand?

It's truly marvellous. I've got so many friends that are real friends now, (whether I've met them or not) - it's like this huge support network. Love it!

Truly wonderful, yes! And it looks like a lovely round you got together there - smiles all around :).

That looks like fun. I've done a few internet meet-ups, but I've never combined them with familial things.

That's the nice thing about Facebook - my Mum loves chatting to my friends on there and we have this group that has carried on that 60 Day challenge from Live Journal from about 3-4 years ago ever since. We had to rename it the 60K challenge!

The internet is lovely. Today for instance. So much fun getting little snapshots of everyone's life. Your mom's arm looks better, I think?

:)

Yes much better - there are still things she can't do but that is offset by the massive improvements so she is happy there is progress happening.
