No, she hasn't started her chores yet, she decided she would read and answer her emails first and then go about tidying this place.
Now you have to be a new Dear Reader if you are unaware that she is not a fan of Facebook. She doesn't go onto the site very often.
She's been known to send a message through their system to people if she doesn't have a telephone number for them but that, Dear Readers, happens very seldom.
So she was, not annoyed but 'ticked' off to see when she signed in to her email account, to find several emails from Facebook and most of them were to suggest that she 'Friend' people whom she's never heard of, let alone met!
One of them said '..... You have 1 poke and 2 messages'. That flipping 'poke', we've told you about it before, it's been there for over six years!
She was poked by a woman who has an income from rental properties of over £100,000 a year and inherited an enormous sum but will not lift a finger or spend a penny to help her not so financially blessed elder sister.
Prior to 'poking' her on FB, she treated mama in a shabby fashion, rather like she treats her poor sister and mama thought to herself 'do I need a person who behaves like this in my life,' the answer being no, but she's refused to accept that we don't want anything to do with her.

And there was one that said 'See LuLu's photo tag and other notifications that you have missed', how do they know we've missed it?
Dear Readers it is because this website follows your every move, we find it slightly creepy, no, very creepy that they know what you're doing all the time and we find it extremely amusing that their address is, wait for it, Hackers Way!
These emails 'drop' into her e-mail box every day, this is despite clicking on the tab at the base which says Unsubscribe, she's clicked that many times, they don't come for about a month, then they start again.
It's so impersonal, if she has something amusing, interesting, important or vital to tell a friend or wants to hear their news, she finds a telephone call or a chat over a meal or coffee is so much nicer OR if they are miles away and you cannot afford the cost of a long distance call, how about an old fashioned letter or.. an email.
Rant over.. we're having rice and root vegetables for our late lunch. She keeps a selection of rice in the 'dry' store and todays' rice comes from the Camargue.. red rice.. nutty and tasty with onions, ginger, and turmeric roots, garlic, carrots, parsnips and the prettiest green vegetables ever.. more about these pretty things in another post.
But it won't cook itself.. so we are off to do it and will be back later as we want to tell you about a website that a darling friend has just told us about.
Zoom-zoom. Flap-flap. Off I go, I love red rice!
