Bright and shiny new things!!

I don't know about you, but I like to live a settled and comfortable life. I'm happy with things. Happy with me. Happy with those around me. Just, happy.

The trouble is these days, people are obsessed with something new - its the new way of "keeping up with the jones's". Increasingly we live emotionally crippled lives and, as a result, feel the need to feast on material things to feel fulfilled. Sorry to be philosophical, but I think you know what I mean and, may even agree with it!!

But occasionally, just occasionally, I make the big leap from my tent into the unknown. I gird my loins ready for something new, and possibly, exciting. Doomed society aside - it does do one good to occasionally look above the parapet, meercat-like. And this week I have done just that.

Let me explain. Firstly....Twitter. Yes I am a tweeter. I like a nice tweet. What a strange phenomenon, though. People asking for advice on what to do and where to go, celebs updating us on when they last put the rubbish out and people pretending to be celebs putting the rubbish out. However, or the most part, it seems like fun. Less intrusive that certain social networking sites and, just occasionally, quite informative. If I'm honest, I have actually been on there for quite a while. I have lain low, just sitting and watching and working out how it all works. In the end, just like everyone does, I'll get bored and tweet for the last time. But I'm liking it at the moment. If you want to follow me I'm "pookiesnackers" and if you want to follow the radio station for things like local news updates and the latest bit of Eagle fun find us at "eagleradio". Tweet you soon!

The other leap of faith has been to order a "salt pipe". Its supposed to help asthma and allergies (which I am so lucky to have as friends on my life fanpage). I will report back on how that goes, once it's arrived in the post!

Here's to new things! As long as I can still stay in my nice comfy armchair!
