I watched something quite awful unfold on Twitter last week, and I began to wonder whether we are being a little bit too open about our personal lives? I have nothing to hide about my personal life (except my identity!), and my personal details are there for all to see. There are "crazies" out there, that we can be sure of, but I never expected to see such vitriolic abuse targeted at one individual. To cut a long story short, an individual, for reasons of their own decided to target a particular lady who had been campaigning and raising awareness for different charitable groups. This lady had been open and honest and had suffered her own personal tragedy, but for some reason " the crazy" had decided that she was a charlatan. Over a period of a week her "friends" had become the subject of a barrage mad tweets and saw the lady being reduced to a quivering wreck and trying to explain to friends what had happened in a very moving audio boo .

Ballooooooooooons! I love hot air balloons. Even typing 'balloon' is fun. But I could never go in one after reading 'Enduring Love' by Ian McEwan. Death by hot air balloon is NOT fun.
ReplyDeleteUp up up and awaaaaaay! Beautiful sight x
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could go in one either, I don't like heights unless I have a parachute attached...looked good from the ground though!
ReplyDeleteohh lovely hot air balloons I've not seen any for a while round here
ReplyDeleteI love hot air balloons, they are such a peaceful sight... Emma :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! Going on a hot air balloon is on my list of things to do!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on one either! Fab pic!
ReplyDeleteI agree about Ian McEwan - he has ruined balloon rides for everyone! It still looks so much fun though and so exciting when you spot a balloon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that one...next for the list I guess!
ReplyDeleteI too love balloons, we have a hot air balloon festival here in our town this weekend coming. Unfortunately we will not be here as the dog is terrified of them and pees all over the house. I would love to take the kids but the carpets come first! Unless someone offers to take the dog for the weekend!!
