“The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It's a time for protecting and securing things and for making sure you've got in as many supplies as you can. It's nice to gather together everything you possess as close to you as possible, to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep hole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own. Then the cold and the storms and the darkness can do their worst. They can grope their way up the walls looking for a way in, but they won't find one, everything is shut, and you sit inside, laughing in your warmth and your solitude, for you have had foresight.”

Hi Ray.
ReplyDeleteA couple of days ago I discovered that Facebook had disallowed my access to their network. They had picked up that 'Frankly Speaking' was unlikely to be a real person's name, and I had to upload evidence to show my real name. I now have access again to my facebook account, but it has my real name on it. I will be unable to make any change to it except via their team.
It occurred to me that, in theory, 'Hay Quaker' might fall victim to the same fate?
Wishing your luck with it anyhow !

Thanks for the tip off Frank. So far fb is leaving me alone, but will expect the worse!
