Poor Danne and Helena!
Having arranged a wonderful New Year's Eve party (delicious Turkish buffet followed by disco marathon) they awoke on New Year's Day to face the horrors of breakfast with the Farrows.
Zoe who had been up since 8.30 was on the rampage: opening every cupboard she could and experimenting to see how much noise she could make with the various household implements she could lay her hands on.
Kai and Ulrika were conspicuous by their absence. When he finally woke up, he dashed straight into the TV room to start playing Super Mario Kart. She was allowed one slice of toast before being sent outside to dig the car out of the 3 feet of snow that had fallen during the night. This may sound a bit harsh but she really enjoys shovelling large amounts of snow in sub-zero temperatures.
Meanwhile I had taken over the breakfast table with my laptop, pile of blank Cds and various other pieces of electronic equipment.
The Markebeck Mellbins are a civilised family who eat breakfast together and indulge in witty, sophisticated conversation about the major events of world news. Breakfast a la Facebook was a whole new experience to them.
While Ulrika shovelled snow, I was busy doing important things on Facebook: updating my status bar, changing my profile photo several times, checking the weather forecast for Reykjavik, discovering about upcoming gigs in New Zealand and sending some friend requests to people I'd never met.
While I was taking care of my "friends", my poor friends got nothing more than a few grunts from me.
Facebook: it's revolutionised our ablity to commnuicate!
