Howdy FBLS’ers!
Has it really been 2 weeks since we played this last? Is this really the second last FBLS before the year is out? Wow!
Speaking of time flying, today I’m having brunch with an old, old friend. One of the first friends I ever made when I first moved to Australia.
Cheeky mites that we were, she had a wonky fringe and I had gappy teeth. Growing up together as tweens, she had a thing for Freddie Mercury and Queen while I was madly in love with John Taylor and Duran Duran. Ahems.
But as it is with life and the separate paths we take, we lost complete touch, both in different parts of the globe.
Enter the wonders of Facebook and we were among the hundreds of millions who reconnected. After 20 years of being apart, we had our first reunion just this past August.
Look at that! No more bowler haircuts or crooked teeth.
On this day of FB lovin’, I am grateful that I found her again. Even more ecstatic that after all this time, we’re still the same nutty gals.
What’re you up to this fine Sunday ?
Don’t forget the important stuff:
1. Copy and paste your Facebook Fan Page URL and link it up below
2. If you can, please “Like” a fellow blogger’s page through your personal account. (For some bizzaro reason, the number of Likes on a fan page is only tallied from personal accounts).
3. For the love of bloggy karma, don’t link and dash! Reciprocate the FB Like love, ‘k?
* Not a deal breaker but how about giving a shout out to a new page you found ? Doesn’t cost much. Give tenfold, get hundred back, I say.
P.S To try and get as many bloggers joining in, please share or retweet this post! The more pages there are here to “Like”, the more love there is to share!

Freddie Mercury was a true talent. He had the voice of an angel but he was a horny little devil. John Taylor was/is a square jawed hunk rat – my first devastating pop music crush. Old friends are the best friends. Its lovely that you were able to find each other again. Lotsa Love.

How wonderful that you found each other again! I must have been a few years behind because my main musical crush was Eric Weidemann from 1927 – ah, the memories!

Aw I love old friend pics. Whenever I catch up with my preschool buddy I feel like the world is suddenly right – someone that gets me from the beginning. Its exhausting establishing friendships as an adult x

Better late than never, right? “Liked” six pages and visited some blogs, too. This is fun – hope you keep it up and I promise to have my Sunday coffee on Saturday night from now on.
