Onion, I met your viola teacher yesterday!!!

And someone who knows Violinia...and two kids who had been in Hungary at the same time as me the other week...and a boy I used to teach at Guildhall (now about 14 and who insists on wearing a suit, shirt and cufflinks at all times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) )...and several other people whom I'd met previously (but didn't remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) ) and people who knew people I knew...

Small world, this music one!

Small world, this music one!

It was just thinking about two small worlds yesterday!

On Facebook I am friends with two authors - they co-write, and are probably my favourite fiction authors. Because I am friends with both of them, it suggests that I may know people who also know them both. Now, an awful lot of these are fans like me, but every so often FB will suggest that I know some well-known sci-fi writer or other. It always makes me laugh.

And then, similarly, because I am friends with some forumites, it suggests me friends from that direction. Mostly it is other forumites (the other day, for example, it suggested I might know somebody named Cyrilla!)...but occasionally it is a Name in the recorder-world. And that always makes me grin too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That sort of thing makes me smile as well. I have a policy of only adding people I know properly (ie face to face or after so much on line interaction I feel I know them face to face) to FB I'm often surprised by it's suggestions. Though with some of the folks from here my initial thought is 'who?'

LinkedIn is funny in this respect too! A friend (who more than once seemed to have a job available that he thought I could do - til he found out I was the wrong sort of programmer) persuaded me to join but I haven't bothered with it much. So I don't have many connections for it to suggest who else I might know. So it takes a guess and seems to think I know anyone who has ever studied at the Open University (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I've just read a most marvellous book, Nauticus in Scotland. This is a book written by a man in 1882 who undertook a 2400+ mile tour of Scotland by tricycle.

I am so so so so happy to discover that he also undertook a 1400+ mile tour of England on his tricycle, and I shall be ordering up that book rather soon I think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd quite fancy a go on the tricycle as well! It's one of these beasties (without the Victorian lady installed):

Edit: ohohohohoh, and a link to a photo of one, which is actually an 1882 version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eucharisto_deo/4353944091/

Agreed - today LinkedIn suggested that I might like to join a group of figure skating coaches...
