Check In?

Why do people Check In on Facebook?

Most people do not Check In from the kitchen, Asda, The Forge, the laundrette or the bathroom. They Check In from, 'Mappin and Webb', 'The Corinthian', 'Amarone' and the like! Is it like the old days when we used to send postcards just to let people know where we were? Is abroad now simply being out of the house? Or do people want to delude themselves that their life is less ordinary than others' by only pointing out the good bits. Do we hide the dull parts of our lives behind tiny glimmers of granduer in the hope that it will make life seem better and bearable?

I have not left the house for two weeks due to having an operation on my foot so my only Check Ins have been, bed, bathroom, kitchen and couch. How interesting you may be thinking, or not, but it has been quite an adventure just the same and I do not mind bragging about it one little bit!
