Numbers and I have never got on very well together, I’m much more of a word person. That’s probably why I was under the impression that I started blogging on 6th February, 2009 when it was actually 2nd February, 2009. So I’ve missed it.
Not to worry, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy blogging and communicating with people that it would never have been possible for me to ‘meet’ otherwise. Visiting other people’s blogs expands my world which otherwise would be a fairly narrow one as I don’t often get out and about to meet folks, whether they’re in Anstruther or far flung Arizona.
I hope I bring a bit of interest and pleasure to people. I’m the first to admit that my book meanderings are very far from academic dissertations, that would be too much like hard work, I hope just to give a flavour of books which I’ve read.
I can’t help thinking that ‘Pining’ must have been a grave disappointment to the 663 people (youngsters I imagine) who got here one day, looking for my thoughts on John Buchan’s Greenmantle. That has been my busiest day for some time – by far. The poor wee scones won’t have found much that they could copy into their homework I fear – unless they were in very dire straits indeed!
Anyway, I’m looking forward to another year of blogging. I hope you all continue to hop by from time to time. I’m still not doing as much hopping as I would like to do because of our internet connection being fiddled with. I hope they sort it out soon!
Happy blog birthday!
Niranjana,
Thanks, all the way to Canada. It’s amazing how the internet has changed things!
Happy blog birthday late. Congratulations on 4 years of blogging. Wow. I have enjoyed reading your blog over the last year. For some reason I had thought I started blogging in early Feb of 2012, but I was off by 2-3 weeks. So mine will be coming up sometime soonish.
TracyK,
Thanks, I’ll be looking out for your blog birthday. The time has gone in so quickly.
Happy Unbirthday and a big wave from snowy Edinburgh. I’ve been enjoying your blog for almost two years now – even though I’ve only recently surfaced to leave comments, ( I always thought only other bloggers would be commenting!) Please keep on writing and I hope your internet connection gets better soon.
Linda,
Quite a lot of commenters don’t have blogs. It’s lovely that you’ve broken your silence. We had snow last night, the first of the winter here but it had almost all gone by the morning, thankfully!
Adding my unbirthday wished! I always enjoy seeing what you’re reading now, or hearing about crafts, and admiring your pictures (and envying your travels).
Lisa,
Thanks. We aren’t getting very far afield at the moment due to the weather but have some jaunts planned soon. My crafts are all at the work in progress stage, I keep starting new projects before finishing old ones!
Congrats on 4 years blogging – here’s to many more. I always enjoy your posts. My blog birthday is a bit of a problem for me because I did one post and then didn’t write anything else for 5 months! So, I count the later date as the date I really started blogging. And I do forget some times to mark the occasion! đŸ™‚
Margaret,
Thanks. I started off quite slowly too but I think it was about one a week until I really started to enjoy it. You’ve been blogging for years longer though, an inspiration as so many people seem to fall by the wayside!
Congratulations, Katrina, and Happy Blog Birthday! You know you’re my favorite!
Joan Kyler,
Shucks! Me too!
Happy birthday blog from me too!
Keeping up with reading blogs is tough sometimes. But yours is always one I read even if I not always comment.
Hence why I am late to this post!
Jo,
Thanks. I’m exactly the same with you, it’s always interesting!
Happy Blog birthday, although I am late in wishing it! Glad to see Linda has stopped lurking and is now a commenter! My blog birthday was 10 January, and I forgot about it!
Maybe I’ll do an update on it in my blog!!
Evee,
Thanks, it’s lovely that Linda has joined in, the more the merrier, I hope we can all meet up one day. Maybe you could have your blog birthday on 10th February, just for this year. I’m terrible with anniversaries in general!
Happiest of birthdays from Arizona! I’m so glad that I started reading your blog. I really enjoy your posts and your humor. Here’s to many more years for Pining!
Anbolyn,
Thanks so much. I enjoy getting a peek at Arizona and you through Gudrun’s Tights such a lot. The internet has changed life amazingly.
