This has been Blogday.
When we went to bed last night we were without a functioning connection to the world wide web.
Hell's teeth! I felt bereft - cut off from so much that pleases me.!
We woke up late this morning - to be greeted by a phone call from Tiscali asking us to check everything because they said we now had a connection.
Hooray! They were right.
The day has been very grey - with rain threatening most of the time as the wind blew fiercely.
We didn't go anywhere.
For me it has been a blog day - mine and other peoples'.
I caught up with describing our walk at Tilgate yesterday - after this evenings's ramblings.
I then added to my Pilgrims Antiques blog. I am so glad that it now appears nearly at the top of a google search - even with just West Street Dorking.

Now I have to start thinking of a theme for next week.
And then I began to look at other blogs.
It takes such a little time to feel you start to get to know the authors.
I have already mentioned one I found recently
http://stmargaretsphotodiary.blogspot.com/
The author is a nature lover - birds and butterflies mostly. But blogs seem to include many snippets apart from a main theme.
Jamie's weather blog is like that - more about him and his activities than the weather really.
I have copied one of the bird watcher's photos - just because it impressed me so much.
This is a red throated diver.
This blog mentions some other blogs - lots of birdwatching ones of course.
But I opted for the miscellaneous ones.
And I discovered diamond geezer.
This man lives in East London and writes every day - more than me......can you believe that?
His topics are very varied, but I have seen that he is quite an underground train geek.

This man wrote yesterday an open letter to his new next door neighbours - who are annoying him greatly. I assume he does not mean to send it to them, but it got it off his chest in an amusing manner.
From his page I found another about charity shops.
It is called Charity Shop Tourism.
The author talks of places where charity shops have been explored.

There are just so many blogs to discover (millions?).
And I know most people hardly have the time to browse through my blog - but do have a look at others some time.
I have some favourite Thai blogs that I look at apart from Jamie's.
I have also been communicating with the bogglers of the world again.
Today at lunchtime there was a crazy person on that chat line and also playing.
He /she was stupid and rude to other players.
Was that person there when you were there Roger?
But most people are full of support for each other.
I shall watch TV shortly - the Andrew Marr history programmes about the 20th century.
So, goodnight all.
