Many bloggers don't feel the need to explain but I'd prefer to, if only for the benefit of friends who check in here to see if things are all right.
I've been right in the middle, since last Friday, of the process of shifting house and a couple of job nibbles have come up, meaning train travel. The effect on the blog is unfortunate.
While I still have substantial internet access these few days, there'll be some posts of the kind readers know but more erratic this week. Sometime this weekend it's going to change and until BT or whoever give me a connection, it's going to be from the library for the hour they let you have. The new connection won't be for some weeks as there are other priorities like getting house things in, so this might even run up to my birthday.
Visiting fellow bloggers is going to be the main problem. Posts can be pre-prepared and put up in a couple of minutes but visits take time and my blogroll is long. My priority order is going to be to visit the most regularly interactive with this blog, mybloglog visitors, sitemeter referrals, Bloghounds and then the main and second lists. Aim is to get round to the latter once a week and the main people every day.

Can't see any other way to do it but at least the blog won't be dead.
What a thoughtful diligent blogger you are!
ReplyDeleteYour first priority is getting your life in order; we'll drop in to see how you're doing, but your first concern is to get things together. When you are all settled, then you can worry about visiting us.
ReplyDeleteThe best of luck with the move, James. We'll still be here when you return to full blogging power.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bob- get everything sorted out and then come round and say hello. Good luck with all of this- I'm impressed you have maintained your current output- it demonstrates your dedication to this form and to your friends- but there are times when you have to put yourself first, whilst you get everything sorted I'd say this is one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move hope it all goes well... see you soon once all is settled and well :-)
ReplyDeleteBob is right about your first priority. I am sure you know I am wishing you the best and hope it all works out smoothly for you xx
ReplyDeleteHow typically sweet of you to be concerned about doing the rounds so people do not feel neglected.
ReplyDeleteI agree with other readers' comments. You tend to put others needs above your own.
