I don't have any photos today.
gasp What?
I know, I'm sorry.
It's terrible. I suppose now you'll never ever read my blog again in protest!
I have been, however, reflecting on this blogging caper I seem to have got myself all caught up in. And I've come to a few conclusions actually:
Firstly, I've always had an issue with any sentence beginning with the word 'and '- but I'm relaxing my rule - I'm guilty of starting lots of sentences with the word 'And' on this blog.
Making a commitment to blog everyday for the entire holiday period was a CRAZY idea!!!!!! I'll never do it again (but I'm pleased I stuck with it - once I start something, I like to see it through).
It's annoying when I discover a spelling error in a post, a day AFTER I've published it! Errrr...I always look so carefully. Sometimes those naughty misspelled words blend well, or put on a disguise, or think they are American!
Uploading photos costs a fortune and
I'm well and truly breaking our up-load budget here! You mainlanders wouldn't
understand!!!!! Not everyone has fast, reliable and affordable internet
services!!! whinge whine....I'm allowed to (it's my blog after all). It's the price we pay for living in paradise - oh poor me! sob sob
Comments are nice. Initially the sole purpose of my blog was to keep the related peeps at home informed of our daily grind. But then I heard on the grapevine of some lovely folks from Canberra, whom I don't know, passing on a message through someone who knows of me etc that they were reading my blog regularly and really enjoying it. I was flabbergasted - I just didn't imagine this would happen. It gave me a new perspective about how some aspects of my life are now "out there" for all to see. And (Oops, there I go again) I'm comfortable with that, really. But back to the issue of comments, I didn't set out to write a blog to have people (besides my sister - it's mandatory for her) make any comment at all. After all, what would they feel compelled to say? But I actually TRULY get excited when someone leaves a comment. I feel appreciated somehow - silly right? - and oh so egocentric I suppose! I'm now making more of an effort to comment on other blogs I read, out of courtesy. It's blog etiquette I believe.
Well enough of that. I didn't feel so crash hot today and consequentially, I did almost nothing - lots of good old laying around. Although I did pick up the pace ever so slightly late this afternoon, as I have just returned home from seeing a movie. It was called 'Red Dog'. Go and see it if you can, I loved it. Come to think of it, we get movies here 6 months behind everyone else, so you can probably hire it from your local video store.
Tomorrow is a BIG day for us.....but you'll have to wait until then to find out why. I might even up-load some really bandwidth hungry photos!!

AND well done on blogging everyday Michelle!!! AND such a big effort!!! AND I don't know how you did it!!! Haha...honestly, well done, it really does take a lot of dedication, how you found the energy to blog EVERY night I really don't know...xo
Absolutely, you ARE crazy for blogging everyday of the holidays. That's just not normal, ok?! Seriously though, hats off to you.
And (!!!) I loved yesterdays post. It looked like a perfect day. Your beach is really very beautiful, its true. I've been on a few not-too-shabby ones (Hawaii, Bahamas, Bermuda) and Emily Bay stands her ground among them for sure.
Comments and co-commenting really makes the blogging world go 'round (and makes it a nicer place too).
Have loved reading about your holiday days, although I only pop in every second day or so. Now there's going to be a big gap I will have to remember to pop you on my blogroll.
I'm the same about strangers reading my blog - like, *really*? Why?! But I guess it's for the same reason I read other blogs (it's just that other people's lives and children always sound much more exciting/interesting/well mannered/smarter, etc.).
