Where have I been?

A bloggers holiday?

I read this in many posts, though most are only a holiday of a month or so. Really I've been on a blog abandonment stint. You get all fired up, you create the blog, swear faithfully that you will post every day....then every other day...once a week....once a month.

Then the whistling in your mind starts. The kind of whistle where you know there is something you should be doing but instead you are trying to ignore it. Then something distracts you, a new interest - perhaps downloading movie scripts, searching for exotic recipes, creating words by closing your eyes and hitting a few keys and coming up with 'jfkeo' then googling it to see if there is any other reference to it anywhere on the web. Which there are! How about another shot 'ueiroh', nope nothing that time. See how easy it is to be distracted? But it keeps the fledgling blog out of your mind.

And once you have forgotten there are the virtual tumbleweeds that roll through your blog on winds of loneliness

..........tumbleweed.....................................................a circling vulture.......................another tumbleweed...................................

Very sad, like an abandoned puppy with big eyes and a sad expression, just hoping someone will came and pick you up and give you a cuddle.

So that's what this is: a blog cuddle

Hopefully to be followed by a couple more cuddles and then perhaps I'll let the blog move in and give it daily affection

perhaps........
